All types of different gadgets introduce and leave our lives . Some stay for years and are cherished well past their efflorescence . Others we lose , whether sold off in our youthful ignorance or lost in some other equally tragic way .
Last month we require all of youabout the gadgets that you escape the most , and result cast from decades honest-to-god video game handhelds to Walkmans to ancient Apple product and yes , even a Blackberry or two . Here ’s some of the highlight from that US Army of contrivance we ’re deplorable to have left behind .
Commodore 64
My Father-God bought that computer for me and I would drop hours with every programme I could get my hands on … even some school text based escapade games … .Zork III anyone ? My best Quaker and I would dally a unmarried player biz cooperatively , called Elite … was a vector 3D ( ish ) blank shooter….was so much fun … Ah computer storage …

Apple II
My “ Woz variation ” Apple IIGS . There were probably plenty of them produce , so it ’s not really a collector ’s variant , but considering how much geek credit Wozniak has today , there would be something cool about have it still .

Tons of mentions of the Apple IIc and the Apple IIe as well .
Nintendo Game & Watch
I should have take beneficial tutelage of my Mario ’s Cement Factory instead of letting the neighbor Kid play with it and eventually lose it .

I had this one . It was a endowment from my dad who was n’t around very much so it sucked that much more when it disappeared

The axles were known to break . deplorable day when they broke . The best word is my son and I are basically recreating it with Arduino now .

Atari 2600 VCS
When I was a kid , I had an Atari 2600 VCS , which I disassembled when I was 16 and eager to know everything about electronics . Now I regret that so much . My hands still tremble and my eye go watery as I type this . My 2600 , noooo ! ! How could I do that ! ?

Note : Yes , the annoying kid in that commercial message is Seth Green .
Apple Newton MessagePad 2000
For my concluding two days of seminaryI took every individual note in every single class on that Newton , well from wherever I want to sit while students with laptop computer maneuvered for the few electric outlets in a 150 twelvemonth - old lecture hall … .That sorry son continued to mould for me for another three month until it train an intermittent big businessman trouble , and finally went to geek heaven in January 2000 .

Blackberry Pearl
Bottom line was Blackberry was in its flower , the trackball was a huge spring in origination , the curve was all the rage , and then boom . The Pearl came out . I pull it out every now and then and consider what life would be like to go simple tech ( per se ) in just using this for email and lite browsing . Of course then I get the itch to see some video and that fritter away chop-chop , and the phone run back in the boxful … RIP footling pearl .

Cybiko
Waaay ahead of its time . Around 5 or so years before smartphones were a thing . Very few people used them , but I thought I was very coolheaded having one . Tons of apps and games ( and a crummy doom clone ) .

Fairchild VES
I commemorate when my dad brought home the Fairchild VES and pose it up on our big 19″ console TV the cellar . He did n’t recount anyone , just bug out playing with it on his own ( which til this days astounds everyone as he is still hopeless with electronics ) . Man did that matter daze us .

Motorola E815
I ’ve had many gadgets come and go , but the one I miss the most is belike my Motorola E815 . It was my last “ dumb ” phone , but was far from dumb … It was a beastly lil ’ hombre , and I drop it the most due to its untimely death .

Zune 120
compare to the iPod classic ( it ’s obvious contender ) it had a bounteous screen , a more visceral stimulus method acting ( for me ) , and a immensely superscript clean phone output . It choke on me 2 old age ago .

Mattel Sports Handhelds
All Mattel Electronics sports handhelds . I leave them behind when I go to college , never did hook up with them again .
viarraattbbooyyy
Arcades…Just Arcades
The regular old TV arcade . When I was in college in the later 90 ’s you could still find them everywhere , shopping centre , abide - alone ones , even the pupil center . I pick out my sept to an amusement common last calendar week and the only game they had were a bike one , whatever passes for “ cruzin USA ” now and maybe Buck Hunter or whatever . And the “ beercade ” places do n’t count , since I ca n’t take my kids there .
