This was our first game console from around 1980 (I was 5!)

OMG, We had the same one! Pong was awesome back then!!!

My collection was slowing down (A little)  as my collection of NZ's Sportronics/Kitronix (1976) was near complete....

I first played video games on a Philips Odyssey 2 (Magnavox Odyssey²).

Magnavox Odyssey² on top, Philips Odyssey 2 on bottom. Same products, just different brands depending on the market. Philips bought Magnavox in 1974:

This week I got the best games console ever..

A 1972 Magnavox Odyssey

 

This was the first ever home games console released over 50 years ago..

 

Like, I know this in relation to retro stuff but I feel it applies? I picked up a LG C3 EVO 48" on Wednesday, for $750.... 

Going from TN, IPS and what not all 60Hz to OLED 120Hz and HDR? Good lord it's so so much nicer.

Umm.. Where from?.. I want one for (What I am hoping is) NZD $750

I started with a sega SC-3000 with a rubber keyboard and tape drive. Loading games off a cassette was really quite something.

I saw it on facebook for sale in Taupo. Dude had it listed as a LG 4k Smart TV. wanted $800. I offered him $750. I then drove from Hastings to Taupo the same day to get it lol

Before you ask, not stolen lol. Dude got it for free from Spark on his business account about a year ago and just didn't want it anymore. Luck. Pure luck.

Huh. I was not aware of that no. I can't remove the photo though or edit the comment so unless a mod can edit the photo for me lol

You can delete photos via the gallery, but I'm not sure whether you can replace it with a new one.

I will remove the email address and upload a new version @Dairusire
