It was a rainy day here yesterday. Phil took off to Target early in the AM to try to find some Lego's for the girls to play with. He came home with something entirely different.

For $10 he had found a game system that hooked into the tv that played (get this) Ms. PacMan, Galaga, Pole Position and a couple of others less well known to us. Remember the original Atari systems?!? Remember how much they cost at the time?!? Remember playing in the arcades, for a quarter per play (of course now you can't play in the arcades for less than 50 cents)?

What I want to know is where are Donkey Kong and Centipede?!?

Of course, Phoebe, being her father's daughter, has been playing Pole Position and Ms. PacMan over and over (although, thankfully, not to the point of obsession that some kids reach) the ENTIRE time saying "SEE! The whole thing is meant to make me LOSE!" Apparently, the whole world is out to get her right now, including Namco Game Systems! So why can't she just put the thing down and walk away? Despite herself she must be having some fun.
