How about a Colecovision console, or a Laserdisc player?

LaserDisc goes back go the early 80's I didn't go back that far and I've never heard of a Colecovision console before..?

I still have my laserdisc player... i have been unable to get rid of it. Everytime i look at it, the nostalgia knocks me off my feet.

My older brother had a Colecovision. The arcade ports were obviously SO much better than the hand-me-down Atari 2600 in my room. It died though, when he was playing it while our dad yelled at him and then yanked it out of the wall and chucked it across the room... The two of them, they, uhhh, didn't always get along.
