Pfff, Oceanfree with it's special internet number which meant that you got 5 minutes per unit rather than 3 minutes for the local number. Then there was IOL Unlimited access, streaming radio at night was epic.

BTW, 52kbps, could never get that, mid to high 40s are the best you could hope for, was good enough to play Unreal Tournament though.

Always got solid 52, in fact just realised even as a youth I was a cynic, thought eircom were ripping us off of that 4kbps

I used to be able to get Call of Duty (I think it was United Offensive) going for an hour before the ping went mental

A water watch. Pour water in the side every couple of days to power it.

Had one, eventually the limescale in the water clogged the cells. You needed to use distilled water (I found out too late)

I had one of those too, inherited it from our rich cousins, it also came with little steering controlers for the racing car game we had for it.
Good times.

It was only recently I realised the rocket was just a baked beans can with a funnel on top.

I had an Atari as a kid, and this morning my sister gave me this. Was like a kid first thing Christmas morning playing games!

Lucky Bastid!

What do the controllers feel like.

Anyway, I made a little mistake, the VCS I got 31 years ago. This I got 30 years ago....

They feel hollow compared to the original ones, they are wireless too!

Snip.

I have a Raleigh Styler out in my shed with the chrome frame and black mag wheels!
I still love it.

I got an Atari VCS for Christmas about 30 years ago as well. It has lain under a bench in the garage for approximately 20 years. I dug it out about six months ago for a retro games event. Still working.....

Sorry, forgot I had a pic of it:

I got this more than 30 years ago- a Mamod Steam Roller SR1a. It still runs (as does the Mamod company) and I take it down and run it for my own children once or twice a year.

This is yet another Christmas gift from more than 30 years ago- junior microscope, Japanese made so decent lens quality. I actually used this recently to confirm the (worn) condition of the stylus on my record player (yes, I am old school!). I remember having great fun with this- disecting spiders and the like!
