Gadget Freak!

I'm a fool when it comes to gadgets. My life would be incomplete if I can't settle for gadgets and things that are electronically mechanized. I can be lurking around in Lowyat for hours, if only it operates like Mustapha Centre, that would be heaven on earth.
But, the thing is, you got to have some bucks to spend, at least RM5k, then only that would be optimising your spending spree in Lowyat. With 5k, i could at least get an 8 gb Ipod touch, 40gb PS3, and a high spec desktop PC. Then only I will come out of that place smiling from ear to ear.
Gadgets i own now still doesn't live up to my basic necessity. I never can get enough of what I own now. Why is that? Is it because the more you own the more you crave? I was first introduced to handheld gaming console when I first laid my eyes on the 80's classic, 'unaptly' named GAME & WATCH! I do hope some of my peers remember this Game & Watch (GW). But i called it Game Watch without the amphersand. Yeah, that was my first love, vice or whatever you want to call it. The first GW i had(after several rebellious moments with my parents, pity them) was a Casio 's Western Bar.
Namesake, the idea of the game is to shoot up as many beer bottles, plates, slided by the bartender in a bar. Once you reached top score, an outlaw enters the bar and the rest, as u know, would be to defeat the boss. I could play that generic game console for hours back when I was in standard one.
For the record, I had dozens or so GW, from casio to Nintendo and I used to swap GW with friends. I bet kids nowadays never know what a GW is.
From then on, I got myself a real console, an Atari 2600, although, this is not what I wanted because in 1989, this is considered an obsolete item! I wanted a Nintendo Entertainment System 8-bit or NES and my father talked me into buying an Atari!which was much cheaper. But, what the hell, I'd just settle for anything as long as it is playable via the TV. To think of it now, I rather am happy that i got the Atari because only it can considered as a gem or a classic. Bundled with the Atari is a 40 in one cartridge which consists of Activision's title such as Space Shuttle, Laser Blast, Tennis, Checkers, etc. I had semi-fun time playing it and after 2 months or so, I managed to get what I wanted, which was the NES!I made a pact with my dad to fork in some of my money and he agreed. Voila! Alas, the dream came through in 1990, during the end of the year school holiday.
Ok, that's it for now, cos all this talking bout video games made me wanna turn on my PSP. We'll continue later, for the golden era of gaming!
