Close.

I didn't have an Atari, had a Magnavox Odyssey 2. The first picture was from a game simply called "Football":

Image

I like the tagline: "You captain a team of realistic electronic superstars".

The second picture is John Elway for the NES, but it went by "John Elway's Quarterback":

Image

I remember it having the first "cheese play" for football even before online. If you ran backward far enough on an offensive play your quarterback would get some hyper speed mode and you could run circles around the defense and score on every play.

My cousin had an old gaming system, wasn't an atari. Used a TV Remote like controller that you would slide the game specific card over the controller. There was an old basketball game that was fun, you recruited your team and played. I always chose Tree Rollins on my team, he always got a guy with a name or nickname of Lurch.

Anyone ever play keno while sitting at the bar? Play my old man's birthday 6-15-53 and hit quite often with that combo. Just sat down and played $2 bucks a game and first game hit for a $100.

Too bad 8-16-35 never hits as I play those numbers all the time (bo Jackson as a white Sox, bo as a royal and the big hurt)

I just won a fucking Harley!

My old Warrant Officer posted this back in September:
Ok my friends, I have raffle tickets I’m selling for a custom 1978 Shovel built by Art Dunnier. Tickets are $25 each BUT there are only 400 tickets being sold. You don’t have to be present to win and if you can’t pick it up, we’ll figure out a way to get it to you (even with shipping costs, it’s a great deal).

Even if you don’t ride, it’s still a great chance to do something for our veteran’s. If you win and don’t want the bike, I will sell it and give you the money.

The bike will have a four speed Ratchet Top Tranny, and a Jockey Shift, plus many more customs. Title will be in hand day of drawing. I will post more pics as the bike progresses but be assured, anything from Art Dunnier will be badass.

This will be a complete Art Dunnier bike when done. NOT a basket case and not some off the shelf Sportster.

All proceeds will benefit DAD (Defending America’s Defenders) and their families this Christmas season.

NO VETERAN’S CHILD SHOULD EVER HAVE TO GO WITHOUT ON CHRISTMAS!!

You can PayPal as a family/friend and I will take pics of the ticket and send it to you.
Told the wife to buy 4 tickets, at worst we sent $100 to get gifts for children of veterans.
