That was a good read. It sounds horrible not playing anything other than an Intellivison into the year 2000. At the same time I hope he still has the intellivison and enjoyed in "taking part in a previous gaming era" to paraphrase his stance on the Genny.

Definitely a well written story. It had A Christmas Story kind of feel to it. Bravo on a great job Nick.

Deserved the win, that one. Right on, Mr. Gibson.
..but don't forget about the Intellivision! It needs love, too!

I was on vacation, so I'm a little late checking in.
I'm really surprised I won...there are so many excellent writers on this site.! At any rate, thanks for the complements. ^_^
And thank you, Melf and Mel, for doing this! Great competition format.

You said yours was too short, so you should cut yourself some slack. =) Thanks, though.
