The Joystick Era

I have to admit that I've spent a few late nights back in the 80's watching this on VHS. This was the height of the joystick era where arcades were not only popular but still a quarter and a home wasn't complete without a game console. I was into any film that showcased computers, arcades and teens getting into trouble.

Sleep is not an option

This blog was created to reflect my childhood as well as adulthood addiction to quality late night tv, mainly from the mid 60's-80's. But not only sticking with the late night making you late for school in the morning shows but also the occassional Saturday afternoon Black Belt Theater and Godzilla programs as well. These are the programs that made me the Super Genius that I am today! But all is not a distant memory, the overwhelming VHS collection (and now DVD) that resides or rather has taken over a complete room still keeps me up late nights. A time when it was not uncommon to have 3 VCR's recording at the same time taping various shows. Yes I know that sounds like a serious issue but thats how it went down. Memories of my mother yelling, "Are you sleep yet?" are still so clear in my head!
