This is a scoop and it's amazing ! <br/><br/> Look carefully at the controllers, they are white and gold but are very similar to the Intellivision ones : disc, lateral fire buttons and numeric keypad. <br/><br/> The console is bigger but gold and "wood-grained" ! But the best detail is the game they're playing. If you look carefully at the screen, you can see the game : it is Star Strike ! <br/><br/> In fact, it's normal that Barbie and Ken have fun with the Intellivision, they have the same boss : Mattel !!</p>

They must have no clue what they are doing. The way they have their hands cupped on the game pads, it would be an awkward reach to press the A and B buttons. Of course, then there's the fact that the kid in the blue shirt probably has the worst view of the screen of the bunch and he's supposed to be a player.</p><p>- Thanks to Matthew S.

This odd-looking and almost laughable computer was released in 1965 by Honeywell under the official name H316 Pedestal Model, but was featured on the cover of a Nieman-Marcus catalog under its more commonly-known name, the "Kitchen Computer". <br/><br/> The Kitchen Computer is most likely where the classic recipe storage cliché originated, as this was the primary use advertised for the Kitchen Computer. In fact, storing recipes was about all the Kitchen Computer was capable of doing. The recipes were programmed into the computer and it would store them for you. In other words, it was an electronic recipe storage box, nothing more. <br/><br/> When one thinks of computer hardware, they often think of a monitor or a keyboard or a printer. Well, the Kitchen Computer has perhaps the oddest piece of "hardware" we have ever heard of -- a cutting board. Yes, a cutting board! This oddity was most likely added so the food could be prepared right there without having to walk away from the recipe display, considering the Kitchen Computer isn't as portable as a good old-fashioned cookbook (It weighed a staggering 150 pounds). <br/><br/> The Kitchen Computer was obviously geared towards housewives who loved to cook. However any housewives who wanted one of these had to shell out A LOT of green, considering the Kitchen Computer sold for $10,600 when it was first introduced (You could buy about four new cars for that much money in 1965!). This price tag included the built-in recipes, and also included a cookbook and an apron !!</p><p>- Thanks to Torin Darkflight for picture &amp; info -</p>

No, I'm just jocking... <br/><br/> Second indication : it's a rich a meticulous family since they have plenty of Videopac cartridges, all well stored on the shelf and slightly tilted, enough so we can see them perfectly on the picture. <br/><br/> Last indication : the straw is very fashionable in the 80's.

They're playing with the well known frog game where you have to catch flies...a girly game in fact. <br/><br/> On the table there are 4 glasses for 3 persons, including 2 orange juices et 2 grape juices, quite weird ! What message the photograph wanted to tell us ? Surely something very important, because something else is strange : there is no cable between the Intellivision and the TV, but I don't know of any infra-red Intellivision... I think there's a real mystery behind this picture, something quite esoteric...</p>

+<p></p><p> Yannick Noah was a great french tennis player from the 80's, for those who didn't know... <br/><br/> This is an advert from 83 for the Home Arcade Advision, an Arcadia 2001 clone. You can't see clearly, but the cart label is completely fake. The real cartridge was surely not yet available when they took the picture... <br/><br/> The game itself is "Grand Slam Tennis", a well known game for the Arcadia. But in France, they called it the Yannick Noah Tennis, as he was in all its glory at this time ! Note that the screenshot is also completely fake. <br/><br/> Yannick is doing is most beautiful smile and the light from below, normaly reserved for scary movies, doesn't help to make him more attractive. Hopefuly, he's wearing a "Coq Sportif" shirt, jewel of the french textile industry. <br/><br/> Don't ask me who is the kid, it's just a blonde head, to sound "younger". </p>
