    Coleco Vision

    Allara this is a Coleco Vision setup. My brother went and pawned it for $100 dollars a while ago but it still worked perfectly.

    Classic is an understatement.

    I miss my Coleco! WOW has used frogger in their game mechanics, they should incorporate burger time into the next patch.

    Just cause your will to play is dead doesn't mean the game itself is dying.

    I've heard on podcasts and read on some websites that WoW might have a lifespan of another 3+ years. I just don't know how they come to these conclusions. EQ capped out at just under 500k accounts and recently celebrated it's 10th anniversary. WoW has over eleven million subscribers after it's 4th anniversary. I fail to see how EQ is going to outlast WoW.

    Keep in mind that WoW really hasn't faced any competition yet, I hear that they may have some serious competition in the pipeline from Blizzard - but that won't be out until 2014-2018. (ok, probably 2012 ).

    Also, the KOTOR MMO might dent WoW a bit.

    Blizzard's next mmo may cannibalize WoW to some degree. There are even a few others that have the potential to punch some holes in WoW or even grow the market (the KOTOR mmo trailer looked damn cool), but I don't think any of these games will ever kill WoW in such a short period of time (EQ1 and UO being proof of this). It's my opinion that WoW will live for quite a long time and then eventually fade away. I don't see blizz pulling the plug for another 15+ years, though.

    I don't know why he pawned it. Probably to get some quick cash to do something stupid with.
