I'm hoping this doesn't get me banned from the site on my first post but I thought I'd suggest a couple of topics I'd like to see someone write an article about.

First off let me say I'm a huge fan of this site and I think I've read almost every article, at least all the one's I could find.

My writing/investigative skills are definitely up to par with what I've read on the site so far, so maybe someone with a little talent might like to dig into these topics (big apologies if these have already been talked about):

intellivision

laser tag

candy you don't see anymore - ie. bubble tape, candy whistles..

power glove ins and outs

Eddie Murphy live comedy shows - why were they better than anything we see now.

80's mac computers/games

Week at a glance for a tv schedule in any year 1985-1990

those are a few things from my childhood that I'd love to read a retrojunker's perspective on.

thanks all

Well, how about writing about these topics yourself? We always welcome new contributors, and it would be interesting to see what you could come up with. I would recommend reading Knites' article "On Writing" for a primer on how to do an article. Let's see what you've got.

thanks very much maybe I'll take a stab if I can summon up a little time/creativity. In the meantime if any of these articles already exist or if anybody writes about one of the topics please let me know, if you don't mind.

thanks again,

Wow, I didn't realize that those candies weren't being sold everywhere anymore. I see them all the time, they are some of my kids favorites. I loved them when I was a kid too. :wink:

Well my lack of sleuthing skills aside I found 2 articles already that were in my list of requests:

lazer tag: http://www.retrojunk.com/details_articles/2889/

intellivision: http://www.retrojunk.com/details_articles/1613/

both great articles. Thanks all for keeping childhood memories alive! :-)

Write an article about tape worms.
