I LOVE MINE! I stream my instant netflix movies through it on my tv. That alone is awesome. Plus my kids get to do video conferences with their cousins a few states away. Plus I talk to my brother in laws a few times a week (way more than my sisters in law, haha). Honestly I should get a commission I love it so much. :)<br /><br />Ok ok that aside, you're right those old school games are awesome!Cranberryfrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04384164423414892482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635439538504492273.post-43348544228500746412009-11-28T21:05:57.638-08:002009-11-28T21:05:57.638-08:00Does your pong have the "Duck Hunt" game...Does your pong have the "Duck Hunt" game where you shoot the dots with a gun?
