All you video game lovers........PLZ HELP!
« on: September 24, 2003, 06:18:38 AM »
I really love the sport of bowling, but I also like to collect classic video games from the 80's and earlier. Since I need to come up with a team name for my Sat. AM youth league I thought it would be fun to combine my two favorite things and have a video game themed team name. The only problem is that I can't seem to think of any at the moment Please help me name my team! I would prefer it if the name was related to older/classic video games, but I am open to any and all suggestions.
Thanx in advance,
Jeff

hmm...could always go old school with Channel F (the old Fairchild offering).  Oh wait, youth league...the connotations might not go over too well

Maybe Pong...to go with any backrow plaque that you might happen to Ping

My Thursday night team name is X box because all that matters is putting an x in the win column.

It's almost been gone long enough that you can get a chuckle out of people again.

It's amazing how quickly pop culture moves now days.

My bowling is more reminiscent of a full colon.
