Same here anyone remember those old Disc Shooting Guns that were out in the 80's and how a Penny was the Same Size as the Disc. Great ammo for getting back at a Sibling that made you mad.

Yeah, in our little high school we had a spy game that we used those guns for. It was kind of a roll playing game and when you died, you would get shot by one of those disc guns.

Yes it Does. Then there was the old reel to Reels sorry my Parents had one in 1985 when I was 10. Or the old 78's that my Grandmother Listened to all the time at her house when the TV was messed up. But at her house I was NEVER in unless it was Raining or it was dark.

8 tracks were actually damn fine for sound and longevity. I could make my ears bleed cranking Journey and Boston in my brother's 71 Ford LTD with the 8 track. Plus the 8 track is exactly what it's name says: 8 tracks of music laying down each of the instruments and voices separately. It was the first true stereo sound and because of that, you could jam the music without it sounding like unintelligible, crackling fuzz. Before that, the records used fake or "artificial" stereo with the whole recording on 1 track so when you turned it up, it bled together and just sounded horrible-like a radio station just out of tune. 8 track revolutionized portable music, but most important, how we listen to music. If you like to hear and discern each note on each instrument and hear each voice clear and perfect(sorry metal fans-that excludes you guys), tip your hat to the 8 track.

My grandfather had a 71 LTD too, in mint green, with the 8 track. Loved riding around in that car with him!

Uh, NO
8 track was inferior to cassettes which is why they were replaced by them. Think back through the haze. The tape had 8 tracks but 4 programs. What that meant was you had 4 2 channel tracks on a given tape. Because the channels were so narrow you ended up with noise from the heads reading cross track. That was in addition to the tape stretch that was a result of the design of the cartridge.
