21 of them I grew up with.  I\'ve heard of just about all of them, but to be realistic, I grew up with about 21.

It was great growing up with all those old toys... I had a Colecovision thrown in the mix too. And it was work to get porn- you try sneaking in 15 mags that you scored in the dumpster behind your local bookstore when you\'re 12!
