is Spencer Gifts still a thing? I haven’t gone to the mall in probably 10+ years, but I always enjoyed their gag gifts.

Also, the Superman game for Atari had a glitch in it, where you could beat the entire game in under 5 minutes.
For those who want to know:
Summary
- Step 1: Enter the phone booth as Superman (moving left) to become Clark Kent
- Step 2: Go right and enter The Daily Planet and listen to the conversation, explaining that you are intended to go through a bunch of screens to the right, collect damaged bridge pieces, repair the bridge, and fight Lex Luthor.
- Step 3: After conversation, leave The Daily Planet
- Step 4: enter the phone booth to become Superman again
- Step 5: Slowly, pixel by pixel to the right, move out the phone booth, until Superman is overlapping part of the phone booth. At this point, you can walk past the phone booth to the left
- Step 6: Exit to the left, where Lex Luthor is waiting on the next screen, with the destroyed bridge to his left
- Step 7: Defeat Lex

fun fact. Atari didn’t credit game designers in the early days so some quit and formed a little start up game company called Activision

YOu know you are getting old when you get as excited about getting a pair of Skechers as you did at getting a pair of Air Jordans in your 20s.
You know you are old if this was your first gaming consol

Spencer’s is still around as noted by Wikipedia. my last visit to one in 2015 had the same old Lava Lamps, Plasma balls, T-shirts, and no one to stop young ones from checking out the merchandise in the adult oriented aisle
