OK, I just dated myself, now it's your turn.
post pics of your first game console and your favorite game.

MY first one was a NES, but we always had a Commodore 64 laying around that was never used, as well as Atari.

After the odyssey got old, we got the atari 2600 (ours had the wood trim too)

Came with Pac-Man (which sucked bad!!)

The game I liked the best on this system would have to be
PitFall


My parents still have both systems sitting in the garage in the original boxes.

no one had a 3DO? i did, it was awesome at the time...paid $500 for it when it came out

I sorta remember that, it had some pretty good games at the time didn't it?

Nintendo. Super mario brothers.

I had an old Atari (forget what model number) and an Atari computer. Now THAT was old. That computer had my favorite game, Keystone Cop. Man that's old.

I had keystone coppers too

I had a colecovision (pong) and an atari 400, which ran at 1.65MHz and had 16KB of RAM. I had a Timex Sinclair 1000 with 2KB of RAM, and a couple of frankensteined Atari 130XEs with 320KB of RAM, and upgraded 16bit 68816 CPU, an MIO box and adaptec offboard controllers with 320MB of HDD space for the BBS I ran, and some other toys.
I think my absolute first computer though, was a teletype from the pentagon in 1976, which had a wide carriage printer for a display, and played hangman over a coupler-modem )110bps) dialed into a server in Colorado.
Now that's old school. :)

...ok, you win...


The slowest modem I ever owned was a 9600 bps
