Yeah..I remember having that. I remember having the Odyssey before that.

[peggygee]

I had a Commodore VIC 20, and a 64,
but not a Atari 2600.

:cry:

[rockabilly]

Yup my first console , w/ the faux wood it blended in w/ our entertainment system. Loved Combat. :)

[raybbaby]

yep, I had to have one. So funny now. The Atari games sucked though. Remember all the cool Activision cartridges? I had Enduro, River Raid, and Pitfall.

It's an old avatar..too lazy to update it. It's Till Lindemann from the German band- Rammstein.

You didn't mean the comedian Gallagher, did you..? lol

[rockabilly]

I think he meant Liam.

I Still Have One, With About 40 Games, Carrying Case, & Leather Cover, All Mint Condition ..

Was one of the coolest birthday presents ( or presentations ) I got. My dad said my present was the size of a wallet. So I got it thinking...what the heck is this? You know...as a kid you probably thought something that size was lame.

I opened it up and it was the Space Invaders cartridge! I flipped. Played that for ages. I was in luck too. The video store across the street had the foresight to rent Atari games. I played Spiderman and Keystone Kapers (still one of my favorites).

As for games I owned, Frogger, ET, Popeye, Atari Circus (although I didn't know you needed paddles for that) and a bunch of others I can't remember.

On a side note, a website that I visit regularly, called Gizmodo is having a retrospective on the late 70s / early 80s this week http://www.gizmodo.com.....seeing as though that was when most things went from analog to digital.

[JerseyMike]

lol, i was watching the angryvideogame nerd's atari 2600 review and did they have some f**ked up games, custard's revenge was a game where you raped some poor indian woman and beat em and eat em was some ridiculous game where you had to catch jizz standing below a building, who the hell came up with that stuff.

My home video games started with NES...but I do remember when they re-released the 2600 in a smaller package. Now you can even get ten of those games inside just one joystick!

[xxxian]

I had all the activision games. Pitfall and Enduro were favorites. I also had Phoenix and Vanguard and a bunch of others. I have not had a console since then!

I totally forgot about space Invaders! I loved that game. It was the first game i remember having a "cheat" where you could hold down one of the switches (reset maybe?) when you started the game and it allowed you two shoot more than one missile at a time.
