**Demon-Mask** · 11-10-2009, 05:54 PM

It was a SNES, when the N64 was really big, and I was in the second grade, and the first game was Super Mario World, that was when I got hooked on video games.

**RU Joe** · 11-10-2009, 06:02 PM

and I loved it.
Asteroids, Space Invaders, Pitfall, Combat, Yars Revenge and a couple I remember but not the names.
Pac-Man was a huge let-down though.

They really butchered it.

Most of you people are making me feel old.

Christmas morning, 1982 I opened up what is still one of my all-time favorite systems, the ColecoVision.

Dude I wish I had a Coleco Vision, albeit I still have my uncle's Atari 2600 and my Sega Genesis, man people have offered me thousands for those two but I refuse, it's not the money it's the sentimental value and the fact that my uncle passed away of lung cancer in 2003, if I sell it he's gonna haunt me until I'm dead

**Kong** · 11-10-2009, 10:21 PM

My parents had an Atari 2600 that I first played when I was about 6 - 1984. They had about 20 games so I don't remember the very first one I played. Technically that was never my system. After that I found a Telstar Pong system in the attic and claimed it as my own. My grandparents had an Intellivision with about 20 games. Same deal, I don't remember the first one I played and I didn't really own it. In 1988 I received an SMS for Christmas. The first game I played on it was Safari Hunt and then Hang-On. A week later I got about 5 more games. I remember Ghost House and Ghost Busters was two of them. A couple years later I got a Genesis and the first game on it was Altered Beast.

**Tails** · 11-10-2009, 10:31 PM

No wonder your so sentimental with the SMS Kong. :P

**samejamesbond** · 11-10-2009, 10:43 PM

Is it true the Colecovision has a bad controller?

**CatalystiCam** · 11-10-2009, 10:44 PM

Tenser, my first system that I was allowed to play by my brothers was colecovision... didn't last long, but it's true, and you're like 15 years older than me

Edit: the colecovision controller is bad, my hand actually sweats after I've used it 30-60 minues, I use my right hand to hold under it, and my left for that joystick, the super action controllers are better, don't know if you have any of those...?

**Chuck Norris** · 11-10-2009, 10:45 PM

Tenser you're not old

I was gonna say the same thing.

I don't remember the first system I played, it was either Atari or Colecovision. The first system I really got into was NES, hard to forget that epic system.

It was far better than the Atari controller. The stick was designed to mimic a cabinet's.

What fool would offer that much money for a 2600 and Gen?

**OldTimer** · 11-11-2009, 08:10 AM

@ tenser Old enough to be grumpy with no reason

I remember the colecovison, playing a game with 2 planes trying to shoot each other.

My first system was the atari and the game kaboom. I think I was 5. When I woke up at night I could bust my dad playing it. Another game was 4 fortresses in the corners and playing a pong like match. These games were awesome with the paddle.

**simgeezy33** · 11-11-2009, 09:03 AM

My favorite game was Super Mario Bros. back in 1985 christmas morning

**CatalystiCam** · 11-11-2009, 10:14 AM

Tenser was so lucky too, his aunt gave him like every colecovision game... did you get any super action controllers tenser?

**joz** · 11-11-2009, 10:21 AM

first game I played was Donkey Kong Jr. on arcade. I would play it at the local flea market every weekend when my grandma would take me to sell soda pop to people walking around. My pay was 2 to 4 bucks in quarters and I would play like there was no tomorrow!

First system was the Atari with Pac-Man and Joust
