A friend of mine has a site called www.consoleclassix.com that has alot of the old games. Personally, I prefer newer games these days but I've owned most of the gaming consoles from the original Pong system on up.

Pong, Space Invaders and Pitfall Harry! ... if I recalled correctly.

Never had an Atari myself, but a friend of mine used to have one. I remember us playing Tarzan (which was incredibly dull, but the only fun game he had). We had a Commodore 64 up to one point, and all we would play was either "Cliff Diver" or "Wonder Boy". I did demolish a couple of joysticks in my premature excitement playing Wonder Boy.

Oh Wonderboy... :D
All the quarters I spent on that infernal game in the arcades here... could probably buy a house for that now... [img]smile.gif[/img]

That explains a lot Johnboy [img]graemlins/troutslap.gif[/img] :D

Sinclair spectrum .....who else remembers trying to write programmes in BASIC :rolleyes:

I still have a working Atari as well as a pile of games jammed into a cupboard somewhere... damn I have to get it out again sometime [img]smile.gif[/img] I am feeling all nostelgic

I had the old Atari, the first NES, and the old Commodore 64. Was addicted to:
</font>

• Atari: Space Invaders and Adventure</font>
• NES: Legend of Zelda and Metroid</font>
• Commodore: Pirates, The Bard's Tale Series, and the first Pool of Radiance</font>

And yes, I programmed all the time in BASIC. Actually whipped up a few text adventure games (my first computer was the TI99 4A... :D ).

I grew up playing a 2600 :D

Me too. I had (used to anyway) games like Superman, Defender, Pac Man, Combat, Space Invaders and Kaboom.

I loved my 2600. I especially remember CircusAtari (the balloons), Pac-Man, and Pitfall (like Maelakin). I also remember my parents' comment that these things were for kids, and that adults could simply not compete. ;)

Anywho, no C64 or Amiga for me, no Coleco either, though I played on a friend's regularly.

Atari of course gave way to the NES, which was truly amazing at the time. I still remember long hours whiling away at Metroid, Zelda, and many other games. *sigh*
