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.

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.

I had the old Atari, the first NES, and the old Commodore 64. Was addicted to:
  • Atari: Space Invaders and Adventure
  • NES: Legend of Zelda and Metroid
  • Commodore: Pirates, The Bard's Tale Series, and the first Pool of Radiance
And yes, I programmed all the time in BASIC. Actually whipped up a few text adventure games (my first computer was the TI99 4A... ).

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*
