  4. Atari. I used to work for Atari back in its heyday (showing my age here). Stressful place to work!

  5. Atari 5200- the supposed great "next generation" of the 2600, but it only had maybe 1/4 the games.

    The Nintendo Entertainment System from 1985. A whopping 8 bit system which BTW I still own and is fully functional.

  16. My younger brother go an Atari Pong game for Christmas a million years ago. I was never into video games.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I still have: Atari 2600, original Nintendo, Gameboy, Sega Genesis, several X Boxes, and Game Genies for the Nintendo, Gameboy, and Sega.

    Pong was the first, I think.

  19. Colicovision, way better controllers than the Atari 2600. Your hand didn't hurt from wrestling the stiff joystick mounted to an overlarge base.

  24. Intellivision, released in late 70s

  25. Does a handheld Pac Man game count?

    ReplyDelete
  26. RCA Studio II. My dad sold a lot of RCA tvs at his furniture store in the mid 70s. So a RCA rep gave him a preview unit of the Studio II. Monochrome graphics (only white and grey), no joysticks just two keypads connected to the unit itself (no cords) and only 7 carts produced. Total crap.

    Since then I've owned a
    2600 Atari, Colecovision, TI-99/4a (no games), C64, Vetrex, NES, SMS, TG16, Genesis, SNES, Atari Jaguar, Atari Lynx, PS1, Saturn, PS2, GBA, N64, Xbox, XBox 360, PS3, Dreamcast, Xbox one and PS4.

    And thanks to emulation, I can play them all again. Seriously, check out ArcadePunks.com, it'll be fun.

  27. Just spent an hour looking for it online. Knew it wasn’t Atari or Grandstand but eventually found it. Polycon C4010 In Caramac beige, 20 games including Gridiron, I was 6 and had no idea gridiron was American Football. 1978 and I was 6. My son was 4 when he had a PS3 and 8 when he had a PS4. The spoilt little brat.

  30. "Yo mama"

    Well, I feel sorry for you as my mom is a prude. Lol


    Btw the answer is Pong. No wonder I listened to New Beat in the late 80s.

  31. My first was called intelevision. Was out at the same time as Atari. I preferred it to Atari.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Atari. I was always so jealous of those kids who had Colecovision!

    ReplyDelete
  33. None. Our kids had a Gameboy that they shared, we were mean parents.

  34. Remember playing Pong in the middle '70s. Video games make me nervous, so don't play them.

    ReplyDelete
  35. When my friend got Pong, I thought my mind would explode. I got Atari a Christmas or two later. Space Invaders, Pac Man & Ms, Asteroids, Pitfall, Donkey Kong, Popeye! I was obsessed with Q-Bert, to the point of calling around on the rotary phone trying to price official arcade models. The parents put a big no on that plan!

  36. NES was my first, I still own my Start 2600 with over 100 games. I have a Sega Genesis, a SNES, a Nintendo Switch, and. PlayStation 4. I love video games. They're better than 90% of the tripe they put out these days. Just look to Naughty Dog video games, anything Hideo Kojima puts out. I don't like sports games and I hate EA games, they have ripped off their fans more than once and just laughed about it. The worst part is that EA owns the Star Wars publishing rights. They canned an open world Star Wars game and put out more garbage. I would love some video game blinds

  37. Atari 2600 not start, I got excited.

  38. Commode 64 - was only used for games.

    ReplyDelete
  39. All X-- Commode, lol!!! I could write a sentence on constant loop and change font colors. Pretty much the extent of my coding skills.
