commodore 64  :signLOL: same deal with loading a game for half an hour on the tape player for it to fail  :fighting:

Or typing in code for hours to make a dodgey looking sprite bounce around the screen  :grin:

Mega drive I and II, playstation one and two, an old pong game with almost a wood dash kind of trim on the front  :signLOL:, and my current a PS3  :drinking:

Still have a ZX81, works too!

Atari 2600(?) was a great console, but the best game ever is Super Mario Kart.

I had N64, dreamcast, ps2 and now 360.  The dreamcast was ahead of its time.  massively underrated better marketing would have shifted the console by the shipload!

I had the Atari 2600 with the wooden effect casing. Remember Pole Position being the first game I played were a car consisted of a grey rectangle with a white rectangle above it and 2 black squares for wheels either side. Things have changed a bit since then..

On an entirely different note my Dad used to work for a company that supplied video games machines, juke boxes, fruit machines and pool tables to pubs and clubs in the late 70's and early 80's.

Quite often I would have a table top version of Galaxians or Pacman or even a small cabinet version of Battlezone at home in the garage. Some days during the summer hols I would go to work with him and he would just leave me in the workshop or in one of their demo suites for the day.  :pomppomp:

Those were the days.  :sad1:

Loved the Atari with Asteriods. Still a blindingly addictive game now some 30 years later. Then had the Megadrive (for Sonic) with the 32X add on (for motor racing, not sure which game). Remember the 32x add on being £160 and at the time that was a HUGE amount of money for the thing. Remember the games being about £40 way back when!!!
Happy times.

still got my Mega Drive and the Michael Jackson game - wonder how much that's worth now... might go look it up.

edit: not much apparently  :laugh:

had a NES and SNES, but gave them to my cousins in India a long time ago - wonder if there's any hope of getting them back (assuming ofc that they still have them)
