Not really consoles, but there was an Atari 800, a 800XL, and a 130XE in my house with 100's of games. The SMS was my first real console.

If those pong varients count then that was mine too (made in 1977 i think) it was called TELE-SPORTS and it had four built in games: Tennis, football, 1player squash and 2 player squash. it had a dial on the front to change the games.

I still have mine and it still works

Then I got an acorn electron then a SEGA MEGADRIVE

Sega Master System II which I won, with Alex Kidd in Miracle World built in... still one of the greatest games ever, in my opinion...

First System: Commodore 16/+4 (not 64)

First Console: Nes with Super Mario Bros

Pong.

The yellow battery-operated one that had the batteries in one of the paddles.

Six months later I modified it to run off a wall outlet..

After that... Odyssey?. Still have it in the original box in a closet somewhere.

In the golden age of the NES, I put down $50 for a brand new Atari 2600 with tons of game cartriges shrink-wrapped to the back of the box.

A NES dropped by at one point, soon to be followed by a Genesis, then a SNES, neither of which I actually bought any games for, other than the standard mario/sonic fare, or an arcade fighter/shooter. Only years later did I actually start buying games for them out of bargain bins..

Then a Dreamcast.

And I mainly end up playing games from the previous systems on it...

That's it.

Oddysey2, Atari 2600, and Atari 7800 .... they were in the living room before i was born ... and i enjoyed HOURS of playing with them =p

When i was 4/5 i got an NES with Mario/DuckHunt and Battle of Olympus (great game)

I got the NES pack with 2 controllers, Duck Hunt, the Zapper, Gyromite and R.O.B.

I'm probably like, one of only a couple of hundred worldwide who ever did too (hence many of you probably going "wtf is a R.O.B.?"

Hawq · Post by **Hawq** » Sat Aug 10, 2002 9:08 am

I think those R.O.B.'s go for decent sums these days, I recall reading that somewhere. It's probably due to the fact that not many survived kids or spring cleanouts, there could be a landfill full of them somewhere. Dont think it couldn't happen people, remeber E.T.

damn, thats the one, tele-sport

guess there wasnt as many games as i remembered, but then i was 0-6 when we had it so i mostly played with the switches

consoles need to bring back those switches, if only so another generation of babies can play with them
