This amuses me, since I've seen the same tendency here and there.

My first system was actually an Atari 400 with a cassette tape drive and 8k of memory. I expanded it to 16k. Now thats power! :D Also learned to program on an apple IIe

The first system I ever owned was the Atari. First game I ever played was The Goonies and Centipede for Atari. The first game I ever bought was Pac Man for Game Boy. But what honestly got me into hardcore gaming was the NES and SNES.

Aw I remember the good old C64 days, waiting up to 15 minutes for games to load and then struggling to figure out the controls between the keyboard and joystick you got. Good times, good times. Heck I even remember playing Ghostbusters on the C64 and just enjoying around the city lol.

I also remember the Atrai days, I'd always try to get games cheap cause you could never tell what game was good and what was bad. Always a gamble back in the day to get a new game that no one knew anything about.

I remember fighting in school about which console was better, NES or Genesis, and then it became SNES and Genesis. I remember the first time I picked up Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt and was floored by how well it played. I remember cranking through Doom and thinking gaming couldn't possibly get any better than this. I remember trying to get through the text version Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on the old DOS system and thinking that it was so cool to type in what I wanted to do and then have it done (never made it past the poetry section ~_~).

Yes I've been gaming for a long time now, and I still love the older consoles. Right now on my TV stand, along side my 52" Sharp Aquos I've got my 360, Wii, PS2, Dreamcast, Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo, NES, Sega Genesis, and my Xbox and PS1 are on top my book self right beside the TV as well as my old Gameboy color, Gameboy Advance, and DS (the original badboy). I'm a proud gamer and a collecter of games.

I wax only my nipples ... im super old scho..... oh in games.... hmm well i play my sega megarive every weekend so i guess so

Nintendo Entertainment System.

I've been known to play my Intellivision from time to time. You gotta love Lock n Chase (Pacman clone)
