I think I got the Atari 2600 in 1985. 21 years. Longer than most of you have been alive.

 I think I got you beat, although your post is like a year old, I got 22 years of playing, except I started playing on pinball games with some help of course.  Oh and props on the Einstien quote.

When the NES first came out I got on for christmas, and Mike Tyson's Punch Out was the game that hooked me, but the game that really hooked me on actually buying more instead of just waiting around for another holiday/ birthday was Mario Kart for the SNES.

[QUOTE="--Straighter--"]I thought the N64 was better than the gamecubelebanese_boy

No it was actually the worst console for Nintendo if you count the virtual boy out, even if it had Perfect Dark, Goldeneye and the megahit that is Ocarina Of Time. 

How could you say that, the cube was far worse then the 64, come on it was almost a bit a flop as the Dreamcast.  The cube has virtually no games besides the bad rip offs from classic titles like Zeldas, and Marios.  The system as a whole was designed towards females, its purple for god sakes, P.U.R.P.L.E.  the controls are small, most of the games were lame, it's a disc system but yet it couldn't play even a music cd, not say that is a must for a game system but what's the point of having discs if you not using the market of regular size discs.  Oh that's so you can't boot leg the games, hmmm, sound like the only thing the cube was designed for was to make a crap load of money off the Nintendo consumer using the good name.  The cube is no more then a suped up pinto with a Mercedes Benz logo on it.

When you get the N64 though, don't forget to buy all the games suggested, along with PAPER MARIO. I'm surprised nobody suggested it yet. :Pihateelvis
