I am almost as old as the home video game industry, as I was born in 1978. My first system that I got was the Atari 2600, which I got in Kindergarten. Had several games like Ms. Pacman, Spiderman, Missle Command, Keystone Capers, and the dreaded E.T. It lasted for several years until the year before NES came out. I got the NES during the 3rd grade that Christmas and it still is one of my favorite systems of all time. I am 32 now and I still have my NES(and it still works!!). I have been a collector of old Nintendo titles and if you look at my profile collection, you will see I have over 200 NES titles. When I got it, I was given the deluxe edition which came with 2 controllers, light zapper, R.O.B. the robot buddy, and 2 games, Duck Hunt and Gyromite. My uncle gave me two other games for that Christmas: Popye and Baseball. I did not get Super Mario Bros until my birthday next year. Now I own 2 Atari 2600, 1 Atari 5200, 3 NES, Super NES., N64, Genesis, Gamecube, Playstation, PS2, Gameboy, GBA, TG16, XBOX, XBOX 360, PSP and one arcade upright Pole Position.
