A lot of us older gamers started on this system.

For me it was “Battlezone”. I spent hours shooting little squares at fuzzy rectangles that somewhat resembled tanks and loved every minute of it.

That’s some god damn nostalgia for me right there. I think I may need to get mine out and get infuriated with some Pitfall again.

I loved pitfall, but dang was it rage inducing.

This was the first computer I ever played on, it was at my cousin’s house. I was convinced there was a loop of film in the cartridge but couldn’t figure out how that would work with player interaction.
When my cousin got a screwdriver and opened the cartridge to reveal a couple of black chips on a circuit board, my mind was blown.

I thought that system was the shit back in the day. We only had a handful of games for it including Pengo, Vanguard, and Ms Pac Man…

Yup, I loved mine up until I got my NES in late 1988. I had no clue about the video game crash in 1983, so I didn’t know why games stopped being sold for it.

I still have my 7800, but the RF Modulator is shot to hell and I only have Genesis controllers for it. I don’t dislike emulators, so I haven’t been motivated to do any mods.
Back in the day, my older brother had a Sears Telegames 4-switch and a ColecoVision.

Sorry the Vader doesn't do it for me.
Give me a 6 switch wood grain any day.
