An NES and a Genesis my parents picked up from some store. I've played on an Atari (the 7600, I believe), but it wasn't my first.

Does anyone remember this:

:happy:

I remember owning several of those electronic games before my first computer. They're about the size of a cigarette pack, though flatter, and are essentially just one game, hard coded. The static "graphics" are drawn on the screen, and the moving bits were all composed of black pixels. This particular game was my favorite. ^_^

I didn't own a Game & Watch but I did play a few back then. Those things sell for a fortune now. I've seen scraps of it, like a button, sell for $25 alone. By all accounts I've read few of them were made.

I never have played a game and watch but I always assumed they were the same thing as those crappy Tiger electronic games that I had as a kid in the late 80's and early 90's.

First computer was an Amstrad cpc464, in 1984, with internal cassette tape deck! -.-

Got later an Amiga 500, and then moved on to PC's. Never was much into consoles, though I had a Playstation and a Sega Dreamcast (loved Resident Evil: Code Veronica on this one, was the reason i got the dreamcast...).

Man I wish I'd held on to those... I'm pretty sure they got lost during a move or something. :crying:

My first computer was a Tandy. I don't remember the model now but I used it to play Black Cauldron, Thexter, Paper Boy, and Oregon Trail.
My first console was the SNES. (Edit: Oops I lied.  I just remembered I had an Atari!)

Oh. My. God. I forgot we owned a Tandy! I guess that counts as my first computer too then, crappy as ours was. That brings back so many memories I hadn't thought about in years. Possibly decades.



@Swordfishtrombone - Happens to all of us. :/ I've lost my share of stuff that way. Not I preserved most of my toys in salable condition.

But they were so cool at the time though, remember!  Oh, how naive we were.  If only we had known what was to come.  Posted Image

LOL  I honestly don't remember.  It was so long ago now.  I do remember that it was more of a tan color though and not white.

We also had a TSR-80 (my brother's), and my first paycheck from my first job bought a Turbografx 16.

My first actual PC computer was a Packard Bell 286, and that was only because we couldn't get Sears to give us a replacement on our busted C-64 (as they weren't made anymore.)

The best portable system during the early 90's though was the Turbo
Express. It was basically a portable turbo graphix-16. I owned one.


I never did get around to buying one (I wanted to) but a friend had one.  And, yes, it was (IMO) the best handheld until the GBA.

I can't remember what model our Tandy was either. Hell, until Steel Moon's post I forgot we ever had a Tandy.

One thing i liked about the older systems is how physically tough they were. The atari 2600 for example, built like a tank :)

And the C-64's were cheap for their time. When PC's were going for $1000 and Apple's were going for $1000, a C-64 was like $150.
