Any old school gamers in the house?

I would put the legs on the front of the machine on my feet and play all day for 10 cents...

I had a pong type machine in the 70's


Sent from my ass using USMessageBoard.com

Pong was amazing...we could control the tv! That was unheard of back then.

LOL yeah. This thing had Pong and also a hockey-type game. I pissed everyone off because I rarely lost.

I was born in 1939. As a child, I played with Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys. The only game I played was “doctor” and I don't think I have to explain that one.

Just of a curiosity - did anybody watch the OP video?

I was old school before the term was invented.

I have (I want to say a ton, but just to be safe, I'll go with ...) pounds of old-school game systems and games themselves — everything from the original Atari 2600 and Atari 5200 and Nintendo Gameboy Advance to game cartridges like Donkey Kong, Centipede, Joust, Pitfall, etc. in storage.

Bet I could make a chunk from those American Pickers guys off the stuff I have, but I can't bring myself to sell them.

Yeah, I watched it. That is impressive. Have you seen this guy?

Okay, that's bizarre.

My nephew has all the systems, tons of games - it's an entire wall of fun. He could make a ton of money, but I'm betting he never sells.

The earliest games I played were on the SNES and Game Boy.

Game boy is about the newest stuff I play.... I think its all crap compared to the actual good stuff in the 80s

Atari 2600 is my favourite 80s console followed by Colecovision (Plus the beautiful 80s arcade games in the early to mid eighties)

 

[Missourian]

I remember walking to the 7/11 to play video games all the time.

Greatest arcade game of all times...

If only I had invested all those quarters I spent on arcade games.................... I would be able to retire now!

He and the finger snapping guy should get together.

My favorites were Wing Commander and Privateer! Space flight combat simulation at its finest!

Never played it...heard a lot of good things about Wing Commander.

Its abandonware, I'm gonna give it a try.
