Now that's the schizz Deano :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

lol Leaky - my Nan & Grandad got one of them Binatone tennis pong games to keep me & me sis amused in the late 70's & then they traded up for an Atari :cool: :D

Pacman, Space Invaders, Pitfall & this game I remember best...

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koWxUd30hDo]YouTube - Raiders Of The Lost Ark (Atari 2600) (Beat Home Vid Games 2)[/ame]

^^^ that was the hardest most confusing & yet addictive game ever - there was no internet back then, the game booklet gave you hardly any detail & you had to figure it all out on your own... which required some massive tangent thinking... :fekked:

PS I've heard Michael J Fox still has his etch-a-sketch...

Shooms.....no..no..no..no there was so much more to the Atari

The Atari was my first video game and lucky for me my mum loved it so bought loads of games. Still got them to this day and should dig it out at some point. Being a bit of a spoilt kid I was the first at my primary school to get one too.

Air Sea Battle....top class
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibFejsipSC8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibFejsipSC8[/ame]
Breakout....very addictive
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzXp9MQknDQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzXp9MQknDQ[/ame]
Casino...what more can be said!! absolute classic
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhO2FRiNChw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhO2FRiNChw[/ame]
Combat...kids driving tanks...top class
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m86ftny1uY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m86ftny1uY[/ame]
Outlaw...classic
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vq67jB9Yios"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vq67jB9Yios[/ame]
Slot Racers...amazing
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyO_G8OBu9w"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyO_G8OBu9w[/ame]
Street Racer...driving and shooting!! etc etc Had about 20 games in total.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuSqfWfMCyc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuSqfWfMCyc[/ame]
Night Driver first driver eye game I can recall
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH7iMzEHOxg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH7iMzEHOxg[/ame]

My brother also used to have loads of the LCD games inc Mario, DK, Pacman etc.Loads of lost days on those too.

My favourite of all time though is the SNES and Mario Kart, simply cant be beaten and had to buy a SNES last year just to have a go on it again...did not disapoint.
