I will go back even further and date myself seriously......

We were the first ones in the neighborhood with the Atari - with ping pong...the original.

You would have thought we won the lottery!!! Everyone was always at my house after school, trying to play on the "fast" speed and beat each other.

I forget the name but Radio Shack sold them and they used tape decks--we use to play Pong on it all day long!

I think it was a TRS-80----1983 was a long time ago!

edit: I just googled some images and it's showing different results for the same model. If my memory is correct we used a tv monitor, a tape deck and I think the CPU was part of the keyboard.

I loved the Sega Megadrive, Sonic the Hedgehog was mustard.

My first one was called Intellivision. Does ANYONE even know what that is? It had the tennis game on it where a dot went back and forth on the screen and you had two lines on either side of the screen and had to hit the dot.

LOL I've never tried to describe it before....it sounds pretty horrible.
