Haha, I can't wait for the day when millennials get beaten by their boomer dads at VR games. That will be an epic showdown. But yes, gaming technology has come a long way since the Atari days, you gotta keep up with it! Anyways, kudos to you for being able to show your son who's boss in the gaming world. And thanks for sharing a picture of that tiny arcade machine! #grownostr

1. Space Invaders all the way

For me it was intelivision.

I still remember we had the TV in the same my mother and I would bother sleep in. I would stay up late, put a blanket over me and the TV to help block the light and play late after she fell asleep…. good times with Mario.

I started with 2 NES but I play much more on the Gameboy and SNES. Me and my brother used to swap levels I would play one then he would play the next.

We got a ColecoVision set in probably 1983 after my mom got the tip of her finger cut off at a work accident and that was her "settlement"

It's the only game console we ever owned. Had way better games than Atari.

My leftie buddy would play with left hand on the stick and button in the top right.

I know I used 1, but definitely remember 2 more

Odyssey.

1, and then various versions of it before I ever had a console.

When I think joystick I still think of this as the gold standard - Microsoft Sidewinder

Technically 3 and 4. But 6 and 9 were the first I owned. Actually they were the only ones I owned

1 and then most of the others over the years.

I think I may have started with this

PS/2 keyboard

6

5

1!

#1. Though we did have pong before that.

Plus...

7 I personally started on the original PlayStation as far as console go, but my first video games were on the GameBoy Color

#1. Rented #2 at times, now play games with a keyboard/mouse on the PC. #17 for some games on PC, but keyboard/mouse is so much better.

1. But it wasn't that great till 2 came along.

Started on 2, and everything's been downhill since 13.

2 for me. I still remember the "access any level" cheat code for the teenage mutant ninja turtles game on NES, somehow. B-A-B-A up down B-A left right B-A start

1 for me. Pitfall was my favorite

1 but my favorite is missing. Intelivision was ahead of its time

#1, pong. Circa ‘75-76. Didn’t play much dedicated game console after that original atari. Moved more to commodore 64 and other pc based games after that when they came out

Ha! Started with #5, finished around #9. No, actually, started with #2 at friend’s place. My mom still has my old SEGA and games in her closet. 😂
