We were an Intellivision family, playing Sea Battle, whenever possible, with my brothers is a fond memory. Before it was trendy I collected video game systems, in college my roommate and I stayed up all hours of the night playing Videocart-09 Drag Race/Drag Strip on the Fairchild Channel F. We were both car guys, and the controller for that particular game was awesome. The system was dated but the concept of the game was spot on. My roommate passed away a few years ago -- I occasionally drag the system out and play and recall how fun it was to waste away hours on that game. As a tween to teen I loved the Commodore 64. Up N' Down, Dr J and Larry Bird Go 1-on-1, and Epyx Summer Games...and then the single player turn games of the early BBS days (Empire)... Great memories, no warning required for this post!!

My dad bought us kids the original Atari 2600, my first game console. I preferred the planes over the tanks. Gen-X all the way. It is customary to reply to a thread such as this.
