Atariboy2600 Posted September 9 Author Share Posted September 9 In 1976 at age 4 I got my very FIRST video game ever The Atari Super Pong. my mother gave it to me and my uncle hook it up on our old RCA Black & White TV set and it was something that I had never seen before in my life that you can use a TV set other then just witching it! And yes this system still works. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more impressive is your artwork. Quite a bit of your artwork graces my homebrew collection. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy2600 Posted September 9 Author Share Posted September 9 For me the Atari shutting down the 7800 early life was criminal as they had a power house console and had not sold it fully until late 80s when the NES became king of the gaming world. But for me I love the 7800 and thank god for modders, homebrew and arcade ports keeping this system alive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy2600 Posted September 9 Author Share Posted September 9 Later one did get the Touch Me handheld and find it funny that even most see it as a Simon ripoff Touch Me was an old Atari arcade years before Simon was out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy2600 Posted September 9 Author Share Posted September 9 WHY THE HELL did it had to be the Atari Jaguar 64 that was launch on Nov 23rd, 1993 ON MY BIRTHDAY of all days. But it was Atari and the main reason I wanted THE JAG was Tiny Toon Adventures for the Atari Jaguar sadly it never was released. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy2600 Posted September 9 Author Share Posted September 9 After getting the Jaguar in 93 I had to wait an other 2 years for the infamous add on the Jaguar CD and welp it died in under a year with only 13 games came out. on the last days I saw the Jag CD on clearance for $20 bucks and NO BODY grab it. Fast forward to today and this unit now command in the range of $1000 to in some case $2000 dollars for two reasons one they only made under 20,000 units were sold worldwide, not the US only I mean WORLDWIDE and second these units tend to brake down even when you look at it funny and there's almost no way of repeating them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insertclevernamehere Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Wow. The stuff you had even by the age of 10 is staggering. I think I would've been in less shock and awe if I'd just been carpet bombed by the USAF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
