Streets of Rage 2 for the Sega Genesis

Hmm, it would either have been Pitfall, Pac-Man, or Freeway for the Atari 2600. Ahh, those were the days.

I’m not positive what my first game was. I think it might have been Asteroids. Asteroids, Space Invaders, Missile Command, and Combat are the ones I remember the first time I played a video game at my friend’s house.




I always loved this artwork on this game box.




Combat, the game that came with your purchase of the Atari 2600.







Ah, back in the days when getting one of these seemed like the most important thing in the world.

It's still pretty important to me

I don't have the 2600 I grew up with, but I do have a heavy sixer \m/

Got a Flashback 2, as well.

I had to look that up to see what you were talking about... Wow, that's dedication. I think there is a X-Box game disc in my house somewhere with about 50 classic Atari games on it. Not as good as the real thing though.

Ascii Star Trek on the Michigan Tech Mainframe.

I'd won two weeks at college engineering camp for first place in my Jr. High science fair, and was immediately entranced by the computers.

I'm surprised to see that some people still have really old consoles. We still have my GBC but it belongs to my sister now.

And Unfortunately I don't have Pokémon Red anymore.

Same, then I went onto Jazz JackRabbit.

No, it never is. Some people may argue that it's better, but if I don't have that joystick in my hand, those carts in the box, that smell of plastic, the woodgrain, that retro texture on the plastic, the instruction manuals...even the software itself doesn't run exactly as it should, and I love having those low-res scanlines on my TV screen. Emulation's just not the same at all. Even the Flashback 2 isn't exactly the same, but having that nice composite video instead of that fuzzy RF is pretty nice

Just sucks that emulation is so much cheaper than collecting...I was hoping that Wii's Virtual Console would drive down prices for physical carts, but it hasn't at all =/

I have most of my old consoles. The 2600 broke and was lost (possibly discarded)...NES and Genesis got sold in a yard sale (What was I thinking??).

I've managed to replace most of what I've lost, though. I think it's costing me more to replace them than what we got for selling them

Pong.

Super Mario Bros.

Alex Kid in Miracle World

Still hardwired into the Sega Master System.

I miss my Master System

The first game I ever played was Sonic 2 on the Sega Genesis. I was pretty bad at it and kept landing on spikes or falling into pits. The first game I ever owned was Pokemon Blue on my red Game Boy, neither of which I own anymore. I still remember my starter, Charmander...*sniff*. I don't own the Genesis either, but I got my own a few years ago, and I have about ten games for it now, including almost all of the Sonic-related games.
Oddly enough, I own Pokemon Red. I can't remember where and when I got it...
