Oldschool gamers

I'm still waiting for Nintendo to re-release an updated version of Mario All-Stars to include not only the NES and SNES but he N64 Mario game.

My first video game system was an Atari 2600.  I think it was a later model, though (1986?).  My brother and I were excited as can be, and we each got to pick a game.  He got Pole Position and I got Centipede.  I miss my Atari.

After that I think it went NES, Gameboy, Genesis, SNES, Playstation, N64, Dreamcast (never given a fair chance), and PS2 (during this we constantly traded in and re-purchases SNES, Genesis, PS1, N64).   I don't play too many games these days, maybe some Super Nintendo, or I play various ROMs on my PC (God Bless Neo Geo--Metal Slug games are brilliant).

Anyone ever get a Virtual Boy?

Anyone remember Vectrex or going back to pre Atari 2600 days, The Channel F (Fairchild) game system?

Damn. I wish I lived back in the old days. Those must have been super awesome. But sadly, I was born in 1991 right after all the cool years happened. But, my first game console was, NES, with those rectangle controllers. And I had mainly Duck Hunt, with the gun, and Mario of course, and the game with the bubble creatures, i forget what it was called. And other things. Then I got Sega Genesis, then PS1, then PS2, now I am trying to get an Atari, since i absolutely love Atari (Centidpede is my favorite, along with Asteroids.), and also a NES since i dont think i still have my old one. I had the first gameboy, the big clunky black one, that i think was my dads but i also played it, then *upgraded* to normal gameboy, then the miraculous gameboy color! omg, color! But thats about it. I really need to get Atari and NES soon though, gotta play with my friends!

Was the Vectrex the system that was all vector graphics?

I would still have to say that my favorite system of all time is still the SNES.

I was a loyal Sega fanatic until Contra 3: The Alien Wars came out on the SNES.

That was the game that single handedly made me want a SNES.

I'm a huge fan of old school shooters, and this site dedicated to shoot-em-ups is really good.

Anyone else remember a game called Ninja Golf that was released for the Atari 7800?  Absolutely one of the strangest games ever to be released and one that is screaming for a remake on the PS3!!!!!!!!!

I was telling a co-worker about this game the other day and they said I was making it up.  I wasn't near a computer so I couldn't pull up proof that point.

Woah, I totally got an Atari system yesterday. The old school system (with the brown panel in front, and the rest black), came with two joystick controllers, and the connecters to the TV and the outlet, and a box of a few hundred game cartridges. (Pretty much all I need now is Pong, since they didnt have it, and some atari paddle controllers). I'm so excited, i got is all for like, 50$. I've got to play with my friends soon, its so fun. Now my next goal is to get NES and games for it.

I've got an emulator disc for my Sega Dreamcast that has almost every single NES game on one disc.  Pretty cool, and they all play perfectly without any slowdown or sound missing.

I was playing Ninja Gaiden 2 last night as a matter of fact on it.

I've also got a SNES emulator for my Sega Dreamcast that has something like 400 games on one disc.
