I'm another that never got into video games. My lack of any talent for sports seems to have spilled over. We had a 2600; the only things I remember playing were Barnstormer and E.T. I always felt sad when I'd kill the little guy, always getting him stuck in a pit, or something. When Nintendo came along my sisters played it constantly; the only time I ever used it was to have a source of good video while fixing up an old TV!

About 2 years ago I loaned a bunch of stuff to a local museums display about the 60s/70s. When I went to pick them up at the end of the exhibit they gave me a small Radio Shlock console that does Pong and a few other similiar games. Neat to demonstrate with 70s tv sets, but too frustrating for me to play-I'm not even good at Pong!
