I feel like a kid again.

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!

I have the Atari E.T. game. Although I don't think it should be at the very top, I do think it did get too much of a bum rap though. It's not a bad game, but I do admit falling down those pits were a pain in the butt though. Barnstormer was fun along with Chopper Command.
