I have fond memories of my Atari 2600 console...

...but in retrospect, the games really sucked.

Well, yeah. But it was the Eighties...

As a kid, I thought the Lone Ranger was great TV until I watched it again.

I still have a Commodore SX64 "portable" stashed away in a closet. 5" color screen, 170kb 5.25" floppy drive, 64kb ram. Those were the days.

I have 2 working Atari 2600 consoles and a stack of games. All still work. And no they are not for sale.

Also my wife has the original star war figure collection still in the box and in the original wrapper.

i'm a huge gamer but atari was a console that I never could get in to. I do like commodore 64 though.

I have an old Panasonic 3D0 console that I dust off and play occasionally, as well as Doom, Wolfenstein, and Duke Nukem on an external HD that I can't play because they won't load properly in WINE

Waiting patiently for some bored Gen-Xer to code an old skool FPS for the Linux Ubuntu OS.

I'm gonna get labeled as old school by the younger guys here, but GALAGA is still my game of choice

I still have my 2600. It also still works.

There is one game I have yet to beat too, and it's appropriately named "Impossible Mission"
