Yeah! Our 2nd console after the Atari 2600. Spent HOURS playing the original Legend of Zelda. I think it was sold in a garage sale a LONG time ago....

I really want an Asteroids game, the freestanding, pay to play version. Years ago, my housemates and I bought one. I became quite an expert. I SUCK at the new games Fly, shoot and run is more my speed. I need to keep an eye on eBay or post a wanted ad in our local paper.

I wish we hadn't given my NES to my cousins for Christmas when I got a Playstation (Playstation 1s are pretty retro now too... too bad I traded that in for an N64... I still love that console).

I never had a SNES either.

Adventure was my favorite.




The three dragons that looked like mutated ducks were awesome.

Ah, the Commodore 64. We had one when I was a kid. I remember a game called Zaxxon. . .

Oh, and this is for TBers who were in elementary school in the 80's:
