My parents were big fans of the 2600, they had a stack of awesome games. I think the first one I played was Missile Command. I remember a lot of the sound effects the games would make scared me. ;_; Especially Berzerk, whenever you hit the wall it made this horrible BZZZZZFFFTT noise, then a bouncing smiley face would pop up and chase you around. Smiley faces aren't supposed to be dangerous! I was about four or something. Very traumatic childhood.

It wasn't till this new family moved in down the street and I played their Master System that I got really got into games though. Zillion, Dragon Crystal, Teddy Boy, Hang-On, Enduro Racer, Wonderboy. Holy crap awesome. After that, I wanted one. I ended up getting a NES that Christmas, but it worked out well because we were always over eachothers places. ADDICTION GO.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Those things were great, they could basically call it any sport they wanted but it'd still be the one game. Pong.

"Hockey!"
*Pong*

"Soccer!"
*Pong*

"Baseball!"
*Pong*

"Wait that isn't baseball why are you trying to pass that off as base-*PONG*

There's nowhere I can't reach.
