Well, in mid-'86, my mom won $40 on a scratch ticket and decided to splurge about a quarter of it on a post-crash Atari 2600 with a few games - Asteroids, Missile Command, and ET.
Yes, that ET. I really enjoyed it, actually.
As it turns out though, extended play on the 2600 (and on the Commodore 64, which had a similar joystick) made it really difficult to adjust to a Nintendo controller a year later. I mean, no stick and an insane amount of buttons? Who designed that, right? Needless to say, the very first time I played Super Mario, I ran directly into the very first goomba.
How ya doing, buddy?
DAMN good coffee!
