Who remembers that old black & white tv in that unheated spare bedroom. It was the only place where the parents would let you play Atari. Lets not forget that old butter knife we had to use as a screw driver to hook the system up to the tv.

i still use a butter knife to hook up my 2600. doenst feel right with an actual screwdriver

(dsyleixa)

I recall having to prop up the joysticks in the back of the atari with other game cartridges to get them to work... and the rubber fell off of them too...

mgs:snake eater not so good, I know.

green addiction

nice job !

Nostalgia

I remember getting so excited about those little shareware 3.5's that you could buy for like 3 bucks.

did doom really fit on one disk?!? no way! way? --- or is this a picture of the boot disk? im confused!

If I remember correctly, Doom came on four disks, and DoomII came on seven.

just a pee pod strolling down the shady grove of a lane, when he see a simple star, floating down to kiss him on the cheek, then he realizes that hes dreaming, and wakes up to find him self with a pistol in his hand, and locked in a cell. what a strange ending for the small shoe.

i've played this game before . . .

Fantasy Zone?

This is the third in the Zippo the Clown series of games. In this one, Zippo arranges his victims' organs into imaginary continents.

Pac-Man

I find Link's hat such a pain to draw. ><

Tee hee. Link looks super-surly. Maybe he ran out of nuts again.

it was the first game that allowed to choose what to do next, wasnt it? i love the sense of nonlinear gameplay since that one !!!

super smash brothers malie!!

magic houre

played today

weltris?

curveball

The level that had dancing palm trees. (I think)

Super Mario 3 was one of my all-time faves...

yeah, but what was up with that gay ass racoon suit he used to wear? he even flutter around like a fairy and shit. man those creators were on some goooood acid!

rofl

It was a tanuki suit, not a raccoon. I think the english translators just messed that up. A tanuki is a Japanese animal that, according to folk legend, drinks lots of sake and can turn to stone. The developers weren't stoned, they're just Japanese. :)

I was under the impression that the designers were extremly stoned.

oh man, what was that called?

i have a picture of myself with a broken arm in an arm cast, sitting in front of a television screen with some obscene high score on kaboom - i used to subscribe to the activision newsletter, and they had a high score hall of fame thingy on there. the high score for kaboom was so weak, i beat it easily by 10 times or so and got in the newsletter! they promised to send me a kaboom patch and an activision jacket, and they never did. i am still upset.

I remember seeing ads for those high score patches. Even as a little kid I was pretty sceptical about whether you'd actually recieve one. 20 years later I now know the truth!

is that atlantis?

Thrust!

this was another one of those bundled games. I think it was called tank tank

YEAH!!! i played this every day when i was a little child, can remember the strange sounds the tanks made. we had this huge console called "telespiel"

i'm pretty sure it was called combat

YEAH THATS RIGHT!!!!

this was with out a doubt my most played game in my collection. I just couldn't get enough of it!

that must have taken a while to draw that multicolored energy strip! nice yars revenge

thanx man! yeah it did

I don't think I will ever understand this game

does anyone remember this game hint: it's from intelevision.

Tron. Or Snake. Or something like that. Actually, if it was on Intellivision, 'Line Battle'

SNAFU

or it even might be the original version of moposota...

i'm not sure. I got my son one of those new game units. it has like 25 games on it and that is one of them.

It's Tron - Light Cycles

I think they were more curly...........

q bert rocks to this day. they have it on yahoo games but it's kinda hard to play using the keyboard or the mouse

That was my fave on that brand new 5200 series and that giant console TV

Back 2 tha old skool

PAC-MAN

Bit of an obscure one. But the image has been burned in my brain for many years
