You are older.    Let me rephrase - I never had a video game system as a kid......didn't really know about them. 

[Beet]

All games - capture the flag.

PC games - Civilization.

Video games - none.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I will say, when my daughter was a kid, the first gaming system we bought for her was an Atari. I still miss the old Atari........sometimes the simpler the better.

Mrs. Grumps bought we a WI U, or whatever it's called.  Pretty cool, but it's not Atari.

I wasn't into games that much, but these have always been my favorites, in order from fav/least fav:








I like old games, but my dad got all those when I was growing up (Super Mario World he already had before I was even born I think) so I developed a penchant for them I guess.

[politicallefty]

I remember Super Mario World came with the SNES. The system was a gift from my grandparents for Christmas 1992 when I was 5. Even now, I still think it's one of the greatest games I've ever played.

It's sad so many will never know the pleasure and unpleasure of renting video games. Being born in 1987, I suppose I'm on the tail end of that experience.

Sweet Home. Almost beat it. That was, of course, after hours of sweat and scare.

When I was a kid, I loved the original Super Mario Brothers.  Old school FTW!!
