I started out with a Pravetz 8A (Bulgarian clone of Apple II)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pravetz_series_8
Next I got a Nintendo
The only game console I've ever had since the whole family was more PC-oriented. Next came 286, 386, 486, Cyrix, Pentium, then a bunch of AMD's and Celerons. Currently I have a Dual Core E2180.

I can't find any pictures on Google, but we had a very old TV that had Pong built-in and it had two orange controllers with a twistable knob on top that you played Pong with. It even had 2-player mode! Back in 1988 or so.

Dude seriously the commodore 64 is one of the most selling piece of hardware ever made how can you say that piece of junk lol lol
You had a crappy cassette reader I think mywas smoother never had problems
And yes I used to write code on it off some magazines as Oznimbus did
Ah the 80's!!!!
I still miss my commodore 64, the only thing I dont' miss is the load time for a game to play lol
When I had the amiga it was really a different thing, it was like heaven

We still have a Commodore 64. Not sure if it works, but I'd like to investigate that some time. Also have an Atari 2600 and a Colecovision that were my wife's.

My buddy had a Texas Instruments TI-99. We used to play Tunnels of Doom into the night. It seemed so exciting back then, but it was mostly in our heads! I recently downloaded the emulated version, and it's like a bunch of squares for characters and monsters.
Personally, I had a Sears version of Pong, then graduated to Colecovision. I loved Wing War. Eventually got a Nintendo. Never went any further down that money trap path of video games really, besides a few PC ones here and there. Looking back and using emulators, the Genesis looked like the best of the old school bunch.
Merlin ruled too!
Anyone ever have that board game called Dark Tower? Great game, and the flash game is cool too, but the ending theme music is wrong hehe.

I didn't remember what Merlin was until I looked up a pic. YES! I had one of those. I don't think I ever really figured out how to play anything on it though.....I mostly just pretended it was a phone or something.

I agree, it looks horrible
That didn't stop me from spending a huge part of my early childhood playing Contra, Super Mario, some racing game and the one with the tanks, well actually I played every single game on that till I knew them by heart. I never had any cartridges, though, just borrowed a few. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was a favourite, heh. I just downloaded a rar with 885 roms and nester...ah, memories.
