1. Pong
2. Atari (my buddy had Gemini)
3. Coleco (buddy had Intelevision)
4. Famicom
5. Super Famicom

Re: For The Atari Generation

I miss joysticks. I honestly stopped playing video games with those stupid Nintendo game pads that all of the video game companies somehow thought were superior. I never understood why people seemed to like those game pads so much. The buttons are smaller than my fingers, so why would that be better? Joysticks gave a real feel to games, whether they be simulators, sports games or car driving games.

Give me an ol' Vic 20 or C-64 or any of the old arcade games with real joysticks anyday.

Re: For The Atari Generation

Re: For The Atari Generation

On the systems (XboX, PS2, NGC) there is a game called atari revival which has like 500 old school atari games on it. Theres also Namco Museum or Acclaim arcade hits, all have the old school games on em, really fun. We dont get them in often at Toys R us, but when we do they sell out right away! So much fun!

I also found this halarious article about what kids of today think about our old school video games, its pure comedy, check it out!

I miss the flat style controllers from the NES/SNES days. Really that was what I grew up with, and still feels the most comfortable for some reason.
