'Retro Gaming' Anyone here into this?
Has anyone here ever owned or still have their old Atari 2600/5200, Commodore 64, or Nintendo Entertainment System (or any other classic system for that matter)? | |

I have an Atari 2600. I haven't played it in a while, though. The Activision games were the best for that system! I had an NES but sold it about 10 years ago along with all the games. The best one I had was Legend of Zelda. | |

I sold or traded all my stuff...Here is a story of how stooooopid of a kid I was....When the Nintendo craze first hit I was at the time a "Transformer/Gi Joe" Hustler So in my "infinite" wisdom I decided to trade transformers for nintendo games.... Lets just say "Kid Icarus" is not worth $700 dollars on ebay like an original Megatron is.... for my younger self clever clever quotation - attention getting quote - sad yet witty remark - look at me! Im deep quote- song lyric about my ex cause that bitch stole my mp3 player! - line from movie I liked - Prince lyric - not very clever sig mocking other sigs | |

I had that very first home gaming system that was made for only one game, where you had two lines and were bouncing a ball between them. Then I got a Commodore 128D which was twice as powerful as the C64 but it was all about the same damn games anyway. Then I got an Amiga 500 with extra RAM that took it up to one whole megabyte.
Edit: Oops, forgot that I had an Atari 800 with Dig Dug, Star Raiders and a bunch of other fun games before I got the C128D. [Edited 5/17/05 23:18pm] | |

LOL..I traded my Sega Genesis and some games for a car
The car was a 1968 Plymouth Fury 2 that caught on fire when my friends and I got drunk and decided to go 'baja-ing' out in my mom's back 40 | |
