Pong...plugged directly into the TV using the supplied antenna adapter.

then Atari 2600 of course.

I stopped buying consoles when the 3DO flopped.

CableDude · Post by **CableDude** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 7:07 pm

Atari. I still have it. Wonder if it works?

iaus10 · Post by **iaus10** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 7:20 pm

pong

Then when I was 10 or 11, I asked my Dad for an Atari, he got me a Commodore Vic20 and said, "write your own games". So I spent many an unfulfilling evening copying code from books to play space invaders and some tank game.
