I might be the oldest person on these Forums (almost 52), so when I was a kid (and money was pretty tight), we didn't even have an Atari 2600.  We had the Sears Tele-Games that played Atari 2600 Cartridges.

This whole thing is a great example of why John needs to add a FB style like button.  ;)

Borrowed my friends dad's commodore 64 for a weekend, when i was 9 and i got a gameboy when i turned 11. Bought a second hand Sega Master system 2 with my own money the same year. Still have the Master system, and it works, played it yesterday.

I just picked up " MUNCHER " for my Bally Astrocade, an I am impressed on how close it is to an full arcade version when you look at what crap the 2600 version was for the times, plus its 4 player !



That Astrocade is sweet! I'd love to get my hands on one, but they are NOT cheap on eBay.

I just got into the TurboGrafx 16.  I remember seeing it at a friends house in the 90's, but didn't realize how cool it was back then.  The shmups on the system such as Blazing Lazers and Super Star Soldier are fantastic.  Also, I have been playing Cratermaze, trying to get a 1,000,000 point score.

On another note, has anyone had any experience with the Analogue CMVS?  Its a really cool consolized MVS Neo Geo.
