I haven't played a video game since NHL '93, 4, and 5 on Sega Genesis up at STATE but I still love reading this thread. Started on the 2600 before I even knew it existed, was a random X-mas present in like '78 or '79 that I didn't even ask for. Bumped up to the very underrated 5200 when that came out (#23, my arse!

My "rich" suburban cousin has the 2600, 5200, Intellivision (with Intellivoice "B-17 Bomberrr"), and Colecovision. Sleepover HQ for the 80s (VCR helped too. lol).
