My god, just how OLD are you Mike!?!??!

The oldest console i remember having I cant remember the name of. But we played road rage on it, i remeber that. it was brilliant. Just before sega, i think, or maybe just after. Huge think, but similar control pads to sega.

Hey Darwin,
Remember how you could run up the score on the football game? Wait with your guy (blip) on the bottom left hand corner and wait for the defense blips to come after you and boom!, all the way to the top (I had better luck actually running along the bottom) and all the way across for a TD! kickoff, get the ball back w/ a short kick and do it again! a great game...

I used to like the old Pac-Man game for Atari.


Wasn't the Atari Pac-Man blurry and not very good?

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned ET yet. I know people have called that the worst game of all time.

I didn't have an Atari. I did have a Texas Instruments computer, which had some rip-offs of Atari games (e.g., "TI Invaders" instead of Space Invaders, and "Munch Man" instead of Pac-Man).

The original River Raid was awesome:



As was Enduro!



I spent HOURS with these games. Another game I played a lot was the Adenvture of Lolo. It was for NES. I played it so much one night, my NES overheated and died. The game just went blank. I screamed.

I just wanted to post here, seeing as it is a video game topic. I think I am addicted to Silent Hill 4. Thank you.

Cool. Mattel Basketball was good, too.

I always liked Centipede and Space Invaders. I've been playing so much pac man lately I'm playing it in my dreams, except the power pills are 2 playing cards dealt down, usually Ace King, because I play too much poker... I'm going insane

Was there ever a Pac-Man card game? If not, there should have been!

Anyone recall these? (Sorry to hijack your thread, tobafett, but I couldn't see starting a whole new thread just for one mention of these ancient things...)

Oh man, that's a blast from the past. I remember those and I remember them being fun, but I have no clue what they did. Do you remember?

Around the same time (I think) was Simon.

I had one of those and it's killing me because I can't remember what the fuck it did and how to play it?

Please, someone tell me what the buttons were for and how the game was played.

I searched the house for that little gadget but I guess it's in a landfill somewhere.

Damn, I can believe I can't remember how to sue that fucker.

Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't you have to slide little cards into the thing so that you'd have to hit the buttons through the little card or something?

actually, nevermind LBF...go to ebay and look up "merlin game"...there are several on there...look for one that's sealed in original box--it has instructions and stuff on the back of the box pic...
