The Game Forum

Hi, everyone.

Because I'm perhaps an older member, I still remember a time when there were no video game consoles for home use, and I STILL recall how excited everyone was when PONG first came out in the late 1970s.

Although I don't own a gaming console now - which is why I post mainly in the PC threads - I did own a Coleco Gemini, which was a knock off of the Atari 2600 and could play Atari 2600 games. I had quite a few games - Donkey Kong, Polaris, Chopper Command, Return of the Jedi, and Star Wars: The Arcade Game - and until I started college, I played every day.

I still have my cartridges somewhere, but obviously since the connection jacks are old school, I can't adapt the console to use with my newer TV.

How about the rest of you guys (and gals!)? Any Atari 2600/5200 vets out there?

I did play Atari when I was a kid, I can't remember the model number of it. I only had 2 games that time, it was Pacman, and I think that was Galaga.

Atari Flashback console was launched few years ago. It got same games that the classic Atari console have and everything was same.
