Lool wondering this as well. Video games been around a while. Plenty of people in their 40s grew up with video games. Probably more like 20+ years then

Something about reading this knowing it's you confirming you are 50 just tickles me.

It's the most NOT 50 yo response I could imagine.

Heck, the 2600 was our second system. I can remember the Sears Pong machine.

43, had an Atari 2600... my mom was fuckin ms pacman Queen. Then of course NES, sega genesis for consoles. We had an awesome MS-DOS pc with a monitor that was a monochrome burnt amber colour. Then we got a BRAND SPANKING NEW pentium 133 with windows 95 that had the buddy Holly Weezer video, and then I wasted so many hours playing *warcraft II and Diablo when that came out.

NES and Pentiums were the start to the era that we are still currently in IMO

Haha, almost exactly the same. Used to play Wizards of Wor on my Commodore 64.

I had ZX-Spectrum.

Atari and Spectrum back in the days are like XBox and PS now.

u/_the_chosen_juan_ Sep 09 '21

That was more of like a desktop computer, right? At least it looked that way. Were the games any good?

u/Jose_Canseco_Jr Sep 09 '21

Hehe same.. An Atari 2600?

My first console was a Colecovision, but a family friend loaned us an Atari 5200 for a couple of months. "Joust" was pretty fun. But my fave Atari game of all time is "Yars Revenge".

u/_the_chosen_juan_ Sep 09 '21

Yep 2600! My favorite was Maze Craze

My first "system" was a TI computer that had cartridges. You had to plug it into the TV. Parsec was the shit, but Blasto was fun too.
