while on this topic... I know Sega Game Gear was originally packaged with Columns. It later came with Sonic as the pack-in. Does anyone have any info as to the date Sonic started shipping with the console? I think it must have been early 1992, but am curious if anyone has a more solid date.

Here're the ones I had:

NES w/ SMB

SNES w/ SMW

Atari Lynx w/ Batman Returns (altho this is more of a disservice to the kid receiving this as a gift)

Panasonic 3DO FZ-1 w/ Crash n' Burn.

After this, pack-ins went extinct, save a couple promo bundles which still come up from time to time.

Atari 2600 - Pac-Man

 

Atari 7800 - Pole Position II

 

NES - SMB/Duck Hunt

 

Genesis - Sonic the Hedgehog

 

SNES - I honestly don't remember whether mine came with Super Mario World or not.

 

Playstation - Demo disc.

 

No pack in games for any subsequent consoles.

I loved getting Tetris with the Game Boy. Still one of my favorite games. Bit disappointed consoles rarely come with games these days.

 

If PCs count Windows 95 came with Hover. Not our family's PC, but I remember playing it a lot at school.

 

I believe the Wii came with Wii Sports; it's really a 4-game demo to get users used to the controllers, so it would make sense for the system to comer with it.

 

If I remember right the version of the Wii U we got came with Mario Karts Wii U.

Ohhh, PC. I remember my 486 DX2-50 came with Lemmings. It may have been bundled with the SoundBlaster Pro.
