Well, I can't really say anything game. But when nintendo came out and you spouted off games like pacman and people assumed you had an nintendo. You kinda don't say anything about it being a 2600.

Don't know cuz I just got my first 2600 this year.

I would be embarrassed to own any of the porno games if I had them.

My little brother owned Math Grand Prix, which everyone who came over had to try because no one had ever seen it before. They always realized pretty quickly that it stunk but they invariably insisted on playing a race out to the end. Yawn. Sooner or later, the "this is really your game, not your little brother's" jokes would start and for some reason, those really got under my skin. :?

Cookie Monster Munch.

 

I would say it was for my little brother (which was true), but

I wouldn't have displayed that one proudly as part of my

cart collection way back when.

 

The custom number pad was kind of cool though.

Kind of like Indy 500--never cared for the game but I

bought it just to get the driving controllers.

I don't think I was ever embarrassed at all until I got more into Atari and started reading AA and learning about all the other awesome games. You see, the only games I actually owned as a kid were:

 

Carnival

Combat

Human Cannonball

M*A*S*H

Pac-Man

Sky Jinks

Space Cavern

Space Jockey

Video Pinball

 

All picked out by my parents. Not truly embarrassing, but still a fairly sucky selection when you think about all the highlights of the 2600 library I missed out on back then.

You know, I don't know how educational it is, but Donkey Kong Jr Math for NES isn't a bad head to head game...just rediscovered it on emulation.

Two of the three Mythicon games, Sorceror and Solar Fox. Thankfully, I only paid $0.99 for each of the games, but Asteroids was still far better at that price than those two games.

Embarrassed to have owned a game? Doesn't make much sense. If I were embarrassed about anything, it would be that I belong to a forum in which one of the topics is "Coca Cola C2 -- Very good!".

Of course it does. You won't see any Pokemon, DDR, or fruity anime-inspired titles in my collection.

:D

Hey!! :x :_(

Ah HA! You own stock in Coca-Cola, don't you!

 

Hehe!

Not outright per se for Coca Cola, though I think it may be part of stock allocations in some of the mutual funds I own. :)

Basic Math. My dad bought it in an attempt to smarten me up. It didn't worked.

 

 

Should have gotten you "Basic Grammer". If they had made one... :P :twisted:
