holygrailvideogames.com Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I' m 22 now. The first Atari was A 2600 six switcher. I got it from a cousin who used to play with it as a child. But after a while it got broken, then my parents bought me an 2600JR (1989). The last new Atari 2600 that I bought in a store was in 1995.

Atariboy2600 Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Oh man looking at all thouse years in my list makes me feel like "The Forrest Gump of Video Game" gamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 That's an impressive list, Atariboy! I'm only 19, started getting into classic games at age 12. My first classic console (aside from the NES, Game Boy, Game Gear, and Genesis I had growing up--they weren't considered classic at the time) was an Odyssey 2 I got from one of my friends when I was 12 or 13. Still loving it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I'm late to this, but I'm 34. So NovaXpress and I are the exact same age. That means we were both at Ohio State at the same time. Funny that we never ran into each other there. OSU is pretty big after all. I'm sure that sooner or later there will be somebody from ISU on these boards who graduated when I did that I never knew or even met.

I'm sure that sooner or later there will be somebody from ISU on these boards who graduated when I did that I never knew or even met. Heh, I was joking there about not running into him. At the time we attended OSU, there were about 50,000 students on the campus. There used to be quite a few OSU graduates or attendees on these boards. If you look at the thread where Euchre was playtested, there were at least four or five of us. Not surprising, since at OSU it seemed there was at least one Euchre game going on every dorm floor all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
