    Radio Shack had one with 4 games, ping pong, hockey, and two others. If you put the slide switch exactly between two games, you could get a game that wasn't even on there with more paddles. :)

    The oldest games I can remember are Pacman (remember that little ball with a mouth?) and Loderunner (Apple).

    I used to play Streetfighter II almost every day after school when I was thirteen. My favorite fighter was Chun Li because she was really quick and she wore that skimpy Chinese dress with the slits up to her hips. I used to make her kick and hit the pause button. :blush: :lol:

    Shame on you. :)

    There are different skins for the Tombraider game. You can make her play nude.

    Here's a list of the videogames I used to play: Punch Out, Duck Hunt, Super Mario Bros. 1 and 2, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong, and Contra. There are more, but I don't remember their names anymore.:(

    well i remember arcade versions of dig-dug, zaxon, and even tank, when each were brand new and pretty spectacular compared to anything we could as yet, at the time each of them came out, get our hands on at home.

    but again this was arround the time the first take home and plug in 8 bit byters were first becoming available.

    Atari Adventure is probably my favorite for that machine. It seems to have a lot of variability to it that the other games don't.

    After getting my xbox modded, I can now play every game from Atari2600, Colecovision, MAMEOX (aracade games), and pretty much every other console pre-N64. It's great, if you have an Xbox, I highly recommend doing it.

    Well my friend did it for me, but he installed a soft-modded hard drive with Xbox Media Center. It's great, if you have it hooked to the internet you can check the weather, listen to streaming radio, and all kinds of other good stuff.

    I just sold my Atari 2600 and over a hundred games last year. Also sold a thousand Commodore 64 games, and have another thousand with the hardware in my room... lol, and its set up on the table... just in case I grow tired of my PC. Besides, I think some of the older games are far better in concept than today. They should take some of them and re-make for win xp. One in particular is Alternate Reality:The City and The Dungeon. Make them for pc and finish the rest of the series as well.
    Oh well, just dreaming I guess...
