1 and hence I know that the button belongs on the left top not where it is.

I remember when the Atari clones came out where it was like a tiny 2600 and it had like 50 games loaded on it. They were at Walmart for like 30 bucks and I bought one.

My millennial son scoffed, laughed when I said, lets play some games. After getting his ass kicked by his old man who'd not played a video game in 25 years, he decided, "these games and this stupid controller my old man calls a joy stick for some reason is stupid".

We still laugh about it.

Haha, I can't wait for the day when millennials get beaten by their boomer dads at VR games. That will be an epic showdown. But yes, gaming technology has come a long way since the Atari days, you gotta keep up with it! Anyways, kudos to you for being able to show your son who's boss in the gaming w...

2 I still remember we had the TV in the same my mother and I would bother sleep in. I would stay up late, put a blanket over me and the TV to help block the light and play late after she fell asleep…. good times with Mario.

I started with 2 NES but I play much more on the Gameboy and SNES. Me and my brother used to swap levels I would play one then he would play the next.

We got a ColecoVision set in probably 1983 after my mom got the tip of her finger cut off at a work accident and that was her "settlement" It's the only game console we ever owned. Had way better games than Atari. https://i.imgur.com/578yISZ.jpg

My leftie buddy would play with left hand on the stick and button in the top right.

1, and then various versions of it before I ever had a console. When I think joystick I still think of this as the gold standard - Microsoft Sidewinder https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_c91242dabe8ae77f723f815e7f4bdb9e15ccb97ba359c9cd04e3b62815902736.jpeg

Technically 3 and 4. But 6 and 9 were the first I owned. Actually they were the only ones I owned

1 and then most of the others over the years. #nerd

7 I personally started on the original PlayStation as far as console go, but my first video games were on the GameBoy Color

1. But it wasn't that great till 2 came along.
nostrich · 177w
Started on 2, and everything's been downhill since 13.

2 for me. I still remember the "access any level" cheat code for the teenage mutant ninja turtles game on NES, somehow. B-A-B-A up down B-A left right B-A start

1 for me. Pitfall was my favorite
MidAtlantic Man · 177w
1 but my favorite is missing. Intelivision was ahead of its time https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_50449bbacf14a7d89928d0f436d2090d97830887362b68d00eb4d2cd8568d2f0.jpeg

#1, pong. Circa ‘75-76. Didn’t play much dedicated game console after that original atari. Moved more to commodore 64 and other pc based games after that when they came out

Ha! Started with #5, finished around #9. No, actually, started with #2 at friend’s place. My mom still has my old SEGA and games in her closet. 😂
