Found 3 working 2600s in our shed with a box of 80 cartridges...so tempting to try those games again...but they are so addictive :)

Also found 2 intellivisions, three atari 800s, one atari 1200, one Atari 2600, some playstations, some colecovisions, two Atari STs, and an Xbox. Sigh.

We've got 2 Ataris with a bunch of games, my Nintendo, gameboys, PS, PS2 & PS3. The PS2 is broken though.

That doesn't include the computer games or iDevice games.

Ahhhh, Yar's Revenge... I remember when we first brought that thing home. $40 each (like a week of rent back then) for Space Invaders (remember the power switch rapid fire cheat?), Pac-Man, and Super Break Out with the paddles. Magical times. So much better than our old Magnavox. I'd bring the instruction books in to school to show them around and to draw the artwork.

Video games AT HOME!! Santa who??

I'd kill for an intellivision, the games are...strangely fun

Donkey kong. That game sucked if you lost you had to go all the way back to the first level.
