Wow, love this thread, brings back so many memories. We had an Intellivision too, and we were not cool for it. I don't remember the games, but I do remember kids saying "Where's the Atari?" and "what's this?" indicating the weird ass controller. Damn, it was just like when we got Hang Ten rollerskates instead of Redstone haha not cool.Jupiter551 said:I'm not sure I remember, but we got an Intellivision video game console that hooked up to the tv when I was like 5 so it was probably that. I think it did a tennis-themed version of pong.
I do remember playing Pong at my cousins before we got a console, and there was a shooting game with plug in guns, very basic, just shoot the dot...loved that game, and still love shooters.
Also loved my orange flip out portable donkey kong game, ended up snapping it in half, Still have some of those flip up games laying around.
When we finally got cool and got an Atari, it was Space Invaders, Frogger, and Pitfall.
