What started my video game addiction...

It was some time ago when it all started but I couldn't really recall any actually moment until I stumbled across some old pictures I scanned a few years back. Take a look.

There she is, the Atari 5200. I had a few friends later that showed me the 2600. Both fun but I enjoyed the 5200 because that's the system I had for my first few video gaming years.

 

When and what was your first video game moment that you can remember?

Mine was the atari 2600! I had spent many hours at the demo area at Sears playing Target Fun as a child. Then lo-and-behold there was one under our tree one year. Not only did we have Target Fun, but my parents got me and my brother Combat as well!

Wow, that goes back before my days but I know all about it. There was a great 2 hour special on CSNBC about the history of video games back in Nov. I was glued to the TV with such interest.
