To be fair, the 2600 is 47 years old, you’d have to be 52 at a minimum to remember it launching and 42 to remember the NES. I just remember loving my Atari 2600 all the way in the 90s.
I’m 42. I always got systems later than other kids. The Atari was in the house ever since I could form memories, and I finally got an NES in 1990, when the SNES and Genesis/Mega drive were on the horizon.
Then the Atari was already very old by the time you started forming memories, so it would have been your parent’s generation. It was 4 years old when you were born.
Parents?? That was my first console. How young is everyone here?
Intellivision was where it was at though, right?
Everything except that monstrosity of a controller.
Hell nah! We need to normalize controllers with replaceable faceplates that come with each and every game.
Preach!
Space War :).
Only the rich kids had that. The baseball was awesome though.

My first console was an Atari 2600 clone in 1994!
