Tennis, Hockey and Smash - shown here on a Odyssey 200 - all very distinct. 
When the Atari 2600 arrived, I thought that must be the pinnacle of graphics never to be matched. The future had clearly arrived and would never be improved.
Fast forward a few years …
Now the Atari VCS ( after only a few (cough*) more delays ) is coming full circle and beyond. My child self through the leap from the Odyssey 300 to the Atari 2600 was as good as it would ever get.
I’ve been on the vcs mailing list since the beginning. I haven’t pre-ordered, but I am really curious about what they’re up to. I’m finding it difficult to see how they think they’ll find a place in the market.
Especially difficult if they never get to market.
Haha late to this, but wow that’s nastalgic. Loved all 3 of those Kirupa.
Also ‘Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe’ another great DOS game with the Joystick.
Ah yes, the NES memories. Excitebike and Technobowl as well.
Haha of course, and “Prince of Persia”
And thanks for the welcome! Been a long time site visitor, but finally decided to join the forums, so thank you for all of the resources. Discovered you via purchasing your React book at a Barnes and Noble a long time ago, by far the easiest & best coding read, so kudos on the detailed and humorous writing style.
I was nine years old. Space Invaders-1978 or 1979.
Within a year or two a whole bunch of arcade games showed up. Missile Command was one of my favorites.
Missile Command! That brings back a few other games from that era that I played a bit too much haha.
Paratrooper
Test Drive
Freakin’ Fuzzy Fuzzballs
There is a ton more I can start listing, but I’ll pace myself 
For me it would be Heroes of Might and Magic 2 (1996) and Age Of Empires (1997) both amazing games
Scorched Earth!
Reminds me of Gorillas 
Hi everyone. I am new to this forum. I played Mortal Combat and it is still my favorite game 
Hi kirupa! Yep, I like playing it. Of course, nowadays we have lots of new different games but I still play Mortal Combat. What is your favorite character in MC?
Rayden! Always Rayden 
Sky Fox Commodore 64 1989 - first game I got hooked on!
Is there any exhibition related to these games?
In my childhood, I have played Mario and RoadRush which is my all-time favorite games still.
