Nope!

I had every other games console except for Nintendo (Atari, Activision, Colecovision, Dick Smith Wizzard, and one I've forgotten the name of)

Stoat never had a gaming console.

Ergo, we never got to handle (or blow) said cartridge.

I have blown a few Atari's in my time, though.

This, dear friends, is a classic Nintendo NES system, and games:

Those of us born in the 70's (and perhaps early 80's) became gamers on this system. It's downright iconic for the 30-something crowd.

Nope, Atari's the one. Nintendo.. meh.

Morrigoon · 08-08-2008, 06:40 PM

I didn't say it was the first (hell, my brother had the Atari). But it was huge in its day

I was Atari too, never had a Nintendo until near the end of high school.

Morrigoon · 08-08-2008, 06:47 PM

My bro had Atari and another system (probably a TI system or something), but I didn't have "my own" game system till Nintendo. So my early gaming was split between the NES and the Commodore 64

Then one day many years later I found out that you could get Boulderdash for the NES, bringing the two roads together at last! (though it's just not the same playing it w/out a joystick)

I started with classic pong and then we got an Atari 800.

I still have a C64, Amiga 3000 (with Kickstart 1.3/2.0/3.1 from HD- rev1.0 A3K) and a very rare Amiga 4000T with a PowerPC processor and Video Toaster (that box is actually headed to a technology museum in a few months).
