My dad had a Coleco Telstar that I might've had a go on first, but I was born right around the time of the 2600 launch, so that's the first one I really remember. First computer was a Commodore 64. :)
3 decades? That's awesome! Do you have the pic of it?My first console for myself was an SNES, which I got around Christmas of 1994
31 years later and I still have it. Probably still working too!
Sadly no.3 decades? That's awesome! Do you have the pic of it?
Dang, that's okay thoughSadly no.
That's a fire collection bro, great uncle you got thereMy first video games were LCD games which I posted in the other topic on first video games, but my first video game platform was the Atari 2600 Jr. I believe I got it around 1988.
I still have and use the same unit as when I was a kid, even the box is fully intact

My uncle gave me the console with a whole bunch of games and among those games was a fascinating Yar's Revenge bootleg called Yar's Attack which hasn't been dumped to this day.
So for me, the Yar's game I grew up with was always Attack, not Revenge, I had no idea that Revenge was the real one for years.
I still own the same cart as back then

What I really really like about this version is that the shield around the enemy ship is green instead of orange which I feel fits the vibe of the game much better

I really dislike playing Yar's Revenge with the organge shield for some reason lol, shame this one hasn't been dumped.
Another interesting games that my Atari 2600 came with was UFO Patrol or X'Mission as it's also known, this one isn't a very common game but it's one of my absolute favorite 2600 titles and it really captures that trippy color changing neon 80's atmosphere perfectly.
