OUCH, that’s just mean.
Yet true.
We (my sister and I) ruled the neighbourhood with our Coleco Telstar from
1976... An amazing (tongue in cheek) game “system” which REALLY meant 3 pong
variants. From the astounding “handball” (one person player pong mode),
“tennis” (two player pong player mode) and wait for it... “hockey” (which was
basically tennis with a “goalie”). Giggle.
Maybe I should have said I was a Home Console geek. Im sure many ppl have owned
plenty more systems, but you can see by my list, I do favour Nintendo power...
When I grow up I want to be Link.
First generation - Coleco Telstar
Second generation - ColecoVision
Third generation - NES
Fourth Generation - SNES and Sega Genesis
Fifth generation - Nintendo 64 and PlayStation
Sixth generation - GameCube and Xbox
Seventh generation - Wii
Sadly I no longer have the first and second generation machines and neglected to
list our (me and my 2 geek sons) hand held systems. Also, for the record, most
of these systems were gifts since my boys are the only grandchildren and nephews
on either side of their parentage.

Well, don't forget that I'm old enough to be using a Lego cane/walker in terms of AFOL average ages - lol! :^) I had access to all kinds of older systems when I was younger...Commodore 16/64/PET/Amiga, TSR 90 (?), Apple IIe, Coleco of course (...)
