Older Gamers
I've been playing video games since the Atari 2600. That might give you an idea of how old I am. Are there any other gamers over 30 playing this game?

I have a Jaguar with the CD drive too. Never got the Superfamicom but my friend had the Dreamcast. I still have my old Sega master system, Genesis, and Saturn, the NES, super Nintendo, and Nintendo 64, and the original Playstation too.
Many nights when we were in high school were filled with us playing Jumpman, Save new York, Mail-Order Monsters and M.U.L.E. on the C64. Incidentally those last 2 games are both EA games!
What I remember most about the Genesis was Rocky. That game was hard as hell. The only way I could beat Drago was getting a split decision. I would knock him down then stay away from him the rest of the match until the final round. I never had C64 but always wanted one. The closest I had was an Apple2E which was kind of a * machine. The games I had were lame. Wheel of Fortune and Oregon Trail I think. OT was fun.
In High School I played a lot of SNES. I liked games so much when the Sony Playstation first came out I bought it and called in sick to work to play it. haha
Well, my first console was a 2600 but the first one I played was my friend's Coleco. Then before my PS4, the last one I owned was a Sega CD. Yup. You youngsters can look that up, it was one of the stupidest consoles ever made - essentially a portable Genesis (or was it Dreamcast?) that could...wait for it...play CD's! It was greatly useful to me though, as I was on a tour in a new hotel room every night, so it served as both game console and stereo.
In middle and high school computer classes we had Vic 20s, C64s and Apple 2Es. I played a few Apple games like NORAD and Robot War after school but never liked programming on the Apple that much.
The Vic 20 had so little RAM. 4k expandable to 16k although it looked much like the C64, it's bigger, badder brother that of course had 64k RAM, a powerhouse! 😃
- I don't know if you guys have a 2nd and Charles store where you are, but they carry all of the classics. A lot of original unopened boxes, but mainly remade. As well as action figures, comics, etc. I will say this, some things better left in the past. I bought 'Monster Squad' and the one quote I remembered as a kid was the only cool thing in it. "Wolfmans got nards"
Lol done that a few times when a new game came out
