Hey all.
I am new here and wanted to read some of your favorite Atari 2600 memories. Whether it be opening the bad boy up at Christmas or staying up late to try and conquer a game....tell em all!
Two of my earliest memories were playing Pac Man at my cousin's house in about 82 or 83. I was about 6 at the time and my older cousin was pissed at me for eating all the power pak's first. I guess I didn't get the concept.
Another memory is coming home from Boston at 7 years old. I had eye surgey as a kid. When we were walking through the airport, my grandparents greeted me and my mom with my own first Atari 2600. Can't remember what kind but I didn't care at the time. We headed straight over to an old store called Gold CIrcle and I ended up getting Bowling. I was a huge bowling fan at the time and was in heaven for awhile with that game. I remember borrowing Donkey Kong from a neighbor the next night and was even allowed to stay up past my bed time to play it.
Awesome!
ok, your turn
