I had such a similar childhood as you. All the same systems and games almost. Yep, I don't want that stupid camera on Xbox One so none for me. The 360 is awesome enough without an upgrade.
Hi Chris . . . You lost me after the first paragraph, but I feel I must comment anyway. We had the original Atari 2600, too. I think we got it in the mid 70s. We had the paddles first, then went big time and got joy sticks! Pete never played it, but the girls and I were addicted to it. We had all the games that were available and always anxiously waited for new ones to come out. Yars Revenge, Breakout, Centipede, Defender, Asteroids (a fav), Cubit, Mario Bros. and of course PacMan. Probably more I am forgetting. But I remember even before that there was a game called Pong and somehow my dad set it up on our TV when our girls were little. Not much to it, just a ball traveling across the TV screen, but we were amazed by it all and played often. My dad was really into electronics and TV. He was one of the original pioneers of the coaxial cable system and its beginning in PA, setting up a tower and antennae on the highest hilltop around and pulling in signals.
I remember Pong! I would have liked to have played Atari games with you back when this system was new. I played Breakout too. Did you also play Super Breakout on 2600?

Well, that’s my two-cents worth . . .
