Retro Games - Sega, Nes, PS1 and others

[Shadea]

I suggest that we discuss here retro games from our childhood.
Are there many people here who had the legendary Sega, Nes, Snes, PS1 and many others. I had Sega Genesis and PlayStation 1 as well as Nes when I was a kid. Who had what consoles as a kid?
My favorite games on these wonderful platforms:
Battletoads (Nes).
Jim Worm 1, 2 (Sega)
Mortal Kombat 3 Ultimates (Sega)
On PS1, played a lot with a friend in Varant Story
Of course these are not all the games I've played. These are my favorites.
Does anyone play these consoles now?

The console I had as a kid was a Binatone TV Master. That could play football("soccer"), tennis, squash, and a couple of shooting games using an orange plastic pistol. Was a Christmas present in 1977.

I'm so old that we didn't have a TV but I played a mean radio. My favorite games were played outside.

Had a Magnavox Odyssey 2 I think I got it in 1982. I put it on eBay in 1990 and I had collectors bidding against each other for the game cartridges. I paid like $44 for the game cartridges some of them sold for $80 on eBay.

My very first console was the Playstation, the 1st one. Had many great times on that system, from NHL 98, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil 2, Final Fantasy 7,8,9, Dino Crisis and so many more. Moved on to the PS2, Dreamcast, which had an outstanding NFL 2K game, PS3 playing Mass Effect 3, and many more. Then got the Nintendo Wii for Wii sports bowling.... And since then have called it quits with gaming.

I was married when the first pong game came out. I had to have it. oh the thrill of it all...

 

[AugieTN]

When Pong came out a few of us would play it for hours at a local pub

 

[Dannydet]

Pong was great back in the day!
Played it as a kid when it first came out

 

[olbriar]

For as basic as Pong was, it was so new and exciting. It was an entirely new form of entertainment to me. I walked past a live demonstration at
Sears, stood there in total awe, then bought one. I really couldn't afford it but I had to have it.

Yes, that's right. I already forgot what the full name of the game is.)

Wow, interesting stuff. It's the first time I've seen a console like that. I'll have to read up on it.

Look at Pong Story. This is how consoles used to be, before Nintendo, or Sony, or Sega, or whatever.

Nintendo : Super Mario Bros. of course was my favorite, but Bases Loaded and Blades of Steel were great games.

Super Nintendo: Street Fight 2 and Iron Man Super Off Road.

Playstation : Madden and the Gran Turismo franchises.
