Battle of the Video Game Consoles: 1st and 2nd Generation

I don't know if this has ABP'd so just let me know if it has. I decided to put the 1st and 2nd generations together since Pong was really the only 1st generation "console."

The 2600. So classic and well done.

You were my love and my friend,
I thought the game would never end.
You tore out my heart without anesthesia,
Behavior that's hard to defend.

How could you put me in this position?
I really miss my Intellivision.
And now I'm bleeding from this incision,
I really want my Intellivision!

I miss your control and demands,
Nothing to do with my hands,
I won't leave my house - I'm in hibernation,
A loneliness I understand...

And so I sit here without ambition,
I really need my Intellivision.
I cannot stand it, this indecision,
Somebody find my Intellivision!

I want...I want my...I want my Intellivision!

And so I swear by my own volition,
I'm going to find my Intellivision.
I'm on a quest now, I'm on a mission,
I have to have my Intellivision!

I have to go with Atari 2600, it not only had classic games like Adventure and Yar's Revenge but also had the first console RPG ever, Dragonstomper.

But you're only going to play intelligent with Intellivision.

Enlighten yourself, foo.

WITHOUT THE MAGNAVOX ODYSSEY, VIDEO GAME CONSOLES WOULDN'T EXIST! Though we could still have Tennis for Two.

Uh, the 2600 was my favorite. Games like Adventure, Pitfall, Yars Revenge, and Pole Position are just examples of games that remain fun to this day. Plus, Breakout 2600 is my favorite version of Breakout (colorful blocks, yay!).

2600 = overrated

Maybe, maybe not, but I will tell you this: video games can lead to skin being peeled off.

This is more painful than it looks.

I was playing this track & field game in that Intellivision compilation I told you guys about. Well, running is completely difficult, as it's pressing right and left as fast as you can. Well, the hurdles section, I had the good idea of using my palm to move the control stick. Well, after a few seconds, an area feels warm, but I finish. Peeled some of my skin. No bleeding occurred, but. It. HURT.

And yet, I was laughing.

THIS IS HOW WE PLAY VIDYA GAMES. IN AMERICA.

I think there's about three people on this forum who can actually remember this era.

I owned an Intellivision. That's right.

Burgertime FTW.

As one of the three, I think somebody should make a "How old are you?" poll. I'm not going to do it, though, because as someone old enough to be the parent of most of the posters here, that would just be creepy.
