I was wondering what games did you all grow up on. I remember being addicted to the game Zaxxon.

I always played Galaga, and still can't pass it up if I run across one.

You know growing up we had a joystick with one button, then we got two buttons, now they have like 8 buttons on them. You have to hit a combination of buttons to do one thing. How do these kids do it.

I LOVED playing Gauntlet in the arcade.

We grew up with the Atari 2600...I thought we were awesome, then we got the original Nintendo and I thought that was SO high tech!!

I have the original pong game that works on c-batteries. It is one box with two dials on it.
