Oh man, I really need to get my boyfriend to join this site (he read some of it today! Chad, please join!). He has a HUGE videogame collection, I think its over 1,000 games now, most of it old stuff like Atari and NES.

My favorites? Hmm, Tetris, Dr. Mario, Marios, Zeldas, Warlords (like 4 player tetris), Arkanoid....mmm yes. There are few games that I don't like.

Has anyone played "illegal" NES games by a company called Wisdom Tree? They put out biblical video games such as Exodus (Bomberman knock off where you play Moses, shooting the "Word of God" at enemies), Bible Buffet (a lot like Candyman) and a bunch of other minigames (one where chucking baby Moses around the screen is actually a strategy!)

Ah, don't get me started on videogames! It is late and I need some sleep!

OK Erin, You win.

I guess it just took a post like this to get me to join.

As for a favorite game I can't decide. There are WAY to many great game to choose from.

But one great one has to be Ms. Pacman

Me too. I love Pong. I actually have 3 different pong consoles. I enjoy pong so much that I have acutally played it by myself, it really takes a bit of practice.

I am 22 with greying hair, and I love Joost and Donkey Kong,

But my favorite game was this game that I have on my 286 commador:

It was about ninjas

I was always the white ninja.

No competition. The pinnacle of 80s video games was Dig-Dug.

Could the game be Karate Champ?

I have it on NES and I loved it as a kid. It was so simple but my brother and I played it for hours. I also know it was available for the commodore too.

I just have to put a little about myself on this thread since it relates to me so much. :D I currently have a classic video game collection with about 20 different systems and over 1000 games I have collected ever since I was a kid. My personal favorite system is the Nintendo Entertainment system. I still play and have over 400 games for it.

Even though I am not old enough to remember the really old games as a kid, I'm only 21, I do know quite a bit about classic games. The first video game system I can really remember having as a kid was the Intellivision. I still remember getting it and just being blown away by the whole concept of video games and how revolutionary they were.
