    I'm thinking it was a Telstar Pong or maybe one from Radio Shack....four switch-deal; 'hockey', 'smash', etc..etc..

    Dont think we got the 2600 until I was about 5 or so, and up until then, pretty much the only games available were of the Pong-types, heh.

    Some kind of Tank vs. Tank game you could hook up to the TV and this is way, WAY back in the day.

    I had the good fortune of having a few friends who had an SNES with EarthBound and Legend of Zelda on it.
    I always enjoyed playing zelda because I just liked running around and attacking the guards, and EarthBound was one of the first RPGs I ever played.
    It was an awesome experience for me (I was around 6 when this happened) because all I ever had was a GameBoy before then, so it was interesting playing games on a larger screen.

    Urgh, let's see...
    For console, it was definitely Super Mario World, probably closely followed by Mario Paint. For PC...I want to say it was Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade by LucasArts or LucasGames or whatever they were going by back then, but that doesn't feel right. So probably something like Bar Games from Accolade or SkiFree

    Haven't heard of Ebay? Game is dirt cheap and there's lots of copies on there. You were complaining about download speeds earlier, so I'm not sure why you want an ISO.

    Super Mario Brothers for NES. I'll bet it was a "first" for many of us here. The other one I remember playing at first was Donkey Kong Classics (also on NES). Good times.

    How did I forget SMB and Duck Hunt. I remember playing those quite young at a Cape Verdean veterans club I think...?
