lol paddle controllers. They could only be used with like 3 games.
Duck Hunt GOAT
I grew up playing Intellivision, I’m good.
I had a ColecoVision. Not sure what that says about me, but I doubt it’s anything good.
2 years til 50 for me, so you can’t be far behind.
zik, that means you were the cool rich kid to most people. That system had the best graphics, and a perfect emulation of Donkey Kong (IIRC). The only people I knew who had it had dough. Intellivision was the mid-tier. Most of the rich kids had that over Atari, but I didn’t like it any better than Atari.
I saved up money, and was one of the first Nintendo adopters due to the arcade games they had that I was hoping they’d put out. They famously were in license hell for like a year and a half, so I sold it to one of my friends’ brother because I was tired of playing Duck Hunt, Hogan’s Alley, and Gyromite. About 3 months later they had a flood of games…of course. I ended up buying a Sega, instead.
I can assure you that at no point was I ever a cool or rich kid. The cool kids at the time (by nerd standards, anyway) all had C64’s and TRS-80’s.
Damn. I’m glad my downstairs neighbor isn’t a cop.
Since we’re talking about colonoscopies, I read this as “I had a ColorectoVision.” 
I wanted a ColecoVision badly, both for the games — they all looked very much like the arcade games, while some Intellivision ports (most notably Donkey Kong) did NOT — and for the Adam computer. The crash killed that dream dead.
Colecovision here, too. I thought it was pretty great. Had some super big controllers and remember loving this James Bond game. Spyhunter maybe?
First family system was a Texas instruments ti994a. That was an interesting one. Those games were ancient looking.
We had an Atari and I haven’t had a colonoscopy yet.
To people who played video game systems, you would have been coveted where I grew up. I knew exactly one person who had one. Had some friends who also had the Commodore 64, but that didn’t make them cool, but was a very good predictor of richness or nerdiness. TRS-80s were abundant in my classrooms that had computers probably from an early age (I want to say as early as 2nd grade), but the company that made them was headquartered where I grew up which probably helped. Can’t imagine someone actually owning one of those at the time.
My uncle owned one and it was the first video game system I ever played. I bought one with like 25 games or so at a yard sale for 10 bucks a few years ago.
This?:
True North, Donkey Kong was the sell for that system. Looked just like the arcade game from what I can remember. I think the Atari version was as laughable as their Pacman versions.

I’m not that good of a person. Not even close.
Wow lol your dad, but I guess he couldn’t have known.
I was in exactly one Christmas school play as a child, in which I played the lead, so my parents recorded it on a camcorder bigger than me.
Years later, I found the tape and was excited to see what child me did on stage. Curtain opens, out I come–and the video switches to the Super Bowl my dad recorded over it.
At least it wasn’t your mom blowing your dad or something.
Oh, well then let’s send the jury into deliberations for that guy O_o
