I was a gamer when I was a lad...started with Pong, graduated to the Atari 2600...got my first computer, a Commodore 64 and would spend hours inserting code from Compute magazine just to play the simple games in the magazine. I think I had almost every single home gaming system that came out in the 1970s-early 90s...I even had a stand-up arcade Donkey Kong in my home which I would play for hours. Now I can hardly stand to play video games at all.
My all time favorite video games
-Donkey Kong (arcade version)
-Adventure (Atari 2600)
-Lode Runner (C64)
-Super Mario 3 (NES)
-Donkey Kong Country (Super Nintendo)
For what it's worth there is a fantastic documentary out about the quest for the high score on Donkey Kong called "The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters." I highly recommend it.
