You must be too young to remember. It was the first cartridge-based TV console game system. The graphics sucked, but it was just fantastic to be able to play video games in the comfort of your own home!

You have got to be kidding right?

I think the 2600 came out around 1977 or 78. A few years later there was the 5200, and I think there was also a 7800 after that (by that time I had moved on to Colecovision, and then Commodore-64). My favorite 2600 games were Superman and Adventure. I could finish each game in under 2 minutes, but I still played them over and over again.

I'm gonna brag a bit here, so please excuse me:

I was given a lovely wallet for my birthday made out of "Rice Paper" with writing paper inside, also made of rice paper, by the georgous Joan Jett way back in 1985 when she did a tour here 1985. It also had beautifully coloured prints on the outside. I was her Road Manager just for that part of her tour and they had just been to Japan. That has to rank as one of my top 10 presents anyway.

Believe it or not, one of the best presents also given to me has to be an electric water coker (for making tea) given by a friend one xmas years ago. Still got it and its the most usefull appliance i have in the kitchen.

Peace
