I had already mentioned my involvement with videogames in an earlier post here, but I really want to take a look at what I have played and maybe give my view of where the industry is today, by taking a look at where it’s been, along with where is was with it….so lets start here….
The Atari 2600 - My First Videdo Game Console
It was around 1980, I was living with my girlfriend ( who would later become my wife ) Sue in an upstairs apartment on Dolson Ave in Middletown and my first experience with a video game console was the Atari 2600.
I remember spending alot of time in front of a tiny color tv screen playing a black and white game called Missle Command and another game called Pitfall featuring a character called Pitfall Harry, and unfortunately, that is the only game for the system that I can remember with any real clarity.
Atari would put out another system after the 2600, the 5200 with better games and ( for the time of course ) greatly improved graphics, but I never experienced the console myself
After about a year and a few months, I was already looking at the new kid on the block..A new console would be released by a little known company called Coleco, and again the video game industry would be revolutionized by a new console called the…
Coleco Vision
Tomorrow… Coleco Vision
