Those were the days. When you could play games without having to endure online trolls. Or having your account hacked!

My 360 had a wood grain panel as well. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/31IVUtjyT3L.jpg

Pishaaw, my RCA Studio 2 didn't even have joysticks, just 2 number pads.
sharkbirdbitecaw
Still have mine hooked up to a B&W TV. Asteroids is my favorite
alaskaBandit
Frogger, Defender, Super Breakout, space Invaders, Pac Man, Pit Fall, even Tank. Wow @OP thanks for the reminder of how I wasted my youth :)
akaturezen9
Wood panels came out later, not before
widell
I had that :)
Mooseman1991
I would pay for a wood grained Xbox
Scrollbox
barnstormer most fun game on the 2600
MeredithHasBeenExposedToRabies
I remember it like yesterday. /sniff. +1

Hours spent standing at the Demo model in Sears before I finally got one for Christmas.
PsionicRoshambo
Heh the 2600 was an upgrade from our Pong machine :P
VikingHobbit
I had that one... wore it out, got a replacement (the one with the plastic case) ... still have it, it still works
MickChester
My parents had an Atari, which my sister & I eventually had. The jungle jump one was my favorite
MickChester
And we still have it!
dazlar
Loved it like a brother
uglyshirts
Filthy casual. Mine was a Magnavox Pong deck with the controllers built right into the console.
Aldryic
That's not old school. That's just old. Pull up a chair and bitch about youngsters with the rest of us.
TexxasTerror
I walked 2 miles to school, uphill both ways!!

My first console was the 2600 Jr, the wedge-shaped refresh of the original 2600.
IalwaysknewOPwasafaggot
I'm so old school, my first gaming console came with a wooden stick and ball.
TexxasTerror
right there with you, brother
Neverwhen
This was my second console. I had it in 1993-7.
ch7leach
Yep I had one of these as a child. Space invaders, pong, and some tank game
IOnlyCommentWithIrony
Called "combat"
ch7leach
Thanks that was it. Really loved playing that with my little brother
bedframe
BRK. BRK. BRK. BRRRRRRRR.
NachomanDandyCabbage
Even when it wasn't very old, ET was the very worst game ever made
Amythyst
It did help pave the way for Nintendo and shovelware like it is why Nintendo had their official seal of quality marketing.
smashpro1
The crash was inevitable. ET was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
Octopherfest
I used to play the shit out of ET could never figure it out but loved collecting all the Reeses Pieces!
dirtydanisreal
It was made in like 2 months by one guy, who made Yar' s Revenge. The doc is super cool. I scored the cartridge at half price books.
sandybuttcheeks
Didn't they find a bunch of these buried in the desert?
Moosecock
Right here in "beautiful" Alamoghetto New Mexico
dirtydanisreal
Yes they did. Was easier for them to dump the excess than to sell them. Not even out of their packaging. The Jimmy Hoffa of gaming legends.
UltraBooster
People spent a lot of time and resources looking for them too
snowcrash36
Pitfall and River Raid were my favorites
duckedoo
I can still hear the pitfall music
ImAfraidYoureAllPsychosSoIMadeThisAccount
Frogger!
Thaynerd
Adventure!
DonPense
Tanks, space invaders, centipede, donkey kong
ImAfraidYoureAllPsychosSoIMadeThisAccount
Bowling! Space Invaders!
eabonin
Omg Pitfall! I need to find me an emulator now.
ManMashine
Back when Activision did quality software and really used the Hardware to the maximum. How times have changed…
chrishallett83
Asteroids, Pele's Soccer, that one game just called "Boxing"...
ManMashine
That's what I like about 70s design. Warm earth tones and wood.
smartcelt
Groovy good!
Empurpled
If only the game consoles integrated macrame they'd have been perfect,
ignoranttostarwarsandvideogames
*80s
ManMashine
Nope, 70s. The original Atari VCS was released in 1977.
Pri1917
Name checks out
DarkSock
Well tell that to Santa Claus who brought mine home Christmas day 1978
Vesorias
THat's what I dislike about 70s designs, unending brown and fake wood.
MadHakon
And orange and yellow as the color of everything.
ifitdoesntmakesenseitwontmakedollars
Like your mom
ManMashine
Jokes on you. My mom is a 60s child.
mintblasterliam
70's teen....
