    showing my age here!  I remember my parents getting me a silver/black console and all it had was pong (tennis) on one side and a shooting game on the other. It was kinda large and came with a six-shooter type gun-connected by a cord mind you. It might have been the original pong, not sure...But to kids in the early/mid 70's it was  basically the 1st  video game to come out. I think Led Zeppelin was playing on the record player. That was a thing that went in circles- with a large type orb  spinning around !!   :D

      I remember pong, my parents had it. I had an Atari 2600 with Yars Revenge, Star Raiders, Adventure and the classic Space Invaders. My mates had a Intellivision then a Coleco-vision, which was what i first saw Donkey Kong on and someone else had a Vectrex.
      Then i had a Sega Megadrive, i remember Alien 3, Speedball 2, Ecco and Virtual Racing being cool games.
      I've had 3 playstation ones at various times but sold them all when i got hooked on the nintendo 64 with Goldeneye, Zelda and Perfect Dark, fantastic games.
      I stuck with Nintendo and got a GameCube, which im still playing and have got a Wii.
      I sometimes play Age of Empire type games on the PC and sometimes Sherlock Holmes games (god help me, why!!! ???)
      Has Track got any of the above mentioned, i doubt it. The Vectrex was only out for, like, a week!
      Also, strip monopoly, but that just me

        I voted SNES.

        Super Ghouls & Ghosts has got to be the best game ever invented. Plus, it has the greatest level music (first level) known to man. Love that game.

        Anyone remember a console called GX-4000? I only had 2 games for it, *censored* Tracey & Burnin' Rubber. Both good time wasters, but decent enough games.

        I voted Nintendo 64.
        After playing the greystation one the N64 was a god send.
        Resident Evil 2 etc, Conkers Bad Fur Day, Shadowman. This was the machine that turned me from a part-time gamer to a serious hardcore gamer.

        LONG LIVE NINTENDO.

          My favorite would have to be N64. I've played others like NES or SNES, but N64 always was what held my attention the most.  My favorite games for it would have to be of course Goldeneye, TWINE, SOTE, Rush 2049, and Mario Kart 64.  I still play these games and others today.  Ebay is a great place to find old games and accessories for systems long gone from store shelves.

          It's funny to me that N64 is listed as a retro console.

            Excuse my ignorance, I know TWINE is The World is not Enough, but what is SOTE
