lol.

When i was a kid my favorite game was a Pachinko machine. Mine was quite a bit different than this one if i remember, but you get the idea. I think it's still at my Dad's house in the garage. I should take it onto Pawn stars and have an expert appraise at it 5k. Then Rick can offer me 50 bux.

My first video game system was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-99/4A

Parents/grandparents had me convinced this was a "toy" for years

First gaming console to have played then I moved on to the Sega Genesis because my parents had gotten me one for my birthday. Video game consoles have been around since the 70's, I'm shocked to see so many people without them in their childhood. Other games like Pogs, four square, pokemon cards, magic cards... where also popular at my time but mostly on the school play grounds.

oh yea almost forgot the original gameboy(No colour) it was pretty popular at my time also, playing Pokemon in black and white lol I remember trading a whole pack of Pokemon cards on the playground to get one of these.

I often played outside when I was a kid. Going to the small river nearby with my friends and building stuff, or going to the playground.

And this was my first gameboy and the first game I played (still love Tetris )
