Is that Goldeneye on the Nintendo64?

Used to play nintendo64 for hours everyday at daycare when I was in elementary school. Out of the James Bond games I always prefered The World Is Not Enough though. We'd play multiplayer for like 6 hours straight.

God that was fun. Smash Brothers, Star Fox, Kirby, Pokemon...

 

[Darth Cruel]

Ah, the picture-taking days...

I was in heaven when I got mine.


But seriously, y'all. Ain't one of ya got a claim to "old" until you can claim that your video game life started here...

"Beep...beep...beep...

Armor Battle for Intellivision. Loved that game too. Or that could be Atari's version.

Video games? electricity? you all had it easy.

I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down at the mill, and pay the mill owner for permission to come to work. And when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.

You try and tell the young people of today that, and they won't believe ya.

you played with a Lite-Brite.

I loved my lite brite. That was an awesome invention.

My first collectibles:

Holly Hobbie - everything...rag dolls, vinyl dolls, tea sets, books, sewing patterns for dresses and patchwork quilts, games, etc...

I remember my mom sewing me a bonnet and patchwork dress similar to this. Kinda a cross between Holly Hobbie and Laura Ingalls from Little House on the Prairie. I loved that outfit.

I think my mom made the majority of my clothes until I was in 8th grade. Though I do remember getting a pair of A Smile jeans in 6th grade. One of the happiest days of my childhood.

We loved our Intellivision! I think my brother still has it, too.

Loved baseball, bump n jump, donkey kong and of course....pitfall!

I LOVED BUMP'N'JUMP ON INTELLIVISION AND THE VOICE BOX THING THAT MADE THE GAME TALK!

OMG I am talking in Caps... RAWR!!!

 

[UTtoyfan]

I thought I was an old timer, but looking at the things in this thread I guess not!! Either that or my family didn't have the means to buy these things (most likely the latter).
I've never heard of the Intellivision thing until I just read this thread.
My first video game system was Nintendo!
And I started with a VCR in 1986 for my movie addiction.

I had a Pulsar. Thought it was the coolest thing in the world at the time.
