Those side by side comparisons are pretty cool. My first game was pong, lol.

My all time favorite arcade games were Spyhunter, 1942, and who can forget Street Fighter?!?!

Mike Tyson's punchout on Nintendo was the shizzle!

I remember playing an arcade game called elevator action.... i must have put 10,000 bucks into that.... and poll position..... asteroids..... etc.....

My favorite Nintendo games were RC Pro AM, Excitebike, Punch out, Kung Fu, and Duck Tales lol. It's pretty funny looking at them side by side.

Kung Fu, Ghosts and Goblins and Altered beast are probably my all time favs. Along with the Rbi baseball series.

I used to spend many hours playing NBA Jams on the original sega, and we thought that was the poop back then.

Anyone have the original Coleco that was yellow and only had pong and break out on it? I grew up threw Atari, Intellivision, Nintendo...and who can forget the Commodore 64 with Farmer's Daughter? Funny after getting Godfather (PS2) for my b'day and playing it last night it's just amazing what video games have evolved into! Hell you create your own character now in Godfather and you can change everything about him from how how his cheek bones are, jaw width, scars, etc...
