I know a few geeks that would love to have those systems just for the collection aspect if not to play them still, graphics or not.

No guys, stop complaining about your age. The electronics industry has just fast forwarded at a rate nobody expected. Be proud that you were there for the start!!

Wish I’d saved it. I had an Atari. It had 64K of RAM, and on the box was the question, ’What are you gonna do with all of that memory?"

Time for the old joke: A Nintendo engineer, a Sega engineer, and an Atari engineer are vacationing together in a place where the only penalty for any infraction of the law is death. Somehow these guys find themselves on the wrong side of the law; and the Nintendo engineer is the first one to the guillotine. When the blade jams, he screams, “Ha! I know the law on executions here; you now have to release me!” And he runs like h-e-double hockey sticks. So they march the Sega engineer to the guillotine; and again the blade jams. “I’m outta here!” he cries and blows town. Finally they bring up the Atari engineer; and for the third time the blade jams as they try to execute their prisoner. The Atari engineer says, “Hold on here; I think I see your problem…”

I had one of the very first home video games, two “paddles” and tennis was the main game. It also came with color clings you put on the TV screen for color for the games.
And then I also owned a Timex Sinclair 1000, complete with a massive 16K memory module and a cassette tape back-up drive. High tech for the times actually.
