What started my video game addiction...

It was some time ago when it all started but I couldn't really recall any actually moment until I stumbled across some old pictures I scanned a few years back. Take a look.[View Image]

There she is, the Atari 5200. I had a few friends later that showed me the 2600. Both fun but I enjoyed the 5200 because that's the system I had for my first few video gaming years.

When and what was your first video game moment that you can remember?

Wow, that goes back before my days but I know all about it. There was a great 2 hour special on CSNBC about the history of video games back in Nov. I was glued to the TV with such interest.

Mine was the atari 2600! I had spent many hours at the demo area at Sears playing Target Fun as a child. Then lo-and-behold there was one under our tree one year. Not only did we have Target Fun, but my parents got me and my brother Combat as well!
