Early game devices you grow up with?

seems like that tandy was kind of an USoA c64 equivalent.

Other than the little handhelds, my first gaming console was a Telestar Arcade.  That gave way to the Oddysee 2, 2600, & TRS-80.

Our first Computer (other than TRS-80) was a Tandy TL/2.  We had Kings Quest IV, Indy and the last Crusade, Chuck Yeager Flight Training (still have it), and a drag racing game.

Apart from early arcade games and pinballs...

My first gaming devices were:
1) Radio Shack TV Scoreboard (Pong game w/Light Gun)
2) An LED Football portable game (didn't like football but it's a game!)
3) Merlin

Followed by 2600, Pac-Man watch, various Radio Shack LCD games, VIC-20, Chase'N'Counter, Dad's IBM Turbo AT (he did CAD work so EGA instead of CGA), TRS-80 CoCo3, C-64, Amiga, SMS, SNES, etc...

I played a lot of the labyrinth game (the wooden kind with the ball bearing and the movable field) when I was a kid, then there was an electronic bowling game I would play all the time too.  I can't find it online but think my parents still have it.

The first major gaming I ever had was the C64, which is still sitting all boxed up in it's original packaging back at my parents place.  That was a family thing, but I used it the most.  Then eventually I got a NES and went console gaming ever since.  After the NES I had a Genesis which I saved up forever to buy as a kid, I didn't get into Turbo and PCE until well after it was dead.

CoCo <X------|-------->C64



I was hooked when my cousin had the TRS-80 all in one monitor/keyboard/disk drive system and we played and wrote programs in Microsoft Basic.

I remember one of the first BBS's I started visiting back in the early 90's ran off a CoCo. That alone impressed me enough to keep going back to it.
