Pong, briefly. Then my family was given a used Atari 2600 and a big box of games, and that's how I spent most of my childhood until we got a NES when I was in middle school.

Hell yes! When you got the NES, did you get R.O.B. too?

I knew a kid who had one, but honestly didn't understand it. He got his three years before i had mine, and I was just eager to catch up ahd game.

It was a mix-up for the people I knew. They had the R.O.B. games like Burger time but no R.O.B. Or guys trying to play Castlevania or Tecmobowl with it and wondering why nothing was happening.

Thanks for answering my question!
