One was Teddy Boy, we used to be sooooo addicted to it. Then there was a game where your character walked through a haunted house and if you walked past a coffin a vampire would come out and attack you, but sort of swooping attacks so you had to jump under a light bulb and that would make the vampire freeze and then you could beat the snot out of him. Then there was another game I think it might have been called Kung Fu and you just walked along kicking the crap out of everyone you came across.

I dont think he was very sharing Then we got a 7800 which had better graphic and played all of our 2600 games To be continued

Minister of Railways Posts: 1,324 Group: Sir Topham Hatt Member #46 Joined: May 13, 2007	My first gaming experience, on my own gaming system, was an Atari 2600... The "new" smaller black unit, not the huge faux-woodgrain one... (Which I did get given one after I got our 2600) Got Pitfall with it. Eventually got all the classics, Dig Dug and so on. Moved up to a Playstation 1 after that. Then went the PC route, an Amstrad 286, with a massive 1MB of RAM, was my first computer. Wolfpac
