Did you have an Atari 2600? At the time (early eighties), it seemed like the most sophisticated video game festival you could ever desire…such a quantum leap up from Pong. I had one. In fact, I'm pretty sure I still have it, though if you pointed a rifle at me, I couldn't tell you where it is. But somewhere in this house (or more likely, one of my storage units), there's a box containing an Atari 2600, the controllers for it and about fifty game cartridges. It may no longer work and I'll probably never hook it up again to find out. But it was just too neat a little device to throw it away now.
The most-played was Adventure in which you got to assume the role of a little square that navigated a maze-like kingdom, trying to elude two dragons who looked like seahorses. You had to search for a glowing chalice and it helped if you could use the sword (which looked like an arrow) and a magic bridge…and it helped to avoid the bat which could every so often fly in and swap some item for whatever you were holding.
I'm boring myself just describing it but trust me: It was addictive and fun. It won't be when you play it online at this site but it was then. For some reason.
