Nice quote JBO (I`m older than you ). Believe it or not back in the Atari days 80 - 81 I didn`t like at all, I used they to say ugly pictures and stuff like that, didn`t know the word GRAPHICS back then
Around the early 80`s I used to play VG for time to time but just to try it out and have fun. I think I`m not the only one who thought about this back then, in 83 I had the late 80`s, early 90`s arcade and SNES VG graphics in my head, the duel in SW-ROTJ was the first thing as a game with this graphics in my mind.
Since 86 I had a Nintendo`s Game & Watch units plus few home computers including the Japanese MSX, this computer with Konami together made me love and changed my view of VG forever. Yes till today Konami is No. 1 VG company and Salamander is my always fave/No. 1 game of all time.
So guys any of you still have favorite game of all time ?
