My father worked at Coleco, so we had the Colecovision and practically every game that was released for it and all of the peripherals. I was gaming before I could read. Also, we had an Intellivision, but I only played two games on that: Pitfall and Slalom Skiing.
We became a Nintendo family after Coleco went under. We did have the Genesis, but it hardly got any play time. I think Toe Jam and Earl, Battletoads, and Mortal Kombat (with the blood code entered) were the only games I played on it.
While on the topic of retro gaming, did anyone else play Blackthorne for the SNES? That game was one of my all-time favorite SNES games.
My End of 2008 Hardware Predictions (console only):
Wii : 50 million
360: 28 million
PS3: 24 million
These predictions were made on January 3rd and won't be revised
