My first video game system was an NES, then I got an SNES later on. The first game I ever played:



It was on the copy of Mario Bros that came with that other Mario game, and I played this instead of the actual game for a little while.

Some more handhelds:

I rocked this one:


Who could forget "Ball catch!". Yeah! Gimme sum a that!

If you wanna talk rage inducers, this was it. I remember having one of these growing up.

Anyone remember when the most important car audio accessory was one of these?

Yes. As 8-Tracks wore out, that would push the magnetic tape into the metal tabs for better clarity.

iirc

Oh you miniature plastic bagatelle games, how I seemed to get you every single Christmas and birthday despite never asking for you once.

I deleted that one. Guess you caught it before it was toast.

Another annoying thing about 8 tracks was how songs would get split up between tracks.

"I've been dazed and confused for so long......



"CLICK"



...... it's not true."

The Nes was great, it had unique games that never got remade again like Skate or Die, Crash-n-the boyz, Star tropics, Friday the 13th, Arch-rival and even PC ports like Maniac mansion.

The first game i remember playing from the Nes was Contra.



One of the best co op games ever made, you could even troll friends by dying and stealing their lives and stealing the 'S' when you clearly had it already

I edited my response.

I used to make 8-Track mix tapes, and would try to time the songs so that didn't happen.

I remember it more as an alignment issue. Without the matchbook you would hear the main track as well as a portion of the adjacent track.
