My Dad got a copy of some magazine which had every game released listed at the back and made me go through and circle the ones I was interested in so he could approve them. It was utterly open to abuse as a system.
It had four levels and I never completed level 3 with Lady fucking Penelope, I've wanted to know what the fourth level was like for nearly 20 years now.
It was in a bank and you had to do safe breaking but there was some security camera which shot you which you had to distract with a clockwork mouse or some such nonsense.
In terms of hardware, anyway. The 7800 was backward compatible with the 2600. And that's about all it was good for, cos no-one made games for the 7800, cos it wasn't very successful, cos there there better consoles for your money by then.
I loved my atari lynx, but then got bored and swapped it with a kid at my school (who was incidentially Jamie Olivers cousin or something) for his Nike Air Max's that he'd just got for christmas and didn't like.

if my mum ever sells that house i think she'll have to tell the prospective buyers that it's build upon an ancient tamagotchi burial ground
machine that was either Phillips or Panasonic or something. It must have been late 80's. Anyway I think he only had one game that was a platform game where a Penguin or Eskimo ran into the screen jumping over cracks in the ice and so on.

Hey, did any of you lot have the Thunderbirds game?
It had four levels and I never completed level 3 with Lady fucking Penelope, I've wanted to know what the fourth level was like for nearly 20 years now.
I'm still not confident I'd be able to complete it today on the eve of my 26th year

i'm probably the only one.
Pipe Mania & Prince of Persia
What I'll always remember
about Prince of Persia on the SAM Coupé is that sword fighting just involved holding down the attack key. The AI was terrible.
a terrible game i made for the Sam Coupe exists on somewhere on the internet
or if you happen to still have your Sam and your diskzines... FRED issue.... 31? i think. it's on there.
I probably still have the SAM in the loft at my parents' house
But I won't have the game :(
Atari 7800
I thought the 2600 was the better of the two
but that might have just been my parents telling me that because they'd bought me the cheaper one
7800 > 5200 > 2600
In terms of hardware, anyway. The 7800 was backward compatible with the 2600. And that's about all it was good for, cos no-one made games for the 7800, cos it wasn't very successful, cos there there better consoles for your money by then.

Wanted the A3010. Sent off for the promo floppy disc and everything.
With their ARM chips now used in smartphones and ever more laptops, they really were the future.

That if you used the barcode off the box of a SNES game, it let you play that particular game on your barcode battler.

Those Analog handheld games really were the best.
Even if it did just involve shaking it furiously
We had loads of Tomy water games like this.
After beating my little brother up once, he took revenge by carefully unplugging them all and pouring them all over my bed.

Anyone?
Some digging makes me think it might have been an MSX
and the game might have been Penguin Adventure.
Takes me back.
