I've got pretty much all the emulators I could get.
So many rom sites too. It's bizarre going back to games you spent so much time on younger, to find they are not half as good as you felt they were.
Mike Read's Pop Quiz was better in the annals of my mind.
We are blessed to have been born to the start of computer games. Kids today have it easy, when we lost all our lives in a game, we had to start from the beginning. I always beat my kids at modern computer games because games were harder in our day.
Even when you know, you never know?

My first gaming experiences started on this.
Anyone else remove the rubber cover on the stick itself and stick it on their forehead and pretend they were a dalek?
I had plenty of training on how to throw games, having an older brother who would literally smash the joystick on my head if I ever dared to beat him at Gary Lineker's Superstar Soccer.

I used to play the Decathlon game on that with a mate and we'd pull the most strange faces wriggling the joystick back and fore as fast as you could.We'd fight over it as one of us would be laughing whilst the other does the 100m dash.We agreed to turn our backs when we were doing it.
Defender on that was a great game and in the arcade.

The twist controllers for games like pong and warlords.
Combat and Pitfall were easily some of the greatest games ever made.

Came with the unit, or with Pong, one of the two.....my memory is hazy after 35 years :P
I remember Pitfall but only had 2 games on the Atari and they were Defender and Track and Field.My favourite arcade game was Phoenix.They had it in the Afan Lido and I spent most of my days playing that and Defender.

Get a decent emulator (clotanto's amiga forever), and the right kickstart and you can relive those hazy days if on pc, even can download emulator for a tablet too.
Talking about Kickstart! One of my faves
The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Anyone else play this (around 10 years old), get the comedy, and wrongly believe themselves to be somehow sophisticated
Still looks like fun mind!
Guilty as charged, also had every other LSL made, all the point and click games (including the VGA remake of the first, and the recent reloaded remake), even have the two not written by Al Lowe (not classic adventure style) and not as funny.
I loved adventure games growing up, and Sierra were amongst my favourite series, LSL, Space Quest, Kings Quest etc.
