Oh yeah! The 2600 and the more advanced 7800!
Pole Position was great. There was this Activision Hockey game where you could win the draw and get a goal by knocking it off the boards. It was flawed, but my brother and I tried to beat each others high score. I think we broke 50 goals in 3 minutes or some nonesense like that.
Super Pacman on the 7800 was cool. Frogger, Donkey Kong... Oh yeah....
Am I dating myself yet? Do I have to admit that I saw Wargames before Matt Broderick entered puberty?

Space Invaders and Centipede!! Ahhh, Atari.
I got Frogger and Centipede for the PS1 (about 12 years ago).

There was this crazy game called Burger Time where the goal was to make burgers, kept me entertained for hours! And Dig Dug!

Forgot Centipede. Frustrating game for me. I was only 9 when I played... I was fascinated by the snake motion.. I was much better at sport games...

OMG! I totally forgot about this... You are so right, mindless and repetitive.... But addictive..
Palm, Tetris came out on Atari or Nintendo? I can't remember... Dad got hooked on playing Super Pacman on the 7800 in the mid 80's, got pissed one night because he couldn't make it past level 4 and kicked the hell out of it... lol... That was the last video game I played in our house for many years.....
*sigh* I am such a nerd.... But I miss those games....

I think Tetris started on Nintendo....????
I'm a closet nerd. My daughter and I play Sims all the time, too. Our big plan when she visits next week is to buy Sims 3 for each of us.....

I have tetris on my first cell phone. I still play it. Keep the phone just for the tetris. My favorite video games were Super Nintendo B.O.B., Super Mario 2 with the Princess and pulling up plants and throwing them and Harley's Big Adventure. I remember when my sister bought a Pong for her kids. I also remember playing it at a department store.
