Man this brings me back.
In my house we always had weird gaming consoles
Started with a Colecovision
My favorite games on that were Lady Bug and Mouse Trap, both were sorta like Pacman but actually in my opinion much better. We also had Donkey Kong, DK Jr, Zaxxon and a bunch of others
We soon added the dreaded Adam Computer which was a complete POS and ran everything off of tapes that always broke. We had that stupid game Dam Busters that was impossible.
There was also an awesome game where you started on a chess board with a bunch of pieces each with special powers, when you moved to a square with your opponent on it- you would face off 1:1 to see how got the square. I remember one character threw a boulder, another shrieked (the banshee). Does anyone else remember that game?
Anyhoo later on I got a Commodore 64 and had TONS of games. Loved it.
Never had the popular consoles - always had this weird stuff that made finding games to buy really hard.
