Hello! My name is Thor. (I chose that name for my alias years before the movie)

I've listened to Retro Gaming Round Up for 2 years, and I love every episode lol. I don't really know what I should talk about... lol

I've always loved classic gaming, but the only retro consoles I own are an NES and N64 :/

Uhm so... Any questions feel free to ask! lol

If I may make a suggestion, UK Mike should do a review of The Sims 1, or maybe you guys could do a top ten Maxis games?

Not as long ago as my first... the Atari VCS some time around 1978/1979... followed by a steady progression of consoles from that point on.

I was probably about 10 or 11 when I first played the Atari VCS.

Just a little historical note for you, the Atari VCS (Video Computer System) is the original name of the Atari 2600. They only started calling it the 2600 a few years after it's initial release.

You should pick one up. They aren't very expensive. And with a multi-cart (like The Harmony Cartridge (http://harmony.atariage.com/)), you can have pretty much all the games in one place, ready to play.
