Bunch of games on the Atari 2600. I don't even know their names. There was the racing one I remember distinctly (the one with the lame fog at some stages where you couldn't see sh*t) and the one with the top-down view fighter jet that had fuel pickups n stuff. Oh yeah and the original Pitfall. Um... Battlezone I think? It was this fake 3D tank game.
Hang on, just pick a bunch of games randomly from this list [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Atari_2600_games]. You'll probably get most of the games I had on the 2600. Must've been 1986. One button and a stick was all you needed.

All around the same time, but there was:
Combat on the Atari 2600
Ms. Pacman and Burgertime at the local burger joint.
Omega (something) on teh Vic-20.
That's where I got hooked.
(Yeah, I'm old. Now get off my lawn)

A thousand games on a 5 1/4 on that holiest of relics, the Commodore 64. I would still be playing it today if I hadn't thought it was a good idea to play in a thunderstorm. Oh, the sparks they did fly. Lode Runner, River Raid, Agent USA, a million Pac-Man and Qbert clones, before cloning games was cool, and the great * 8. Or was it 8*... or... was it just *? Oh my god, don't let me lose my memories of the good life! ... when I was 5.
I don't remember HOW it worked, but I do remember having a little black cartridge I could plug in to make it easier to run games. Or perhaps to pirate games, I didn't know back then. If anything was made to cause pirating issues, it was that grey plastic box with the light blue screen.

First I was gonna say Pokemon, then I was gonna say Tekken 3 (ruuuulllzzzz!!!11) but then I remembered...
Our old computer, with Windows 95, it had this skiing game where you just go downhill. You could go over dogshit, jump off ramps, crash into trees and other people and something else. And after a certain amount of time, a mutated super-werewolf jumped to the screen, ate the character and stayed there just jumping, celebrating its victory. It didn't traumatize me, I just thought it was funny as hell.

No idea but if memory serves it was some arcade vehicle shooter game, one of the levels was like a giant chess board and you were shooting at shit from the back of a motorbike maybe? There were flying levels feck knows.
Was for the Genesis/Mega Drive that much I'm certain of.
