My first memory was at the mall, Sears I believe.  They had a NES contest there, using the game Duck Hunt who ever got to a certain score won a free NES Action set.  I can't remember the score anymore but back then it was more than I could ever get to   Later that day my Father surprised us and bought our very first Video game system, yup you guessed it.......  Atari 2600.  Well it was still cool for me back then.  about two years later we finally got the NES action set for Christmas.  I played that that system for hours and hours.  I still remember many great memorys playing the games from for it back than.
