Ha, that's the first one I recognise... Super Mario Bros.
I can never relate to these threads either because I never had any video game consoles... but I can't be the only one here who used to have and MSX2, right? Even though I don't think that ever really took off outside of Japan and a few countries in Europe (Philips for instance made them too).

One of my favourite MSX games (along with Metal Gear, Kings Valley, Usas, Vampire Killer and just about any other game made by Konami):
anyone know?
