I remember when games were on cassette, and the screaming sound they'd make as they loaded. The box artworks were often amazing, though took a fair amount of artistic liberties with the blocky, 3-4 colour graphics games had.

The Super Nintendo - the ones where you had to blow all over for the game to work.

Super Mario 3 was amazing on that!

Sega as well..

super mario brothers 4 actually, mario 3 was part of the all stars package

I still play snes games..on occasion with better graphics(well in high res)(no slow down etc), games like pilot wings, almost all mario games,zelda,Chronotrigger,bomberman2,secret of mana(a 3 player rpg!),super metroid.. the list goes on

I've always been a nintendo..from the first nes..and so on..unfortunately their own success will be their demise in sales wars, but they do make the best games, everything I see now, ps4,xbox one bores me...happy not want the 'cooler' consoles to be honest

2 hrs to load a game ??? if it was a console then it must have been the Commodore 64 Games System which was a cartridge based games console, so instant loading.

I had an Atari 2600 - frikin loved that machine. It was basically just different coloured blocks moving around on the screen. They would then call the coloured blocks pac-man or space invaders but it was essentially the same thing you had to imagine it was different.

My first console was the original Nintendo that came with Mario and duck hunt.

But my dad had a zx spectrum (although not a console) with the cassette player bit seperate that used to take forever to load a game, then he had the +2 with the cassette player built in then it changed to a floppy disc drive if memory serves!!! The first one had rubber keys lol x

Punched tape here, join the dots lol.

I did once have a 14k (really!)computer, designed a decent golf game on it, only problem was it had to store each hole and data on a cassette tape, one hole at once lol. Took forever to load.
