Some cheesy video arcade game in the mid-70s. :Q There was an orange ray-like sea creature projected (I think) onto a plain background, and the player uses a "gun" to shoot at it.

Definitely Pong on the Pong console. Dang, this thread just made me feel old and I am only 36. I can remember getting the paddle in just the right position so that you could walk off and it would just keep on going. If you think back to all the games that we have played and how they looked back then, man, the games that we are playing now are just incredible.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane InstincT.

Some game on Atari 5200. I don't remember the name, but I think it might have been Gorf or something. There was this pink mummy thing and you scratched walls and sometimes the mummy would be behind the wall, and other times it would be treasure. I don't remember anything else about it.

I don't even know the name of the game or the system it was on. I was probably about 6, the screen colors were orange, and it was a game with a helicopter of sorts. You dropped bombs and had to shoot stuff down that got in your way.

Was going to say this but realized that my Zaxxon and Dig-Dug days predated that. (though I did get my NES when it first came out in 84')
