old games console?
 

just been having a conversation with someone about old games consoles we had when we where young


does anyone have a clue what sort of console this person is describing?

had one of those very early game machines with the football ,tennis

Shaz says:
amiga?
Shaz says:
or a commodore?

before them

Shaz says:
lol i thought the amiga was the first one

it was black and white on the tv, just a white bar going up and down the screen
Shaz says:
yeah i know which game you mean but i cant think which games console it would have been

it had a big knob to change the programme
Shaz says:
that was a joystick
no it was a big switch thing

it had football , tennis ,skeet , squash that i can remember . skeet, you had a gun to shoot at the screen



anyone any ideas? cos i'm stumped

I had something like that - did you have to plug it into the TV. I think it was orange and had cartridges that you put into a slot in the top. Played tennis mostly - basically two square paddles and a square ball.
