By my rather lengthy post, you'd think I had the game bug, but not really. I had to take care of cows, build fence, haul hay, mow 5 acres, cut, haul, split, and stack firewood, stayed busy with sports throughout the school year, and was a commercial roofer in the summers. In my day, video games were just something to do after work/chores were done and bedtime, which was not very long at my house, but it was fun. We only got about 5 TV channels on the antenna out in the boonies, so games were an alternative while the folks watched the boring news. We had the big TV in the living room and a about a 12-14 inch black and white Montgomery Ward TV for the Nintendo until I bought a color TV with my roofing money when I was about 16 yo. Good times indeed.

Does it animate for you or anyone else anymore? I miss those days and a surprising number of people miss my avatar too :)

For me it only animates if I click on it, otherwise static.
 
Personally, I found the animated version quite annoying.
 
My favorite was Defender. The one that always sticks in my head was Adventure, although it's not really a video game since it was text based. My father worked for Comshare, a computer time vendor in the 70's and would bring home a terminal that the phone headset plugged into to work from home and my brothers and I hogged it as much as possible.
 
Adventure is a great game, that's for sure.
