You don't even need an Atari computer. Atarisoft published software on the C-64 with titles like Pac-Man, Pole Position, Donkey Kong, Dig-Dug and Kangaroo. It was like they were trying to put their own hardware out of business.

My first system was a NES, but the first one that I owned by myself was a Sega Genesis with Sonic the Hedgehog.
My folks bought an NES when I must have been in 1st or 2nd grade. The NES was the first system I ever saw, at a friend's house. I couldn't believe that we could play games on a TV!!! Lol
I saved up a long time and bought myself a Genesis when I was in 5th grade. I got a VA-7 with Sonic 1 included, plus Sonic 2 in the mail!
The dates of purchase appear close to each other as I write this, but for me, they were completely different eras!
The Genesis of course we had an NES too but I never played it.
My first was the Multimega but before that I played on my brother's Amiga 500 and snes
My First System was the TI99/4a (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI99/4a)
Played the heck out of that thing wore out a few of the joys sticks not from abuse but from regular everyday use.. First games i had for it were Donkey Kong, Defender and Amazeing... not to mention all of the great Tape games.. good times indeed...
