I remember playing Pong on a very early home console that friends of my parents had. It was very basic but had two analog controllers so you could play against each other. It had a few built-in games (tennis, ping-pong etc) which were just slight variations on the same theme. This would have been in 1978-79 and I was about four years old.

I had to go to the hospital when i was like 5 years old and at some point during my stay i was given a suppository. I had no idea what it would do, so at one point I was alone in my room and turned my new Game Boy on to play some super mario land (still like to play it to this day).
Thing is, I was concentrating very hard to get the jump over the first cliff right, and when I pressed jump real hard.... I shit myself.
Man, the nurse was pissed. Anyway, I still have to think about shitting myself whenever I play 1-1 of super mario land. :|

Playing Ocarina of Time and having my brother beat the deku tree boss for me. I have since surpassed my brother in video game skill, but it's humbling to think at one point I depended on someone else.

I remeber my parents bringing home a very early gaming console. I think it used cartridges for the games. I remember you could play pong on it. It had joysticks that were very thin and loose. After that I got a C64 and I've never looked back.
