My, that is nice question. My first memory of gaming was the Commodore 64. The first games i was allowed to play at my uncle was Fort: Apocalypse and Blue Max. All the superstition people had at the time when the cassette player and the rickety tapes didn't load the game. Fun times! People sitting very still on the chair as to not move and make vibrations and hoping nobody switched the light on or off with the result the game would load or would not load... These are the mid-eighties and 'Europe' just had a hit song with "The Final Countdown". The hairdo from the singer was perfectly normal at that time, haha

didn't get to play but watched the neighbor kid play. memorizing to 4 year old me.
I must've been 3 or 4 years old, and we had gotten a C64 from a relative. My brother was playing, and I was sitting next to him watching all the time. I remember Giana Sisters and some game where you were swinging from one liana to another. I think the floppy for that game was a yellow color, with a leopard pattern possibly..? And the game action went right to left, not left to right. So you were moving your character to the left. Which kinda stuck with me over the years because it seemed unusual.

When my little bro and I opened a box from an older brother and it was Super Pong! Then the fights about how to connect it to the TV - many engineers in the family and it was before we had a switcher box - so you literately had to screw the two connectors on the TV.
Then we played the 4 versions of Super Pong! Regular pong, doubles pong, the reverse where you eat the dot, and the single kind against the wall. Two people had to sit right next to each other to use the device as there was just one controller (it was the entire console) with two wheels on it.
