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 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.

When I was little, I used to create a Nintendo controller out of Tinker Toys and "play" by looking at my aquarium and pretend to move the fish around. When my mom found me doing that, I got an NES soon after. :)

Typing a BASIC program from a magazine into the Comodore 64 we got for Xmas. Sprites chasing each other across the screen or something, the memory is a little pixelated.

Actually, I take that back, my grandparents had a PONG system, lots of Atari 2600 time over the years, never mind the stand-up game time, having to get quarters together and bike down to the local arcade.

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.

Was about 2-3 year old. Sat on my dad's lap while he was on the computer. Handed me the controls to some driving game. Been hooked on computers ever since. Thanks Dad. ^_^
