Not sure what my first was called.

It had 2 controllers with a knob, 2 players only.

The controllers were hard wired and they were thick telephone ones.

In it there was a white dot on a black screen that moved back and forth. The console had a setting to speed up the dot. On the left and right side were white lines that the controllers could move up and down be turning the knobs clockwise or counterclockwise. The objective was to keep the white dot from getting pass your side.

No idea what it was called. Basically air hockey game with a wide goal line or a narrow playing field.

There were loads of different pong machines, sounds similar to one that is at my grandparents.

For me, my first gaming experience was the Commodore 64 with my big brother. I was probably about 7 at the time? So nearly 3 decades of gaming for me now!

25 years or so, I think. I got a Game Boy with Kirby's Dream Land as a kid at age 5. Couldn't ever beat the blimp boss and my brother had to beat it for me.

Proudest moment in a big brothers life, when he can rip it out of his mates that his sister is better than them at shit!

Artari 2600 was a new system we got in our home. The other one was an old one.

Asteriods was a favorite game, so was Prison break.
