I’m 6-7. I’m at my grandparents house. He’s got one of those old-timey Pong consoles that you plug into the TV; it had like 5-6 different ‘sport’ modes (Tennis, Squash etc etc), but ultimately it was still a few pixels moving up and down or maybe left and right.

And it was amazing.

What’s your earliest gaming memory?

    Seeing an Atari 2600, the original woodgrain model, at my cousin’s house and playing Space Invaders, Adventure and the one with cowboys.

    I was convinced the cartridges contained reels of film, but I couldn’t figure out how to make that work with all the different possibilities. I was only 4 or 5 at the time.

    My cousin opened up a cartridge and I was amazing to see the circuit board with a couple of chips on inside. Blew my mind.
