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?

    I remember being in a friend’s house. He asks me if i knew what golden eye is. I said no, and so he takes me to his room. He turns on the tv, so I ask “oh we are going to watch a james bond movie?” He laughs and says no, and presses a button on a wierd plastic box that suddenly comes to life! The tv suddenly changes, and some wierd scene plays until we get to something that looks like a dvd menu. He then gives me a wierd ass controller.

    I then spent the day figuring how to stop looking up while running away from my friend headshotting me repeatadly while giggling like a schoolgirl. I enjoyed every second of it. My brain was firing up and never have I felt so excited to even being aware of such an experience existing.
