Yeah pretty much. I was there for Pong as well.

I don't remember which system we had but:

(Note to everybody: don't bother watching the whole video. It doesn't get any more interesting)

Pong would make for an awesome live stream on Twitch!

Yes but it was the complete whole game with no DLC required to make a complete game, and it was thoroughly tested for reliability and smooth gameplay without bugs and glitches.


Knowing developers today , they would probably force you to buy the other side's paddle.

I wonder if you could get away with it calling it competitive Pong. I'm guessing you could.... .

I don't know what it was called, bouncing a ball at a wall of bricks to break the bricks on a Sinclair zx spectrum

Original Nintendo Mario. My big brother played Final Fantasy and I would watch but he never let me play.

Mario Bros., NES Classic

It wasn't mine, I played my mom and aunts.

This goes waaaaay back. I used to play "Hamurabi" on IBM mainframes before there were any arcade games or PCs. I also used to play Wolfenstein on earlier computers.

Playing GoldenEye 007 multiplayer on the N64 was my first ever videogame, stumbled into while at a friends house.

I spent most of the time trying to get to a laser while the older kids killed me back to back.

Video game? Atari 2600 games. I don't remember which was the first one. Computer games? "Hunt the Wumpus" was early but not the earliest one. Probably the earliest one was Hamurabi, another teletype game released in 1968 but I probably played it a bit later. Hammurabi Game - Play Hammurabi Online in case you want to experience what we did when we were out in the tall grass at the dawn of civilization.

Scramble (which was basically a knock off Missile Command) on Vectrex.

Pong. No system, a full size console table designed for two people to sit at.

Mario Kart on Nintendo 64.

Instant Classic.

Me and my cousins spent countless days completely absorbed by it.

It was a pretty big deal in college too a good 15 years after it came out.
