    Some kind of Pong game. I was really little and it was my grandmother’s, so I don’t even remember what the actual unit looked like.

    Then the Atari 2600 (my aunt’s), then the Atari 5200 (my grandmother’s - she was unstoppable at Pac-Man and could start from Cherry and work all the way up to nine keys without dying once).

    Then there was the day we rented an NES. That day changed my life.

    It was Super Mario Bros. Start the game. “Oh hey, the screen moves sideways! Good lord, this is a huge game.” Dies a bunch. Find pipe shortcut. “Oh wow!” Finally beat level 1-1. “Yay, I beat the game! Oh wait, World 1-2? WTF?!?!?”

    It’s hard to explain the feeling when the most immersive game you’ve ever played was Pitfall.

    Sim Farm on MS-DOS. I’m pretty sure it came on a 5 1/4 floppy disk.

    I vaguely remember an Atari and Pong, but that’s so hazy that I can’t be too sure.

    My first video game system that I ever bought was a NES. I got it back in 1986 I think.

    I had an off-brand pong, then got an Odyssey game console. Then got a Commodore 64 and played BC’s Quest for Tires for hours.

    Mega Man X on the SNES. I still have my cartridge. For the longest time, my parents had a poloroid of me playing it for the first time. Idk if they still know where it is.

    NES playing Sesame Street 123 and ABC. I had a controller in my hand at like 1 and a half. I’m not sure how much the memory is from that exact time, but I remember that game pretty well. I played a lot of classics too, Mario and Zelda, etc.

    My first memory was “hey, who chewed up this Atari 2600 controller?” Before realizing it was me…guess I was just forming memories at the time.
