All you did was play pong. Well you had switches that you flicked that would set up foot ball or squash. Make the bats small or big game fast or slow.
I also had a Spectrum after that. Never got it to work. Kept getting "Tape load ERROR" my dad has used a Commador and Spectrum and other in the past even doing the build up a game to play from a magazine by programming it yourself.
After that it was the Master system a year or two befor the Megadrive/Genisis came out.
So yeah considering I am 23 I seem to have a very diffrent game start for people my age.

My parents owned a Sears Pong deck back in the day. They later owned an Atari 2600. My first console that I played outside of my parents was an Apple II that I used in college (loved Ultima IV). The first that I owned was a NES (loved Final Fantasy).
By the way, I'm 45.
Loved some of those oldie games hehe
My first system was an NES, and I got it before I was born.
When my grandparents heard my parents were expecting they decided to get me a good toy to play with, the hot new thing at the time was a new video game machine so they got one for me that I could play with when I was old enough. My parents lost entire weekends to it before I was born, afterwards too, or so they claimed. Before I was old enough to play I would watch my parents play, I actually learned to read watching my Dad play the Legend of Zelda, I've grown up with games ever since, they've become a lifelong joy to me really.
Video games have been a joy to have in my life and I think that that NES was the best gift anyone has ever gotten me, it has certainly has had the most impact.

I'm 20, and if we're talking handhelds it would be the Gameboy 'brick'. If consoles are more your thing... Sega Genesis.
I'm 18, and the 1st system I had was my dad's NES, with Super Mario, Duck Hunt, and all the classics.
Nintendo 64 was the first console that I actually owned. I'd played around with a friend's sega a bunch before that though.
I'm 17 and my first system was a N64 but I also had a computer with a bunch of really awesome games.
I am 17 and my first "system" was this old Dell Computer. First game was Grimm Fandango!
WOOHOO first forum post ever!

19 and I don't know the name of it, it was a Sega that had a joystick controller and was before the 64 was made as it was my second.
