Pong

Pong. Boy that makes me feel old.

Something on my uncle's Atari computer in the early 80s. A BASIC program where you were supposed to drop bombs from planes onto ships. When you missed, he wrote the code to display some dirty words, which he promptly changed after I laughed at it.

After that I had a ColecoVision with 33 games, and then a NES1 with maybe 20 games. Wish my mom hadn't given them away.

Never got into video games after that. They started to get too complicated and look too real in my opinion. I prefer the crappy graphics and simple music when it was all about the gameplay.

Yes, once it went from basic joystick level to having to push this button and that button and remember quickly how to do everything, I was lost and no more video games for me.
And @Sportster - I absolutely loved Pong and could have played it continuously if someone else would have played with me. But my husband, at the time, said that it would leave marks on your tv screen. Do you know if that was true?
