Well before the Nes. I'm not sure which was first. In the early 80's, there were a bunch of shitty LCD games that we used to play. Popeye, Astro Command, and Pac-Man are the ones I remember the most. Around the same time, I had some family members that owned Atari (maybe even Coleco--I can't remember) consoles connected to black and white TV's. Aside from Pac-Man, everything was horrible, though.
From there, I went into the Arcade scene. Donkey Kong, Kung Fu, Space Invaders, Galaga, Crystal Castles, Joust, etc. Eventually, I got an Nes. The rest is video game history.
