An old off-brand Pong TV console from the 1970s. At the time, it was just neat making things move on a TV screen, plus it was something my family would play with me.

We also had a TRS-80, which was a computer platform that made its debut in 1977. The games I had on that were clones of popular arcade games. There was a Pac-Man clone, a Frogger clone, a Scramble clone, and a Galaxian clone. I actually liked the clones of Galaxian (Galaxy Invasion) and Scramble (Penetrator) better than the arcade originals.

The first actual game I can remember playing, possibly except for the TRS-80 stuff, was Donkey Kong in the arcade.
