I got an Atari 2600 in 1979 but I had pong before that, probably a year before so that will make 30 years.

Still rubbish at it, unless its invisible tanks in Combat!

I have been gaming for about 27-28 years. My brother and I had a 4 game pong machine. I think Coleco made it, but not sure. After that we got an Atari 2600 for Christmas and I have been hooked on games ever since. Im not as hardcore as I used to be but I still game when I can.

I had the Coleco too! That was the colour one wasnt it? Got that second after the black and white one died.

Mine had a black and white display. I think the console itself had some gold trim or something and I remember a game on it called "jai alai" (sp?).

HAHA there it is! I was wrong about the gold trim, but at least I did remember it was made by Coleco.

Telestar was a gateway drug for me.
