This and my TRS-80 were my first foyer into electronic gaming.
Same first "system" here! I am glad at someone else remembers this "system" too! I was pobably five or six when my dad brought this gaming beast home and we all loved it. The fat kid, that always had jelly on his face, living down the street from us had a real Pong system and I remember him making fun at us for having this Radio Shack crap! He was the same little punk who got an Intelivision system and a Green Machine four years later, while the rest of us were rocking the Atari 2600 and Big Wheels. I hope to someday run into jelly-face as an adult and give him the royal ass whipping he deserves, 33 years later!
Ahh, that's hard to remember. I'd have to say Sim Ant, a nice little colony builder/red vs. black ants game from Maxis, included with two other games in one of those $5 bargain bin packs. Hey, the game was still good lol! After that, Age of Empires (I and II).
It was either Breakout on the Atari 2600, or it was asteroids on the A 2600?
Problem is I started at 5 and that was a long 26 odd years ago!

Oh dear lord.....the first video game I ever played was Pong on the massive Pong home console. I completely blame my father for my need to have to very newest and coolest electronics. lol

I think my first would have been 'Lunar Lander' played on my Boeing engineer fathers programmable Hewlett Packard calculator (1967 or so?). Then probably Pong > next Asteroids in the crews lounge of the USS America sometime in the late 70's > and finally a game called Zaxxon on my C64. When I first got that C64 it had a cassette tape drive!
Pfff first game cant really remember, i started with commadore 64 with a tape cassete and waiting for it to load for 20 minutes just to fail on me and try again. can remember playing pole position, park patrol, pitfall, ninja gaiden and such but my real first cant really remember. With the tape so easy to copy from one and other i ended up with 100's of games so dunno what i played 1st really
