Your first gaming memories, collected

Tron was the first arcade game I actively hated. The 7-11 on the corner had it and Ms. Pac-Man. On Sunday mornings, I had to go fetch the newspaper, but got the change to do whatever with. In a few short months, I could play Ms. Pac-Man for at least an hour on one quarter. So many banana levels. Just look at 'em. Tron essentially ate my quarters.

First gaming, same as many other commenters…Pong. It was a home version my dad brought home when I was 4 or 5. Shortly after, one of the local pizza joints got Space Invaders and Asteroids cabinets. Thusly, the course of history was set. Flash forward to present, and our house is stocked with Wii, Xbox and PS3 (not to mention a fairly kick-ass PC set up).
