definitely had the paddle pong console before that
The grandstand I think it was called. My dad has always been a technology geek, so he had one of those before I was born. This meant that I began geek training playing with pong before I could even talk properly. Then I moved onto the ZX81 when I was around 5, etc. etc.

:D

I had both the Atari VCS and grandstand pong - I just chose A.

That's so ageist.

funny, I said exactly the same thing to romault last night when I did the quiz. Pong was the first game I played and it was definitely still in the 70's.
