What's your first gaming memory? (feddit.uk)

I'm 6-7. I'm at my grandparents house. He's got one of those old-timey Pong consoles that you plug into the TV; it had like 5-6 different 'sport' modes (Tennis, Squash etc etc), but ultimately it was still a few pixels moving up and down or maybe left and right.

And it was amazing.

What's your earliest gaming memory?

Oooff, it's long enough ago that I have some vague memories or Lemmings and (a clone of) digdug on the Amiga, a ZX spectrum game where you could morph between plane and car (Swif? That had a concept similar to it). Tank on the Atari2600. I mean, I know the Spectrum is older one there, but I really don't know which was first for me.

My most solid early gaming memory is Toejam and Earl on the megadrive. Getting it for my birthday, and finishing it some 5 years later.

Another is seeing my older brother play the orignal Alone in the Dark, and finding it sufficiently scary that I had nightmares for days.
