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?

The day-care I went to when I was a little kid around 2007 had an old Super Nintendo hooked up to a giant CRT, which we'd all play Super Mario All Stars (+ World) on it, taking turns whenever we'd lose a life. I remember we'd go into the bonus vertical "1 in 3 chance of a 1UP" rooms in World and as we'd hit the blocks, we'd go "life, liiiiife, LIFE!" and celebrate if we hit the right block. I remember not knowing how to jump properly in World, and would just spin jump everywhere instead.
