I actually remember playing "Pong", which is saying something because I don't remember a whole lot, nowadays.

I wish i could remember the very first game i played. Used to go to arcades back in the 80's when i was wee child, which were awesome. Black lights and psychedelic space scenes painted on the walls. The ones of today are just hollow reminders of what used to be.

But the very first home system i had was a Colecovision. And i can remember playing Centipede on it a lot.
