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?

Six years old. My parents had got a Spectrum +2 bundle from Curry's for Christmas, with a bunch of games in nondescript grey boxes. First one we played was a top-down snooker games called Snooker.

Many years later I ended up working with the guy that made one of the games in that bundle and, I think, ported another from the C64. Small world and all that.
