What was your first ever videogame?

My first and last videogame was PONG.
It was mesmerizing but hard. Way harder than actual tennis. Those little lines were tiny. We played this for hours.

Wow, that’s a flash back.
That first Atari. Epic!

I can’t remember the frustration. But it seems a long time ago when I last played it and I was late into playing it. It had been out so many years before I had the opportunity. 😊

This was the very first video game anyone ever played (in my neighborhood anyway) I was learning actual tennis at the time and I thought this was harder!

PONG was fun, and I kept going with gaming for quite a while!

Did you? Interesting! Gaming didn’t stick for me at all. I think maybe Dance Revolution was the only other one I ever played when my kids had a Wii.

The last game I played all the way through was a Zelda, and I really loved that. My hands just don’t allow for me to immerse as well as once was possible. Bummer. Then again, most of the current things have micro-payments and are seem more demanding of one’s time.

That’s too bad about your hands preventing you from doing stuff you enjoy. I’m sorry.

I can do most of what I need and want to do, like this, thankfully! 🙂 Thank you, though. I appreciate your care. ❤
