I'm pretty sure that my father got us an Atari Pong, when I was a young kid. But, I remember almost nothing about it.

The first "video game" that I remember is Star Trek (https://github.com/RayKV423/Star-Trek-for-HP-2000)

While my school did have one "glass teletype", most of the time, I played this on an old ASR-33 Teletype.

I remember when good games came on a floppy disk. Really good games required two disks. These days, you're downloading 20+ GB of data per game (the games I play, anyway).

        I'm only responsible for what I say, not what you understand.

Well, actually that game was already loaded onto our school's computer. I never really thought about where it came from, but later on found that it was included in the Hewlett-Packard standard library for Time-Share BASIC (TSB.)
