Bit hazy but it involved Pong, early 80's (I was born in 79).
I remember looking on as my brother and dad played it on the tv. There were two controllers (it wasn't the Atari paddle if I recall correctly) one had a video out and plugged directly into the tv, the second was powered from the first via a connecting cable. I think there was a slider on the first that selected three or four different games and a side button that reset the unit.
I was hugely impressed, in hindsight however what a pile of fucking shit it was!
First real memory was playing River Raid on a friends Atari 2600 on a 14" black & white tv, again early 80's. I thought it was amazing. Got one for Christmas soon after (£50 it was, with a copy of Centipede) and Santa was kind enough to throw in a second game too, Desert Falcon.
Behold.....
Makes you wonder how I stuck with gaming after being treated to such masterpieces.
