Atari 2600 was what I remember playing the most (loved the Superman game) but if I'm honest, the first video game I played was a version of this Odyssey system that featured 3 - count'em 3 - different styles of Pong.  Ahead of its time in 1976!!!

    Love it! Thanks for kicking us off Ludes​. 3 different styles of Pong?! It quite literally looks like the Corvette of gaming systems right there!

    I remember the Atari! That would be my first exposure into gaming! We had PAC-MAN. Not my strongest suit to say the least 🙃. However, if were to go with playing the most, it would definitely have to be the Nintendo. I would get my sister to do the "Unlimited Lives" trick on Super Mario Bros. so I could play all day long.

    Anyone else remember this hack?
