I’m also 50 this year, and Pong was my first game as well!
So funny to think that it took an entire console to play one black and white game with primitive graphics and like 4 options… and now we have 3D rendered racing sims we can run on our phones!
61 in about 3 weeks. I’m older than Pong, and I game every day.
I’m 50 and pong was my first video game. I had to play it on amateur with the bigger paddles because the small ones were insanely small.
Alright, we have enough to run a tournament. Who’s streaming!

Dude, that was my first game too! I kind of wish I still had it (and a screen it would play on).
I was 9 or 10 3 first time I saw a Pong arcade machine in a hotel in San Diego.
This was me (figuratively)
Gaming has been serious since
Then I wrote my first game
Now I seek my fortune in glory and plunder
I love this so much!
55 here, and I got to play lunar lander on my dad’s lab PDP-8 even before my grandparents got Pong.
Currently working my way through Fallout London.
