Some kind of Pong game. I was really little and it was my grandmother's, so I don't even remember what the actual unit looked like.
Then the Atari 2600 (my aunt's), then the Atari 5200 (my grandmother's - she was unstoppable at Pac-Man and could start from Cherry and work all the way up to nine keys without dying once).
Then there was the day we rented an NES. That day changed my life.
It was Super Mario Bros. Start the game. "Oh hey, the screen moves sideways! Good lord, this is a huge game." Dies a bunch. Find pipe shortcut. "Oh wow!" Finally beat level 1-1. "Yay, I beat the game! Oh wait, World 1-2? WTF?!?!?"
It's hard to explain the feeling when the most immersive game you've ever played was Pitfall.
