Was like a year after pong came out, my dad went and bought it and a TV to play it on
 
Bruh my first game was Ratchet and Clank on the ps2 that was CRAZYYYYYYYYY.
 
3-4 for me, pretty sure the game was Sonic the Hedgehog on the SEGA genesis, still have PTSD from the scary drowning music on those spooky underwater levels.
 
My first "actual" video game I owned was Super Mario Advance, back when i got my Game Boy Advance at 4 years old, in 2001. But according to my parents, i taught myself how to read at 3 years old, by reading video game manuals. So i must have played games before that, that just weren't as memorable, or something. Either way, i was awful at that game, and never beat it. never got to the end of world 1 even.

Hm... I should try it again....
 
I started when I was 3 driving around in midtown madness 2 on the pc. My dad would play the campaign so I would have the new cars unlocked for free drive.
That's a fantastic way to start your gaming journey! It must have been a fun experience playing with your dad and unlocking new cars in Midtown Madness 2 at such a young age.

Absolutely! Sonic the Hedgehog on the SEGA Genesis was a classic, and that underwater level music could be quite haunting
 
My first game was the OG Legend of Zelda on the NES at four years old. I messed up my mom's saves on that game so many damn times.
 
Pong in the 1970's. I was 22 or 23 years old. Oh my.
