It was a Pong home console version, my Dad bought for me - the whole neighborhood came over at the time, and everyone ohhed and awwwed at the cool graphics (which when you look at it now, is pretty funny!)

The thing that I always found funny was that the game had 3 modes; Pong, Hockey and Tennis I think. They were all seemingly the same game.
1) NES
2) SNES
3) Sega Genesis
4) Game Gear
5) Game Boy Color
6) Nintendo DS
7) N64
8) Playstation
9) Gamecube
10) Playstation 2
11) Playstation 3
12 ) Playstation 4
13) Wii
14) Xbox
15) Xbox 360
16) Xbox One
I have the PSX and Gamecube in storage. The Wii is still at my father's because it's not played. The only things I've got hooked up now are my PS3, PS4, and X1. I should at least update my 360 today.

Yes, they were the same game,lol!!! (Well Pong and tennis were at any rate - just two little vertical lines on the side of the screen that you moved up and down, which the little dot bounced off of!) Weird thing is, I spent hours and hours playing it! And We were the envy of the neighborhood too, lol!
NES - The one that came with Super Mario Brothers, Duck Hunt and World Class Track Meet and included the 2 controllers, Zapper Gun and Power Pad. I got it for Christmas in 1988.
Sega Genesis - Got it for Christmas in 1991
Super NES - Got it as a surprise after getting straight As in 7th grade in 1993
Nintendo 64 - Got it for Christmas in 1997
Sega Dreamcast - Got it for Christmas in 1998
Playstation 2 - Got it for Christmas in 2001
Xbox 360 - Got this from my wife as an engagement present in 2007
And of course I've always been an avid computer gamer...
Atari 2600 - I got this before the Berlin Wall fell, living behind the iron curtain I never managed to get any extra games, only the "126" or so that were pre installed, most were unplayable... still this is what got me hooked
Amiga 500+ - 36 hour Civilization marathon ? yes please I was 10 when I got my hands on this baby and fell in love with it right away. I had it modified, there was a switch at the back of the computer that enabled me to choose which kickstart version (the operating system) I'd like to use when starting the machine, it was very useful as most games designed for the weaker Amiga 500 wouldn't work with the newer and "improved" Amiga 500+ os.
PC
Ps2
PC - with xbox 360 gamepads
I might at some point get a steambox, but it all depends on how it develops.
Yac.
^We PC game here also, with the XBOX 360 controllers.
Yes great combo. I'm still stuck on Xbox 360. Too many games I want to play still. Only problem is I'm always behind the curve. Any game online has a reduced player base by the time I get to it.
We are still on the XBOX 360 too.....I like buying the second or third versions of the consoles, because then they iron out all the bugs, they missed in the original consoles. (We use to buy them when they first came out, when they had little game support, and the hardware would often fail in the first year or two - at least that has been our experience with xbox and playstation. It's just sometimes a wise decision to wait a bit, sometimes.
