Pong. My friend from the neighbourhood had this huge console-like thing connected to his tv and all of a sudden I could move things on screen. That was a weird experience for me. Not much later that same friend showed me his brother's VCR and I was sold. The friend's father was/is an electronics marvel to me: he built transmitters and radio's, had antenna's all over the roof, everything electric and electronic in the house was his domain. A real nerd. :-) This was around 1980, 1981.
