Just like all the other 80s kids in this thread: Mario/Duck Hunt. Gotta stick to the classics.

That's kinda funny, I feel like I'm oddly at the other end of the spectrum, jumping in in the mid-90s...

Back in my day, we didn't get given points, we took'em!

Does it make it better if I was only a kid when I had pong? I'm younger than Dennis... (I'll give a point to whomever gets that reference)

Autoduel on the Apple II.

My dad and I had a contest to see who could beat it first. I was well in the lead, but found out that the enemies had suddenly gotten insanely hard. My dad had reprogrammed the game, so I had to learn how to code in BASIC out of self-defense. (I was six.) This is probably also the reason why that I hated computer programming when I got to high school and so didn't want to do it.

Haha, good story (I can see myself doing something like that if I ever have a kid though)...
