I remember as if it were yesterday, and it is precisely because it was the first game, I will always remember, I played it at the house of a neighbor whose parents worked in the gold mines, so they had more chance to have an Atari, so the first time I played a video game was the ATARI PONG my neighbor had two types of control knobs, one was the lever that you could move it up down right left, and the other type of control, was a knob, which only rotated, but I preferred the one that was lever type.
I think it may have been Pong for me too, either that or breakout. My memory isn't quite what it used to be... The controllers are completely vague now, man I must be getting old....
Did working in the gold mines pay better back then?
I suppose so, because while my house was made of mud, theirs was a block house and they even had air conditioning, so I think that if they made a lot of money, at that time the government controls were not so rigorous.
I do remember that game because the screen was all black and had those little white bars that moved and you didn't have to let the little white circle go by, I really haven't forgotten that.
