Worlds First Gaming Console Commerical

1973........that's almost 40 years ago since the world's 1st console was released.

Revel in the unbelievable hi-tech graphics and the same processing power as a calculator you'd buy in the pound shop today!  Move that 1 white square over to that other white dot.................incredible!

Those colour "graphics" you see obviously didn't come from the console itself but were transparent sheets you had to tape onto the TV screen.

I actually have some little old machine an uncle gave us back when it came out where you could play Tennis, hockey, football...............which were all essentially Pong with an extra paddle thrown in.  Fùckin' hard game, though!
