Ok at least for us 30 yr olds 
But I found this game and talk about going back in the day. I remember this game and how much I thought Joe Montana was da man. It’s actually a pretty fun game if you have nothing better do if you’ve wrapped up for work for the day.
Ok, I’m a little older….. Asteroids anyone?

I’ll two up you on the age thing..
First how about a thrilling game of Pong.
And before that…a good old game of kickball. Yup the
type where you had to interact with other kids and involved
a REAL ball. 
(now I see tony beat me to the Pong) So I guess we are both old
Aesteroids ruled!!
I still have it on atari
RED ROVER, RED ROVER
Ok here we go. How about space invaders. Now there is an old one as well. Pong was that an activision game? I had something that was the size of an old VCR and only had two games on it. The controllers were twist knobs. I think it was pong and tennis.
I always liked the football games that vibrated to make the guys moves.
Playing Army with plastic soldiers was fun when I was a kid, but as I got a little older I started playing….Doctor!!
I still like to play that game, unfortunately after 20 plus years, my patient isn’t as enthused as she used to be!! 
Any of you timer’s every play RiverRaid? Loved that game
Riverraid was Atari if I remember right. I liked that game too!!
Dirt bombs at 20 paces………… 
My folks were so poor when we were kids, they used to cut holes in our pants pockets so we would have something to play with! Games were for rich kids!
As a kid I was pretty good at “Kick the Can”, now that I am older, I seem to be much better at getting it kicked! 
You can’t live with ’em……etc.etc.etc.

We used to use our BB guns, and lobb firecrackers as handgrenades.

Hey Chris… was that one of those games that when you were done playing your mom made you to wash your hands before coming to the supper table??? 
I think the earliest electronic game I remember playing was a bowling game. There was a metal thing about the size of a hockey puck, and you would slide it on the waxed game top, and the pins would swing up. You had to slide it pretty hard, so that it would bounce back to you off the back of the game. It came out around the same time that pinball games first were introduced.
I am so old that when I was a kid we did not have computer games.

THE 3 STOOGES WEREN’T RERUNS, ROY ROGERS WAS ROY ROGERS, GENE AUTRY SANG BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN. MOOSE SKOWRON PLAYED FIRST BASE FOR THE YANKEES, MANTLE AND ROGER MARIS WERE CHASING BABE RUTH’S HR RECORD ON JUST BEER NO STERIODS, CASEY WAS THE MANAGER AND SPUTNICK HAD JUST TOOK OFF. A ’57” CHEVY COST $1800. A CEDAR STRIP BOAT AND A 3 HORSE JONSON ”WAS” THE WALLEYE RIG OF THE DAY. NOW THAT IS BLASTING FROM THE PAST. A GOOD DAY PLAYING BASEBALL IN THE ”HOOD” WAS BREAKING NO WINDOWS. NOW THATS BLASTING FROM THE PAST. BEEN THERE AND DONE IT.

Now I think I am going to have to get out my Atari. RiverRaid is my all time favorite Atari game.
Ok first of all the icant even rember the name first video game system i ever had. It only played one game. The one with the ball that bounced off te paddle on one side of the screen to the other side you had to have to players to play. But if were talking all time best throw in my vote for donkey kong or galaga. I could sit and play those for hours. That is before i went fishing for the first time. then the priorities changed. 
I just turned 23 and I can remember playing Frogger. Those damn semi’s always got me.

PONG….. 
Game of checkers…Herb?
Riverrat, I agree. Gotta go with Galaga.
Brian, why is it that my old man could always beat me in checkers, even with his Schnapps addled, senile mind?
I can talk smck, cause he is in Mexico. 
I would bet that it was because he cheated when you weren’t looking! (It’s an old 3M trick) 
And do you think he’s walking around the beach in his speedo drinking ToKILLya…..no…it’s 60 proof schnapp’s….teaching all the mexican ladys the finer art of singing Ode to Lut! 
anyone play marbles???or jacks.

Cats eyes and steelies! I don’t remember the name we used for the clear colored ones though.
We used to call them peeries.
When we bought our house we found lots of old marbles (I sure feel sorry for the kid that lost his marbles. ) Most are older than me. They are some pretty marbles for sure.
