:cool:

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Through internet magic I found the first "console" I ever played on. Basically, a souped up pong with a few extra gameplay settings, must've been around 1980.





I recall my middle sister in the early 80s had a console that had a keyboard incorporated in it. It may have been an Odyssey, or maybe a Crativision, or something similar; the memory is hazy.
The first I played: Pong.
The first I owned: a Commodore version of Pac-Man.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

My sister would sometimes borrow an Amstrad (Schneider CPC in Germany) with monochrome monitor from a friend over weekends:



Then she, I, and her husband would spend the weekend playing Hanse, the granddaddy of the Patrician games.
