I'm a generation of video games older than you, and grew up in the era in which we still had arcades, with pinball machines (still a love) and the video games I fondly recall are Asteroids, Centipede, Donkey Kong (which I guess is the ancestor of all the Mario games), and Pac Man.

And yeah, we had Pong at the house when it came out, and much later, we had a stand alone table top pac man machine, where two players sat across from each other.
