If I told you that my introduction to video games was with Pong on a black and white TV in my parents’ basement you’d probably guess I’m a lot older than I actually am.
As pop culture deprived kids growing up in South Jersey in the ‘80s and early ‘90s, my older brother and I had limited access to many of the things our peers had at the time. For a time at least, we didn’t go to movies and we felt like the last kids in our school to get a Nintendo when my parents allowed us to buy one.
