> You could say that our generation grew up in a kind of perfect window for games, they got more complex as we got older, not just because we got older, but also because hardware allowed for more complex games/stories to be made.

This is very insightful. It makes me think I should maybe start by introducing my kiddo to 2600 games when they are old enough. Thanks!

GenX really did get to see it all. My first game was Pong. Specifically Colecovision Telstar Marksman.

My through time didn’t include 2600 though but it did include Intellivision. Which sprites and will resolution more then a single line.
