No, we're gen y. I take insult to "millennial" it sounds lame.

You maybe, but I had Pong and an Atari 2600

Same here!

I hated the Pong system because the sound came from the console itself and not the TV and the volume could not be adjusted.

In other words, I couldn't play the damn thing when my parents were asleep and stuffing a pillow over the speaker to muffle it just did not work.

Who knew that the makers of Pitfall (Activision) for the 2600 would be here today still producing games?

Did you have a Coleco video game console too? I did and My favorite game was Zaxxon.

I had an uphill battle convincing them to let me connect it to the TV the first time. Had it for a good week before they went for it. My parents were born in the 30's. They were convinced the picture would stay that way.

I think that must of been something of an urban legend because I same issue with my grand parents too.

Confirmed. They stated they were "told" that would happen by "people at work". Also there were "memes" before the Internet. As late as the 90's I would come accross off colour jokes that had been photocopied over and over again.
