My first personal computer was a TRS-80 (Tandy Radio Shack).  The operating system was on a floppy diskette.... and if you made one mistake with the floppy.... you were screwed.  But, it was good for Pong and whatever.

i had Intelivision 

Image 1 - Intellivision Console With Games And Guides

 

shame all this old stuff ended up in the land fill, imagine the weight of that today compare to the price ? .......where wall-E to clean up 

Does Intellivision still exist?

But the pandemic disrupted those plans, Intellivision had to postpone its launch date until April. Then Tallarico further delayed it to October, and now it has been rescheduled again. In the meantime, Tallarico said the company has grown to more than 60 employees and he said the games are turning out to be fun.Aug. 9, 2021

I have an Intellivision all boxed up in my garage.  Have probably 20 games.  Still works.  On sale for $999.99 or best offer !!!  🙂

Which one?  In middle school programmed on a TRS-80 Model I black and white screens, we had a Cassette interface and an early form of a network to share the cassette drive iirc.
