So, this month is the 40th anniversary of television-based video game hardware. The first console, the Magnavox Odyssey, was designed by Ralph Baer and Bill Harrison and was prototyped in a device called the Brown Box.

I started button mashing with Atari, & I actually noticed what I was hitting had an onscreen affect by the NES.
