i remember us having a console that just had pong on it and my memory is telling me the console brand was grandstand. i dont know why. does this ring a bell with anyone who knows alot about gaming in the late 70's and early 80's?

after that we got the following in chonological order.
atari console with asteroids and air,sea,battle.
spectrum 128k +2.
i then stupidly exchanged the speccy for a second hand commodore 64 that didnt work very well.
sega megadrive.
super nintendo.
playstation 1.
xbox 360.
playstation 3.

i currently still own all of the last 5 in the list.

edit.
i thought i would add my fave games on each system like some of you have.
well as it only had pong its pong for the first one.
asteroids on the atari.
i have forgotten alot of stuff but i remember finding a darts game called 180 amusing on the speccy.
arkanoid on the c64.
again my memory fails me but i remember liking mortal kombat 2 on the megadrive.
this one is easy its donkey kong country. this game was awesome and best played with a mate.
resident evil 2 with destruction derby 2 a close second on the ps1.
gears of war 2 and bioshock on the xbox 360.
uncharted 2 on the ps3.

The very first console I actually played on (Which youve just reminded me), was a 'pong' console. Orange with 2 controllers which were basically knobs to turn clockwise or anti clockwise. They were basically all pong varients that I recall. I think my dad still has it somewhere actually

i think our console was black. i have just remembered a controller which was black and oblong and had a black joystick and a orange button. however this may have been the controller for the atari console we got next.

edit.
your description is starting to ring a bell. were the knobs basically a bit like a volume button on a hi fi?
