My first experience of programming was on my old Philips G7000 console (Magnavox Odyssey for the USAians) before I built my ZX81

I remember my first ZX81 dam we're starting to sound like the annual general convention of the old farts club.

Yep I was in university in 1980 and so wanted an atari but I could not afford one so I got an exody sorcerer that came with 8 kB of ram and I mod'ed it to have a whole 48kb by piggyback soldering ram chips on top of the original ram. The exody used modified 8-track cartridges for programs and apps!

Then I progressed to a Vic 20 and eventually a commodore 64 (a couple actually) then amiga 500, 1000, and 3000's.

Someplace in my storage shed I have a small antique computer history collection that includes an old intel altair 8800 and a couple kit machines I built back in the 70's. lol

That old Altair's worth a few quid these days. (Current prices seem to be between $1500 - $2500 ...) .. the Exidy just under the $1000 mark...
