what was your first console

NES. Super Mario Games, no Zelda but Solstice. Never found how to enter the sewers in TMNT so spent months on the first screen...

 

The NES for me. I got Mario, Kirby and Duck Hunt as my first games.

 

A Sega Master System 2 with Shinobi and (obvsiouly) Alex Kidd in Miracle World.

 

My first sytem was a Univox system.



But the first one I got for my own was a Red gameboy pocket, with the camera and the printer

 

Sega Master System

 

Atari VCS was my first. I still have it.

 

Mine was a Sega Genesis with Sonic 2. My sisters both wanted a SuperNes instead, but my parents figured that I was going to play more than they would so they got the console that I wanted.

 

First I had was the Fairchild Channel F. I have two now, one I repaired that functions just fine now and one that's still throwing me for a loop. Most people don't know about it but it has a nice little spot in gaming history. But first system I bought on my own was the NES and I was in my 20's while stationed in England.

 

SNES was the first I played. PS1 was the first I owned.

 

I used to play 2600 and NES as a small child and then growing up my brother and I always split console purchases (Genesis, Xbox, ps2, 360, etc) so I think the first console I ever actually bought with my own money would be an xbone one/ps4 (I bought them at the same time).

 

Sega Dreamcast. I had a PSOne that was a 'shared' Christmas gift, but Dreamcast was the first system I owned all to my own.

Otherwise, I started on as many arcade games I could sneak off to and hand-me-downs - 2600/7800, NES, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, Game Gear... and Pong.

EDIT: I just remembered that I was very close to having a Sega Saturn be my first console sometime in 1999/2000 back when FuncoLand was clearing everything out and systems could be had for cheap ($30, IIRC).

Apparently, I was just a little too late. They dropped their inventory fast. Anything worthwhile sold out quick.

(Somewhere 9-10 years later, I finally got a Saturn.)

 

Mine was an Atari 2600 Jr, although I almost never played with it, having an Amstrad CPC 6128 at home. The machine I consider my first true console is the Sega Mega Drive.

 

The first console I ever owned was a NES. My neighbours kid was not doing homework and just played videogames all day and they offered it to my mom for free. It even came with 2 controllers. My mom was skeptical and my older brother convinced her to take it. From there my love of video games exploded and has never stopped. It's a way of life

 

Started with an NES that my brother got in '88 and continued right on from there.

 

Well although this is not a console, I started out on 386/486 DOS simulators in the early 90's. Than progressed to using a NES console.

 

My first console was a Sega Genesis, shortly after they switched the pack in game from Altered Beast to Sonic.

 

My first Video game that connected to the TV was a Coleco PONG, then it was the Sears Teligames <sp> Atari 2600, I have both around here somewhere.
