My first was the super nintendo. My dad gave it to me to make up for all my lousy birthdays. But I was pretty sad because I did not get the new console the nintendo 64. But I ended up having a lot of fun on my super nintendo.

What is your stories?

I think the first consoles I ever got were the NES and a Sega, all in one. I don't recall buying either individually, so I think I got them at the same time...

Then I worked my way up, first came the PS, then the N64, then the PS2 and Xbox, etc.

The PS2 i believe. I was late into the gaming scene it seems. Probably because at that age i read a lot.

My first two consoles (got at the same time) were an SNES and a Dreamcast. Those were great. Then, I got an n64, PS, Gamecube, PS2, then I had an Xbox for like a week (it broke) nowdays though, I just use my PC. I'm really not interested in console gaming much anymore. I mean, I haven't found any next gen games that interest me much...

Me and my brother weren't allowed to own a games system (more like we couldn't afford) until we were pretty old.
So our first console was the N64.
Still have it, it's the donkey kong see-through green edition.


I love it.

I think the only games I had for my Game Gear were Mortal Kombat and The Lion King game, though. Which I guess are kind of a strange pair.

Oh yeah, and who could forget the original GameBoy.... Kirby's Dreamland was the best!

An Epsilon 5000 PC with a default dos startup screen. =P I was like 6, but I memorized the path names to all my favorite games like Stellar 7, Zoo Paint, and chess!

After that it was a NES or Sega Genesis cant remember.

Nintendo was my first console. Not sure what it was called other than just "Nintendo". But it was a console, I know that much. Not a handheld. The one where you put the big cartridges into the slot, it was grey and white. Took forever to get some games to actually work though. -_-

I suppose the Nintendo 64 would be the first console I got, but it was actually my sister's. So was the GB Color, and the GBA, and the DS..... Wow. Then I suppose my Gamecube would be the first console that was MINE.

...i still rock out to Goldeneye 64 on the weekends with my friends.

...But it looks like I still have to face the fact that you are clearly an awesome person.

My first system was NES. I got the system used when I was 5 years old and the only way I could get it to work was to clean it with Q-tips lol My favorite system ever would have to be N64 though. Some of the best games of all time are on that system.

Not sure if I've already posted in this thread..
If I have, i'm probably about to contradict myself haha

The first console I ever got was the Sega Master System with preloaded Sonic!
Then we moved on to the Sega Mega Drive/Genisis with preloaded Alex Kidd..
Then I worked my way through the nintendo's until I got playstation 1+2 before settling with both the PS3 and Xbox 360.

my first gaming system was an epsilon 500 pc from the 80s! Where I promptly learned how to load giant floppy disks and remember command lines in a dos menu to boot up games! The first true video game I played was Stellar 7!

http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/4599/56424287.png

http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/5094/s72.png

I must have been 5 or 6 when I beat this game. I actually placed enough high scores that no other names could be seen on the board. Other then space wars:

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1973/27491511.png

we didnt have a lot of video games for that computer, or at least non we could figure out the command lines to boot up. Maybe the discs didnt work, but Zoo paint and chess didnt really count (I had a real chess board).

Our next game system was a Sega Genesis. Then an NES, GB, SNES, N64, GBC ect.

Hmm... does Gameboy Colour work? It is "kind of" a console. Well, if not, then I have to say SEGA dreamcast ftw. Although I played consoles before that, DREAMCAST was the first I ever owned.
