(I still DO play it, occasionally)
- I was kind of "WoW"'d. I didn't really know what the heck it was. My mom said I could "control the pictures on the TV". I mostly watched my dad use it until I was like 5. From then on, NO ONE was allowed near it if I had it in use, and it was mine. heh.

How old were you? I think 13-14.
Which console was it? Gameboy Color.
In what way did you get it?-My parent allow me to buy it with my money.
What games did it come with?-I just bought the game Lucky Luke as the first GBC game.
How would you feel playing that console and those first games now? Nostaglia I guess
Do you recall being excited? How long did you play it for the first time (rough estimate)? About a few hours at least (I think I was busy on the day I bought it)
Note- I did played games from the SNES and Gameboy era but it is my brother who had bought those consoles.

PS1, got it when I can't even remember, 9 maybe? 8? Hm. Crash Bandicoot and Scooby Doo were my first games. It was a Christmas present. I still play it - I'm working my way through Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets.
My family owned a Sega Genesis and PSX before I was born. My first console received was a PS2 back in 200..1? Late 90's, early 2000's.
I was about 3 or 4 and it was a SNES. My dad asked me whether I wanted Mario (Nintendo) or Sonic (Sega) and I apparently said Mario. That night my dad came home with a black bag. In that black bag was the SNES. My dad and I played many a game of Super Mario kart on the SNES. He would also let me win
Playstation one, when I was very young. Got back from a swimming lesson, and there it was, sitting in my living room. I played X-Men mutant academy 2 against my Dad for hours.
I had just turned six (my birthday is December 21st) when I received a PS1 for christmas, some games and accessories as a combo birthday/holiday gift . Included games were Independence Day, Nuclear Strike and Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! I spent all day right up until we left for the annual christmas party playing Independence Day. Pretty bad by today's standards, but it was one of my favorite movies as a kid, so I thought the game was pretty awesome.
The next day my dad was playing Nuclear Strike (my mom had really bought it more for him than me), and I sat there and watched him for a while. He was pretty terrible at it, but we had fun listening to all the cheesy dialogue and music while blowing up tanks and buildings and such. After a while he got bored of sucking and let me play. For some reason I was really good at it, and it instantly became my favorite over Independence Day. I played Nuclear Strike for a few weeks until I finally beat it (them later levels are actually kind hard, at least for a six year old). After that I decided it was time to play Spyro 2.
Wow. Spyro 2 surpassed both flight games as my favorite PS1 game. I loved it so much that I used my birthday money to buy the first game, which I also loved (and which was also considerably more difficult, to my chagrin). Year of the Dragon wasn't out yet, but when it came out I bought it immediately.
So, how do I feel about playing these games today? Well, the PS1 has long since died, but I still have all of my old PS1 games, some of which I still play (including good ol' Spyro, which my younger sister now also loves). Sadly, Nuclear Strike has been horribly scratched over the years, rendering it unplayable. Its precursor Soviet Strike still works like a charm, however.
Long live Playstation!

i was about 5 or 6 when i was given an Atari for my birthday, i loved that machine so much, good old winter Olympics... *sighs* seems like only yesterday.
I'd have been about 5 when my dad brought home a Sega Megadrive. I still remember unfolding the huge poster that came inside the box with one side covered in games and the other taken up fully by a picture of Sonic, with the Sonic the Hedgehog 1 background.
The games we had for it were Sonic 1,2, 3&K, Super Hydlide, Mystic Defender, Fatal Labyrinth, Streets of Rage and Golden Axe. I still play each of those from time to time and I still can't finish two of them.

Shit,I remember when I got my PlayStation 2...I think I was about uhm...7?Can't really remember.Oh,the countless times me and my friend would just sit on our asses and play games from the Sly,the Ratchet & Clank,WWE series.Damn good times...that is,until a stupid annoying little girl decided to come over to my house(what for,I have no fuckin' idea because we all used to play pranks on her and hate her) and she saw that I was playing the VERY FINAL PART of the Harry Potter & The Prizoner of Azkaban game(you gotta get onto that half horse half eagle monstrosity and fly up to a tower) and wanted to play.I didn't let her at firt,but then she told my mom that I didn't let her and I ended up having to.First,she just ran around the place clueless,failed the mission a bunch of times(there was a 10 minute timer or so),then she FINALLY understood she's supposed to get onto that half horse half eagle thingy,but...with the wrong character.That creature only likes Harry and Hermione,but not Ron for some reason.It was,by the way,the only character she tried riding it with.After some more failures,she got onto the creature with another character,but just ran around and flew into invisible barriers all the time.This is when I got REEAAALLLLLYYYYYY pissed and told my mom that I wanted that girl to fuck off.She said "Just let her try one more time.".I did.She failed.Again.But when I tried to grab the controller off of her hands,she screamed "NO!" and pushed her hands away,pulling the controller that had a wire connected to the console itself.Needless to say,the console fell on the floor and got fucked.Then,SOMEHOW,my dad got it working again.For a little while.It tended to get buggy and crash a lot,but then it just decided to die.Just,just...died.It was a sad moment...
RIP PlayStation 2
RIP PlayStation 2
Nintendo 64 for the family
5 I think. Dad(a carpenter) had a big payoff that week.
It all started then. Epic mario cart battles with my sisters. Rayman was my all time favorite, even though I never finished it. So I would love to go back and really go at it.

How old were you? .....5 I think
.
Which console was it? ......Sega Master System
In what way did you get it?.... Came home from School and found it hooked up to the TV
What games did it come with? Alex Kidd, Streets of Rage 2, Robocod
How would you feel playing that console and those first games now?... Well I've recently downloaded Streets of rage and robocod on the PSN...ahh the nostalgia.
Do you recall being excited? How long did you play it for the first time (rough estimate)?.... Was excited till I realised I was terrible at Streets of Rage, and was shit scared of one of those nasty enemies that would chase you on Alex Kidd....the hell with Silent Hill, just thinking about that still gives me the creeps.

i was 9, i got a Ps2 for my 9th birthday, with 1 game: GTA:Vice City... i spent 2 whole days playing it, and i still enjoy it now(still not even 1/2 complete), only thing is the graphics put me off now(perfectlu Cuboid buildings with stickers made to look like windows on them)
I think I was six or seven years old when my mother bought a Playstation for me and my sister. A lot of her friends at work talked about it so she decided to get one. She even tried playing once after seeing us do it, thinking "pff, that doesn't seem so hard"... She died instantly and haven't touched a console game ever since.
I believe we just had a demo disc first, with upcoming releases in 1997. I had no clue what the hell a demo was, and I didn't speak English, so why the games always ended in the middle of the first level was baffling to me. We later got Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot and DAMN did I play the hell out of those games. Had Worms as well, but it was like the game played itself. Couldn't figure it out.
I don't play that console nor the games anymore, but I get deeply nostalgic whenever I get reminded of them. Can't remember how long I played the first time, but I'm pretty sure I stayed up way past my bedtime.

I was 6, and having my birthday party inside a Chuck E. Cheese, when my dad hands me a medium-sized square box. I open it, and in it lies a PS1. I was ecstatic. Given, a PS2 had just come out, but I was six and I didn't care (or know).
This was a huge surprise of a gift, given that neither of my parents play games, only my dad playing them at arcades (and a little on an N64) when he was young.
