I still use that monitor to this very day. It currently has a PS2 and a gamecube hooked up to it. The thing is a beast.

Sixteen. First console was a N64, LoZ : Ocarina of time was my first game... I think.

 

[hypothetical fact]

So how will you measure the average age of the forumgoers: Mean, Median or Mode?

Wow... this thread is making me feel ancient. :-|

Tell me about it! I'm also 27, my first console was a Master System 1, but before that, I had this:

the ZX Sinclair Spectrum +2

I played on it so much, I actually broke the play button on the built in tape recorder, and had to use a spoon to press it.

24 - Same here, I think. I can't remember the exact model I had.

From there, the next game was the NES, heh. Then the SNES!

I used to dream of that model +swoons+ Mine was the bolt on tape drive one. Not your slinky all in one piece. But my copy of Magic Land Dizzy played just as well.
