Poll: Your First Console

[haruvister]

Atari Jaguar.

I had one of them. A train crash of a console.

 

[floppylobster]

SG-1000.

Anyone else? Anyone?

 

[Fraught]

The NES. Had it for a few weeks. Then got the PS1. God, I loved my PS1.

 

[TZer0]

~30-60 MHz PC with DOS.

Good times.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Gameboy Pocket. Ah, the good old days with Super Mario and snapping games in two.

 

[Ghonzor]

I had a Game Boy. Not even color. Just Game Boy.

I loved my gigantic blocky Gameboy...even though it ate through batteries like no other.

I hardly ever changed the batteries in mine. The only game i ever played was tetris though, there was probably more computing power needed for a digital watch than there was for that game.

I always laugh when I see that calculators used in schools today have more computing power and memory than my first computer did.

sega genesis

 

[vonjibble]

gamecube. very underrated

 

[Captain_Caveman]

I got a old Atari 2600 at a flea market. First console.

Then i got a Sega Master System. That was my first new console. Also my favorite one I ever owned.

 

[Harley Q]

Sega Mega Drive, there's nothing like a game of Sonic & Tails, or even some Golden Axe to bring a nostalgiac smile to your face.

 

[David_G]

I think that it was either Playstation 1 or SNES.

 

[akmarksman]

What was your first console?

Mine was an extremely broken, 5th-hand C64, however, I consider my 'official' first console my Sega MegaDrive (genesis). I had no amounts of fun with it, and it's still a regular part of my gaming routine.

How about you lot?

1st console?
Atari. Pitfall and a couple of other cartridges.

When I got my NES at Christmas the year it came out,the subsequent year(s) I gained a more powerful set of lungs from having to blow the dust off the contacts..then I figured out I could just use a Q-Tip dipped in 70% Iso alcohol..

 

[Rhatar Khurin]

The binatone tennis game from 1978 if i remember.

(although the one shown was newer than ours)

 

[thest3alth]

Nintendo 64 with a few games, among them were Goldeneye, Super Mario 64, Mission Impossible, some racing game based on what looked like Mars and a game where you fly around in a spaceship in a temple-architectural look.

I know, I've never played Zelda, apart from with my Uncle. My uncle also had a fun game where a boy, a girl and a dog were separated and had to get back together, though I can't remember what the last 3 games were, anyway want to quote me and put me in the right direction?

 

[kawligia]

Atari 2600.

 

[Gunn01]

Mine were NES followed by the gameboy (original), SNES, N64, PS2, NDS, X360 in that order.

 

[Overlord_Dave]

Master System II. It had Sonic built-in! What else could you want?

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Playstation One. Don't remember much about it, though.

 

[iJosh]

I rocked the SNES then moved on to N64 then PS2 then XBOX then XBox360. I did get a Ps3 at the same time as the Xbox360. But I don't use it so It don't count.

 

[matsugawa]

I had the Atari 2600. My first game was Pitfall. Good times.

Same here; Pitfall may not have been my first game, but there were still good times to be had regardless.
