19, and my first console was the N64 11 years ago. I got it because I loved Mart Kart 64, don't regret it for a second. But if you count handhelds then that would be the Gameboy Color which I got a year before the N64.

I'm 17 and mine was the NES and the first game I played was Super Mario Bros. Though I can't remember it (I started playing games since I was 2), the game system I remember most from my childhood was my SNES, and the game I remember the most on it was Star Fox.

I'm 19 and my first system was the Sega Genesis. Thinking about it brings back good memories of Sonic and Knuckles, Mortal Kombat, and Streets of Rage. Mmmm... nostalgia.

I am 27 and I believe my first system was the Odyssey II however I was a bit too young to really appreciate what the hell was going on. Therefore, we should say NES. However I started being a PC gamer before I even got a SNES heh heh.

23 and mines was an Binatone Tv master console
http://zonadepruebas.org/garillete/Pong/Binatone%20TV%20Master%20IV.jpg

All you did was play pong. Well you had switches that you flicked that would set up foot ball or squash. Make the bats small or big game fast or slow.

I also had a Spectrum after that. Never got it to work. Kept getting "Tape load ERROR" my dad has used a Commador and Spectrum and other in the past even doing the build up a game to play from a magazine by programming it yourself.

After that it was the Master system a year or two befor the Megadrive/Genisis came out.

So yeah considering I am 23 I seem to have a very diffrent game start for people my age.

My parents owned a Sears Pong deck back in the day. They later owned an Atari 2600. My first console that I played outside of my parents was an Apple II that I used in college (loved Ultima IV). The first that I owned was a NES (loved Final Fantasy).

By the way, I'm 45.

Commodore PET.

For the technology it had, it played a remarkably good Space Invaders.

Though, come to think of it, Alzheimers is getting the better of me, and the Atari 2600 might have come before that.

Funny story, at first I thought you were asking about role-playing systems (D&D, Pathfinder, etc.), in which case it's Risus. Though, since you really mean video-game system, the N64 was my first.

My first system was an NES, and I got it before I was born.

When my grandparents heard my parents were expecting they decided to get me a good toy to play with, the hot new thing at the time was a new video game machine so they got one for me that I could play with when I was old enough. My parents lost entire weekends to it before I was born, afterwards too, or so they claimed. Before I was old enough to play I would watch my parents play, I actually learned to read watching my Dad play the Legend of Zelda, I've grown up with games ever since, they've become a lifelong joy to me really.

Video games have been a joy to have in my life and I think that that NES was the best gift anyone has ever gotten me, it has certainly has had the most impact.
