24, 25 in a month, first console was the NES, came with duckhunt/super mario, and super mario 3, got it to keep me from scratching my chickenpox.......... love that system...........
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 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.
17, Sega Genesis without memory cards. We started a lot of Sonic Adventures' games. Finished about 2.
23 and mines was an Binatone Tv master console

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.
Loved some of those oldie games hehe
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.
