Your First Gaming Console?

[Machiavellian007]

This includes PCs, GBAs, GBs, GBCs.

Mine was a Nintendo 64 when I was about 3, which I played with my dad. I loved that console. Then it just up and died on me. After that it was a Game Boy Colour. I lent it to my friend and he bloody lost it, along with all of my games.

So, Escapists, I ask you; what was your first console/gaming device of any kind?

It was either a ColecoVision or an Apple][e computer, I can't remember which I played on first as I was around 4 or 5 at the time.

Mine was an original Game Boy packaged with Tetris. Spent hours a day on the thing. As for home consoles, it was a Sega Genesis passed to me by my aunt when my cousins got an N64.

Old fashioned NES and a PC with windows 95.
Edit: Oh yeah, I also grew up with an old SEGA station, and that was with the SEGA saturn, and the little heard of 32X addition.

I remember getting my very first gamming consol when I was eight. It was a brand new Nintendo Game Cube and the game I bought for it was the Spider-man movie videogame. I remember thinking that it was the coolest thing I had ever seen.

Then a year later I found out that they were going to stop making games for Game Cube and I was upset. I finally had my videogame system, and now it was going to be useless.

I had the rest of the gameboy series afterwards too.

SNES.

Just pure awesome.

The SNES.

I don't really remember much about it, except that my sister left the red light on and we just stopped playing by ripping the cartridge out and assumes that it was turned off. It always bothered me. So one day it just wouldn't work. Then we got a Nintendo 64.

She tried the same thing with "our" ps2 and she was crazy so I let her use it when her friends were over, and guess what, IT FUCKING BROKE.

This is why I am so happy I don't have any siblings.

 

[Omikron009]

An original xbox. I loved that thing.

 

[blankedboy]

A crappy PC.
Actual consoles, PS2. When my brother was getting a series of ear operations, we kept renting a PS2 for him. Eventually we just bought one.

 

[Tasachan]

NES. We were late getting it, I think it was '93 by the time we picked it up. We didn't get a SNES until ... '96? Man, too long ago. *head scratch*

Feck, I feel old when I see people saying their first console was an XBox.

I wish I was that lucky.

She also broke my Game Boy Advance because she was frustrated that she couldn't get past a certain level, and then she covered it up by running to my location and "falling" while tipping over a chair to make it seem like that broke it and I comforted her.

 

[Rensenhito]

Game Boy Pocket with Pokemon Red and Donkey Kong Country. God, those were good times.

 

[Henrik Persson]

Well, we had an advanced pong game. It had several versions of Pong. Don't know if it counts. After that it was NES. Wonderful console, sold my SNES but kept my NES and still play it from time to time.
