Your First Gaming Console?

[Cody211282]

A PC and I had Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego, and Star Wars: Tie Fighter

PS1

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.

My parents bought me a game for the 32X, but we didn't have one! It was the Star Wars game for it, and I was really into Star Wars at the time and wanted to play it so bad, too...

When I started gaming I had both the NES and the SNES and soon after got an N64 but I guess for the first console I ever played it was the SNES

I remember having that Star Wars game, but the one I really loved was this mech walker game. Until my brother broke the Saturn portion, which meant that the 32X would no longer work.

An Atari, followed by a Commodore 64, followed by the NES... the nostalgia's great (partially due to forgetting how bad a lot of earlier games really were), the quality of the games doesn't really start until the SNES when it comes to consoles I've owned or played.

Genesis. Bundled with Sonic the Hedgehog. god bless XBLA.

The old fat Gameboy and the Philips CD-I (YEAH!).

Mostly a PC gamer though, always have been.

At the beginning, it was my cousin who introduced me to gaming, with his PC, and game-boy. However it was my dad who gave me my first Gameboy, and now I've advanced to other consoles. Still occasionally whip the Gameboy out for some Pokemon.

My parents bought me a NES when I was six, my mother regrets that decision greatly, as I've been an avid gamer ever since.

 

[VelinDraconin]

My first console was a boxy NES. Had to save up soda cans and recycle them for a whole summer when I was a kid just to afford one...my father believed that working for a thing made it more valuable than just getting it. Still think those games were some of the best ever, cause when graphics were only 8-bit, companies put a bit more focus on actual gameplay.

NES, I still remember opening that thing up on Christmas morning, 91. I had no idea what it was when it was wrapped, and even after my brother and I opened it I wasn't quite sure what it was. I was the happiest kid in the world though, with Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt, plus a rad blaze orange zapper gun. I'm sure my mother regrets buying it, along with renting Monty Python and the Holy Grail when I was 10. Now I'm a sarcastic gamer with an eccentric sense of humor.

 

[Nazulu]

NES, Ah those were the days. Those days developers would actually improve game play with every game they released, it was just a great time to be around.

 

[dark-amon]

A really old PC (at least I think it was a PC, maybe it was one of those consoles that look like a PC.) All it could do was to play 4 games, pac-man, hangman and two I don't remember.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

Well if you're including them, mine was a game boy. I was so excited when I got one of those at the time. Shame I got it a few months before the Gameboy Advanced came out.

For home console, it was the Nintendo 64. I had a lot of fun with Donkey Kong 64 and the Pokemon games of the time.

 

[King of the Sandbox]

Well, the first console I ever owned was an Atari 2600 in 1982 (I was 3 when my parents got it, so I didn't really play it til I was about 5), followed by an NES later in '89 (I was 10). I consider the NES to be my first console, as it was bought for me specifically.

Man, I'm old.

 

[Booze Zombie]

PS2, my first game on said system was Timesplitters Future Perfect.

Ah, the memories.
Mmm, Jo Beth Casey...
