Your First Gaming Console?

[Babitz]

Gameboy advance. Yeah, I was pretty poor so I've never had a NES, SNES or Playstation during my early childhood.

 

[King of the Sandbox]

Mine was a ColecoVision [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ColecoVision].

Not exactly the most recent piece of hardware, but it was fun at the time!!

I got one of those down the line from my uncle. It had a weird, backwards staged Donkey Kong, iirc. I also Circus, which was pretty k-rad.

mine was n64 and a snez the later belonged to my bro

 

[OmegaCheese]

Was my PS2 first or my GBSP? I dunno, I'm pretty young so I don't know how great old consoles, thats if they were o course.

 

[ZickyJackz]

The Nes, and Mario 3. Ahhh, good times, man. Mario wasn't a filthy whore, and times were simple.

My sister had an SNES that i used to steal time on when she was at school, though "my" first console was the N64 and I loved that thing...Till ps1 came out

Game boy colour with pokemon red.
I didn't own my own console - but I used to play on my brother's playstation.

 

[andreas3K]

The very first game machine I ever played with was a Windows 3.1 pc, but the first one I actually owned was a PlayStation 1.

The Nintendo 64, I can barely remember it but I know that I had a great time with that thing, too bad it doesn't work anymore.

NES and a Amstrad based pc made in Germany, it was called Schneider or somehting like that, had no drive, everything was loaded from floppy drive mounted in the keyboard at the numpad side, monochrome display, used to play prince of persia on it ..good old times <.<

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

N64. No, Gameboy Color. Actually, I can't remember which it was, but it was one of those two.

Haha, me too! The Amstrad was bought used of a friend of my brother. I was very young at the time and only occationally played on it, since I didn't know the advanced commands to type in to play a game, and I didn't understand English well at the time. Played great games such as "Thundercats" and a game called "Chuckie 2"(?) and a sweet ninja game called "Saboteur". Only two colors on the monitor: green and dark-green
Later came the Nintendo Entertainment System. "Super Mario Bros." , "Rush 'n Attack" and "Double Dragon 2" were awesome. After the NES period, I sold it and used the money to buy a brand new "SNES" with "Street Fighter 2: Champion Edition"(?), probably one of the games I have spent the most time with. I still know every super move of all the characters.

I was actually looking for a NES to buy and use here in York. I live(for the moment) in York, England, and every Saturday there is a gamer that sells retro gameware at the market. He didn't have a spare NES though.

Retro games are coming back..

 

[Little Duck]

Pc (first game was Doom 2, when I was 4. My parents did themselves proud that day), then N64 (when I was 7, first game Goldeneye. My Parents outdid themselves again), then finally game boy colour.

 

[snide_cake]

My first console was a SNES and my first games were F1 racing, and flying WW2 airplanes.

The first PC I had was a Windows 3.1 based computer with Tetris, Wolfenstein and Doom.

 

[mikecoulter]

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.

Did you hunt him down and kill him?

Mine was a lovely PS1. Followed by an even more lovely Gameboy Pocket.

 

[Ekit]

NES that i got from my cpusin

 

[MetaKnight19]

The good old fashioned breeze-block that is the original Game Boy. I've still got it around somewhere *goes searching for good times*

 

[ShroomMinus]

SNES.

Just pure awesome.

Yup yup!
Super Mario World was amazing.
I recently got hold of a SNES to reply it.
Too easy looking back at it, but fun nonetheless.

 

[Bobbovski]

8-bit Nintendo. I'm pretty sure that I played on my brother's computer before that, but the nintendo was the first console that I could call my own.
