what was your first console?

[Liex Link]

Mine was N64.

It was for my Bday and my parents bought SSB64 with it.

[Skrah]

Mine was snes..

 

[drcossack]

Oh man, snes had some killer games. DKC was love. I made it to the snow level, and then I got my mom to help finish. xD

I love that game. So much. 7_7

I was playing DKC from the start again last month and I was amazed that I actually managed to get through it when I was 8. Those were the days, when games were actually difficult, and there was no GameFAQs back then.

When I was like 4, I kept stealing my sisters sega out of her room, learned to hook it up, and than would play Sonic!

roflmao. My first was NES. I don't remember much of it before I was 3. I was able to read around that time, and while I couldn't play very well (my parents did most of the work), I'd be in there and read with them. I don't remember much beyond that, but I do remember that I had my mom beat Ganon in the original Zelda. I can't imagine a 3 year old taking on an invisible Ganon that moves around the room shooting fireballs at him/her.

Console list - don't remember when I got Sega stuff or the pre-3rd Gen handhelds:

NES
SNES
GameBoy
Genesis
GameGear
Sega CD & 32x
N64
Game Boy Color/Pocket
PSX
Gamecube
PS2
GBA/GBA SP
DS
Wii - as long as I have room for VC games (If I can find one, I may even get a 2nd one just for those), I'll be happy with this for a LONG time. I really don't plan on buying another system, since I have more interest in classic games than I do modern ones.

 

[Thino]

Atari 2600 here boys

 

[wangston]

Mine was the SNES and I had Super Mario world for it. Those were the days. I had played the NES before then but the one i owned was the snes.

 

[Yuna-Maria]

OG Nintendo right here.

 

[kingdom-triforce]

The original Gameboy if it counts.

If not, PS1.

 

[hectichobo]

Consoles:
Genesis and NES.

Games:
Sonic 1, 2, and 3
Kirby's Adventure
Super Mario Bros. 1 and 3.

Handheld:
GBA. (Also my only handheld system )

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I also had an old school gameboy...They HUGE ones. Complete with Tetris, of course.

...We still had these old school systems while my neighbors (This IS years later) had a Super Nintendo.

I liked coming over to their house and playing Super Mario World, Mario Paint, even Aladdin. Eventually, they got the best game EVER...Donkey Kong Country 2!

 

[Vorguen]

I started with the NES until I was about 5, when my mom bought me an SNES. Then I moved up just like everyone else, but I still to the day play my SNES. (unfortunately my NES broke, but I play some ROMS from time to time)

 

[rinoH]

i started with the N64

 

[Vorguen]

I feel bad for people who didn't start off from the SNES, they really missed out on so much of what was lost when games became 3-D exclusive. Not to say the N64 wasn't amazing, it just wasn't enough to take the SNES out of my heart. Not even close, to be honest, SNES is still my favorite system.

 

[Zeruda]

I got a used Atari on the same day I got my NES, so you could say those two were my first. I have to agree that those who came into video gaming post-2D era really missed out. Thank goodness for ROMs and Virtual Console, yeah?

 

[Vorguen]

Yeah, but most people who started gaming in the 3D era didn't even want to try out 2D games, unless of COURSE they were for Gameboy. lol

 

[DrakeRowan]

First family console was NES.

My first PERSONAL console was the Sega Genesis.

 

[Vorguen]

I never liked any of the Sega consoles, I didn't like any Sonic games really and that cancelled out the need for any of those systems anyway. The only thing that was fun was that my cousin had a dreamcast with House of the Dead 2, which including the two guns he had, was FUN.

 

[freeman123]

Mine was the NES. I got it when I was about 5 or 6 years old, and I still have it.

Thank goodness for buying the original consoles and games off of eBay or searching for them at Goodwill.

My friend got 90% of his consoles and games, which he has a LOT of (for instance, he has 60+ Genesis games and he didn't get the Sega Genesis when it came out), from Goodwill. The other 10% are ones he really wanted and so he bought them off of eBay. It's thanks to him I got an SNES, a model 1 Sega Genesis, a Sega Game Gear, and an NES. He's also found a Dreamcast, Master System, and Saturn that he's going to sell to me at some point in time.

Getting the original console >>>>> any other method of playing old games.

 

[Darkslash]

Getting the original console >>>>> any other method of playing old games.

I have to agree. Playing Star Fox or Rouge squadron on an emulator bleeds white in comparison to the real thing. If a player using the N64 vs a player using a keyboard, controller would win. Plus it isn't as awkward as much.

 

[Fire!]

I started with the NES with the SMB/Duck Hunt package. The perfect starting point.

 

[kosmoco]

Sega mega drive played sonic 2 all day. good old days.

 

[Vorguen]

Sega Mega drive? Sonic 2 wasn't that fun. Might just be me for some reason Sonic games were never that interesting to me.

 

[The Fail Tracer]

I actually started with the SNES.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Sega Genesis, which is still my most perfect console ever.
Next is the Game Boy Color(the regulars were hand-me-downs)
Then the Nintendo 64, in all its glory.
My GBC broke, so, well, take a guess.
Same happened to my N64.
I bought an old Playstation with FFVIII for about 20 with some genesis games. It eventually got stolen(with the memory card AND Marvel VS Capcom)
I got a GBA.
Then a GameCube.
Slim PS2 for the win.
My GCN fourth controller slot stopped working, so I had to buy a new one.(I gave the old one to my bro)
My sister bought the DS at shopko.
Next came the GBA SP.
Then the Wii, boy did that take a long time to get.
All hail the 360 elite. It is that awesome.
I finally bought a Super Nintendo.
Last, but not least, is the sweet Playstation Portable. It's very fun.

 

[toon_marth]

First system? n64. first game? mario party... the first. I know, epic right?

 

[Electric Eel]

My first system was the Sega Genesis, played Golden Axe forever on that.

The first one I owned was a gameboy colour.

 

[notftomearth7]

My first console was the N64. I am absolutely anal about keeping it in perfect condition, because of the value of entertainment it provides.

 

[Vorguen]

Did you at least give the SNES a shot?

 

[notftomearth7]

Did you at least give the SNES a shot?

Yes. But I'm still entertained by my N64 more.

 

[ExCeL 52]

Pretty sure .. Snes.

 

[Fat NISMO]

SNES or a gameboy color. I cant seem to remember which was first

 

[Geist]

geeeeze.... I first played the SNES when I was 4. The first game I played was Super Mario World, which was first released the day I was born.
It was also the first game I ever beat.

 

[Vorguen]

There was still a lot you might have missed out on from the NES. There were some really epic games there too.

 

[SuperMetroid44]

Handheld: Gameboy Color

System: Nintendo 64

 

[Donut!]

First system: NES

My dad bought it for me for my zero'th birthday, I got baby pictures of me with a controller in my hand sitting next to a R.O.B. Yeah he bought a R.O.B. too.

Good times.
