mine was a gameboy color, first game was blues clues (gimme some credit i was only four )

It was an NES. We had just moved from Hawaii when I was like 5 years old, and my mom's friend gave us their NES with a whole bunch of games. Still have it, though a whole bunch of the games are missing.

an Atari. I remember the joystick only had one red button, nothing else. lol So classic... :p

wow i guess im old skool my first was a commodore 64 and Atari 2700 then i remember NES / famicon when i got it i was like im so cool. i still have my NES with almost all US released games

My first was a Game Boy (you know, that heavy grey brick).

Mine was a super nes. My cousin didn't use it anymore, so he gave it to me. best part was, it came with super mario world, kirby superstar, and all three donkey kong country games. I thank him for it. If not for that old super nes, I may not be able to whip my fiends in brawl like I do today

Holy crap Archard! That's the SAME EXACT WAY I got my NES, mine also came with a bunch of games! How many other people inherited the NES from a friend of the family, I wonder. Anyways, my first console was my GameBoy Pocket I got when all my friends had the Color. I was probably around seven. I managed to convince most of them the Pocket was better in all ways except it displayed it's picture in the gray scale. Oh, and you can't argue with me about it; the Pocket had a contrast wheel.

Does borrowing count? =P The first console to be in my posession was a NES which my dad had borrowed for me from a friend of his, and I played that for a few months. I only got 3 games with it; Nintendo World Cup, Megaman 4 and Super Mario Bros 3, all of which I played almost every day of those few months to the point where my thumbs ached. Man those were the days. The first console to be actually owned by me was my PlayStation (the original big grey box, that is) which I bought after saving up my weekly allowance for almost a year. =P First I didn't even have any games for it, just played the few demo CDs that came with the console. And then when I finally had the money, I went and bought Spyro The Dragon which was my first very own console game. I think I was about 10 or 11 at the time. Besides me and my PSX, our family never bought any consoles as I was the only kid and my parents weren't that much into gaming, except my dad who was crazy about those old LucasArts adventure classics (which actually weren't that much of classics back then YET) on PC like Monkey Island. He didn't care much for consoles, though. Before my very own PSX, I just played games on our PC. And occasionally when I was at a friend's house who had a (S)NES or a Sega Saturn or some other contraption, we'd play them.

hmmm im not sureif you would consider it a console but i got one of those old Mr. Game and watch haldhelds other then that it was probably the gameboy (brick). now im starting to collect snes games but i dont have a snes to play them on so if any of you want to get rid of yours (blasphemer) you know who to contact O_o, and yes im willing to pay =P

SNES with Rock Man X, from my pops. I still prefer to play it on SNES rather than the PSP port.
