What was your first console?

@KitsuneFox59  - May 14, 2008, 9:34 p.m.

Remember that day so many years ago when you first unwrapped/bought/stole that shiny new console? What was it? How did you get it? What games did you play on it first?

My first console was a Sega Genesis. One morning at Christmas, my sister and I saw a huge box under the tree for both of us from Grandma. When we sat down to open the presents my sister and I both went for it first, but Grandma wouldn't let us. "Open these smaller ones first," she said, "save the biggest one for last, okay?". In a hurry, we opened the smaller ones. I got The Lion King game and my sis got Sonic Classics (Sonic 1, Sonic 2, and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine) both for the Genesis. I loooked at my grandma, "But how are we supposed to play these? We don't have a Genesis!" "Oh, I guess you'll just have to play them at my house," she replied knowingly. Finally we were allowed to open the big one, and there it was, in all its glory: A brand new Sega Genesis.

Haha, does the TRS-80 count as a console? If not, I guess it would be the Atari 2600 or Coleco Vision. I think I just won the "old guy contest."

That's not too bad. When I got a Gameboy Color, my first game for it was "Cubix: Racin' Robots". I was 11. That game was horrible and just loved insulting my intellegence.
Mine was also the Game boy colour (bright green). My first (nintendo) game was Pokemon yellow (was 8 or something). loved it.

I was given a gameboy color when i was 5 because i was the only preschooler that could read in my school :D. It came with Pokemon Blue. That was the only game I truly played for about 6 years. By the time i was 10 I could name all 150 Pokemon in order with types, stats, moves ect. I probably have more than 1000 hours in my gameboy on Pokemon Blue + Crystal. And i probably "caught them all" 100 times. I still my play my gameboy color regularly to this day...*cough*screw the ds*cough* :D

Intellivision Babaay! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellivision I was about eight or so when I got these back in 1998. I bought like a crap load at a yard sale.. Maybe 10 or so consoles(the more the merrier :D) and several cartridges which were duplicates. It was awesome.. I was an old school gamer before I became a gamer. After that I got an Atari 5200 which was awesome.. I played so much Moonlander. I was still pretty ignorant of three dimensional games and I hadn't realized I was playing the old stuff.. until I got a Playstation; this was the turning point in my life.. and not for the better.

it was the most f***ing epic console EVER!!! was the Super-Sonyc-64! ... had a fat wad of cash, free time, and more free time...the only 1 of its kind (home-made) and was pretty much just a PS1, an N64, and an SNES welded together in a case that i made, and my dad painted Sonic the hedgehog on it :) ... plays N64 and SNES games with a sony PS1 paddle, and my best hack yet! ... a week later i wrote a no-CD crack for starcraft :D...look up what it is and you'll see :)

The first console is Dandy, and then more and more modern. There were great times, you could enjoy the games, the development of this direction and culture. And now I like online casinos more and play mostly only through a mobile application.
