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.

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.

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. |

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 |

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. |

My brother and I were Sega Fans, so the first console we got was the Sega Master System, on which we played Sonic the Hedgehog, followed by the Mega Drive (Another version of the Genesis) later we bought the Dreamcast. Other systems were the PS, PS2, a Game Boy, a Game Boy Colour and then came the Nintendo DS.

My first console was a good old SNES. I remember I used to rent the console from our local video store practically every week, until my mom and dad just bought me one because it was getting too expensive. *lol* I'm pretty sure my first game (as of what I can remember, anyway), was Super Mario RPG. I loved being able to follow the plot and laugh at all the absurd jokes.

My beloved SNES... This console hits you (me) right in the heart an stays there... Even if it's old the graphics still looks AMAZING! have you ever played DKC3? just take a look at the backgrounds.... stunning! The games were great and my first meeting with the console was ALTTP, the most awsome game ever (one of them at least)... I still remember when i was 4 years old and tried to solve problems and almost cry when it was so hard... and how happy i was when i finally solved them ^^. As I said there isn't words enough to describe the influences this gray plastic thing had on my life, but maybe I'm just to nostalgic again thinking of F-zero, Super Mario world, Super Mario world2 (one of my favorites), ALTTP, DKC3, Mario Allstars and many more.... This is a console that hit me so hard, that even if the gray shell with it's physical matter dissapears and remain only as foggy memories. or even of the memories fade away with everything else. The marks it did on me will stay. Oh sorry... my bad..... but I'm 100% serious!

My first console was the Super Nintendo that my brother let me share with him until he got his N64, then he left it with me.(Which ROCKED!) I was about 4 then, and my first game was Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. That game ROCKS, and is the game that really got me hooked on RPGs. Then some of the classic Marios, and DKC. |

I later bought a PS2 with savings + birthday money, and so far i've gotten GBA SP and a PS1 afterwards. I'm thinking about buying a new console, but so far it could be anything else than X360.Re: What was your first console?

Hi, first of all: Awesome site. Have been here for a while and now decided to join the forum to tell you the story of my first Console, my NES: I also got it from a friend of the family when I was about 5 or 6 years old. Since then I annoyed my parents with constant yelling "I'm booooooooored" so that they would stop watching TV and let me play with the NES (we had only one TV back then). |

Super Nintendo, which I remember having, but don't remember playing, which quickly became a Sega Genesis. I love playing that, and Sonic 2 was SOOO cash. The next was the gameboy pocket (Pokemon fucking ruled back then) After that came a Playstation 1. Since I was absolutely oblivious to Final Fantasy at the time, I played Spyro the Dragon. Good times. Then came the best console of all time, for me atleast... and the sales don't lie. The Playstation 2. I admittedly missed alot of games, and am kicking myself for not discovering sooner. Marvel vs Capcom 2 anyone? But, the Ratchet and Clank series, and GTA 3-San Andreas were great. Then I got a used GBA, so i could play the old FF games, and find Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. My choice in the next gen console is the Xbox 360. I got the Elite model with a free copy of Assassin's Creed, then i picked up Lost Odyssey. I haven't played it often, but I love it. So, there is my whole life of gaming wrapped up in one paragraph, any questions? |

I had an Atari 2600 as my first game system, but I can't remember if I had played Wheel of Fortune on the PC before or after that point. Kind of similar to MonkeyMen's story of his SNES, I don't think I could've sustained my lifelong addiction to video games without a friend of my mother's giving us his kids' NES because they never played it. I would rent games from the local video store which only had like two dozen to choose from at its best point, so there were enough repeats that it was like owning some of them. I think Zelda 2 was the first game I actually owned after receiving the system and the title theme for that game still blows me away with memories of how great turning that on for the first time was. Since then I've owned each Nintendo home console, a Dreamcast and an original X-Box. I can play PS2 games because my girlfriend has one, but I've never bought a Sony system, nor do I intend to. |

I begun with my old friend the NES. Starting to play Legend of Zelda and Mario Bros. And a couple of good and bad games. After that, we skipped the SNES and we did bought a N64. In 2003 we bought the GameCube because of The Wind Waker and after the Cube we bought the Wii. I also had an PS1 and still have the PS2. And all the handheld's from Nintendo.

Why is that? The ps2 is the best selling console of all time for a reason, and you can probably get one for 80 dollars if you look real hard. Unless you're just happy playing with your girlfriends ps2. But yeah, it's an amazing system with a godlike amount of good games. |

some people like to limit themselfs from great games by blind fanboy nature, in all honesty its stupid and immature and could definately hurt the gaming world. hate the system because its controller hurts your hands, or it killed your mom.... or just dont buy it if it doesnt have any great games, but a ps2.. come on dude your full of it if you say it did one of the previously mentioned things. PLAY GAMES NOT SYSTEMS and TAKE a chance on a new unheard game, just because its not #6 of a series doesnt mean its completely terrible... *hops off the soapbox* Oh and my first system was an NES, It was a christmas present to my family when i was about 3 months old. Earliest memories are of dragon warrior's fight music and Super mario bros overworld.

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.
