Sinclair spectrum 48K
I don't know if these were ever released in the US, but in the UK they were everywhere in the 80's

My older brother had a NES and SNES, but the first console l owned was a Gameboy Colour. My first game was Pokemon: Yellow. Good times.

Gameboy Colour, man that was ages ago.

When I was a little kid my dad had an SNES and he played Zelda constantly. I was always a fan of Super Mario 3 though :cool

I didn't get a console until last year (not counting emulations), which was a GameCube.
I've never had enough money, so I was a PC gamer all my life. I lived in Bangkok, so I
could score a ton of bootleg games for pretty much nothing, which probably explains
why my game collection was so eclectic.

My sister had an NES when I was really little, I remember playing Super Mario 3, Ninja Turtles, Tiny Tunes, and some cave man game.

Then we got Sega and I used to play a shitload of Mortal Kombat and a Lion King game. Then, after that N64 and then Dreamcast. I spent an excessive amount of time playing Dreamcast.

Yea, NES was the first console I ever knew about. I used to constantly watch my dad play The Legend of Zelda. I thought it was the coolest game too, not because of the game, but because of the heavy gold cartridge it came in haha

I was four years old and my dad bought it! But yea, you're right, if at the time I had the ability to comprehend money and be able to buy things, I would've bought the game purely on the case :cool It's so shinny oooooo

My first console was the NES because my mom bought one for my dad when I was born. (That's when they first came out)
I played on it for about 3 years until the first GameBoy and SNES came out. The SNES is my favorite console of all time.

Very first console I tried was an Atari system. Can't remember exactly what it was, but I do recall playing Pong. My parents later bought an NES along with Donkey Kong. Few years later, a SNES with Super Mario World. And so on.

Before I had a SNES console for myself, I used to bug the hell out of my cousin just to play his. Good times.

Atari was the first console I played, it Pitfall and that Olympics game which I could never figure out lol.

When I got the NES I remember playing tons of Mario, Megaman and here a few other notable, yet slightly more obscure ones:

My dad used to always beat me playing this one, cuz Larry Bird never missed a three-pointer -.-
