When I was 2-3, my father pulled out an old NES from the top shelf in the closet. He blew off the dust and said it was given to him by a cousin of mine (I assume when they got a SNES). He popped in Super Mario Bros., tried his hand at it and did really well. Looking back I don't remember how far he got, but he made the guy on the screen move and I was mesmerized).

It took me and my still-forming mind a few days to understand it. I love my NES and still have it. It doesn't work anymore, but it's a memory of a time when my father and I shared a common interest.

My first console would be a PS2. I played the Donald Duck Superhero game on it. I found it amazing back then.

First handheld was a GBC. Pokemon Blue went everywhere with me. Got 300+ hours on it.

First console would probably be the PS1, although ironically, I got a Sega Mega Drive II only a couple of years later.

First handheld was a GameBoy Advance SP (front-lit

I had a C64 but as others have said that doesn't realy count. Since then I was like the anti-console with PCs all the way. It wasn't unitl the DS and then the Wii that I actualy got into consoles.

I think it was the SNES or the Game Boy Pocket. But I also had a Super Game Boy. Anyone remember it? It allowed you to play GB games on the SNES. I remember the border it had when you played games on it.

I can't remember the first, but I had an atari (can't remember which one, at my dad's house, we have like all of them), and NES. I'm guessing atari was first though. I was looking at the first page of this, going "ps1? really?" lol.

Am I really that old at 20?

There was an Atari 5200 in my house before I was even born, then an NES when I was like 2 or 3 years old. Then a Sega Genesis when I was 5, then we didn't get anything new till the N64 came out.

NES however, I did not know anything about gaming back then and my old man threw it away. T_T

My first console that I knew anything about was the PSX, which was modded and still works. =]
