My first console was the Atari 2600 Jr and my first video game for it was Jungle Hunt. I was about 5 or 6yrs old at the time and I loved it! The only other games I had for that system was ET (haha) and The Empire Strikes Back.

It was a short lived experience because I received my NES Action Set shortly after that and it got all the attention lol

It's crazy how fast those 30 years have gone by and where we are at today with video games and consoles.

It was one of these Grandstand TV games with different variations of Pong.. with Mr Mullet himself Kevin Keegan on the box!

I think it was in 1979 :O

OP
mine was the wood-grain atari there. My grandmother bought it for herself but allowed me to play it from time to time. First one I got for me was the nes. First one I bought with my own money was one of the gameboys I think (advance or colour maybe).

My only memory of my dead brother is his helping me beat zelda 2. so I kind of have a thing for that game and console.
Sorry for your brother.

Mine was an Atari 2600, which at the time was called an Atari VCS. It came with Combat, and I got Space Invaders with it from Santa.

Later I got an Atari 400, then an 800XL, and that was my precious. After that I stopped gaming for many years, and was eventually pulled back in by DKC and LttP on SNES.

Sounds about right, I started with the older version of this (same thing, different style basically) and that was 1978.

I’m curious. Mine was a GameCube this is why I searched for the bios for nintendont. Tell me tell me tell me!!!

Edit: First game was Super Mario Sunshine

Awesome. We're a decade apart (console-wise at least). SNES + Super Mario World for me. I still have my SNES and I can still crush Super Mario.

I originally borrowed my sister’s red Gameboy Color, but then I upgraded through the years to a PS1, and I even remember how excited I was to have a DS Lite.

I remember having a glacier GBA first, with Pokemon Red, Silver, and this weird Bionicle game. My brother, at the same time, had a white GBA with Yoshi's island. The weird thing is that I remember my GBA more than my second handheld, the DSi. Also, I got a DSi after the 3ds was already released. I know I'm rambling now, I just like talking about my early childhood. On the DSi, the only games I remember having was Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon Platinum.
