First console ever was the purple transparent GBC, which was actually my fathers but he never really played with it and came with super Mario land.
First Game I bought with my own money was Pokemon Yellow and first console I got was a GBA SP for christmas.
First Console I bought with my own money was a 3DS Xl with Orcarina of time.

Do pong systems count? lol but the 2600 would be my first cart based system. Was pretty cool, somehow I ended up with all the old systems people didn't want so I had a ton of stuff as a kid.

Surely they do, I counted my 70’s Pong game, but like you I added my first “proper” console, just in case :D

Commodore 64, seems most people on this forum aren't that old seeing the majority of systems listed are newer ones well what i would consider newer ones atleast

You get used to it, but there’s a few of us old wrinklies about :D

I think of anything around PlayStation/N64/Saturn era, “new” systems :P

For me, it was an original GameBoy and a copy of Pokemon Red-- That was the first console I ever personally owned.

As of the first one I can remember ever playing, it was a Sega Genesis, and the game was Sonic 2. I don't remember how old I was at the time, but it's certainly the earliest gaming memory I can recall.

Plus, whenever I talk about my early years with family, they're very quick to note that the first games I played were Sonic 2, Columns, and Pokemon Red a bit later.

Now that just makes me feel old :D

I care not though, I got one of those too, but my dad bought it for me :D I’ve already got my pre-order in for the next one they are releasing in December, even though I still have my C64

oh no way didn't know they're gonna release that. I was so upset that the keyboard didn't work when I got it. Guess I'll be getting this one too!

Yeah, it actually looks pretty good, not that mine's likely to come out of it's box, the C64 Mini hasn't. Damn obsessive collector impulse :D

I started out with a gamecube with pokemon channel, sonic adventure 2, and some others that I can barely remember and a gba sp with sonic advance 3, TMNT, and some others because I got rid of the gamecube and the gba sp a long time ago

I later on got a AGB-001 and modded it with a 101 screen and at the time of this post, I have all of the mainline gb through gba pokemon games excluding green.

But if this was about oldest console that I own, I have an atari 2600 and oldest computer is the TRS-80 color computer 2 which are both things that my father used to own.

Now I have them :P

The first console that was actually mine that I asked for was the original NES with duck hunt/super mario bros.

Before that I would play my Dad's old Coleco, which I never knew about until I started asking for a Nintendo, and it suddenly came out of the back of his closet. Held me over for a couple years though:rofl2:
