Family had a Coleco Telstar as early as I can remember (before age 3 even) but it was only hooked up every now and then.

FIrst cartridge system for the family, my dad bought an Intellivision along with most of the sports games... I did get a bunch of non sports games over those early days though. Dad sold it and all our games to family friends near the end of the 80's. Wish he hadn't, those games were all CIB, and still had the overlays.

Mom let us buy a Arcadia 2001 at like a charity sale. It was like an intellivsion (even down to the same exact controllers) but with worse games. Speaking of games, came with a bunch, good thing as I've never seen this or any games in stores. Might even still have this in a pile of junk that resides in the basement, but it hasn't been seen in decades. The games were not CIB and many overlays lost thanks to my sister not ever keeping anything nice (even to this day) and me ignoring it once I got the next system up.

First system that was just mine was a Nintendo (entertainment system). Still works, thanks to blowing on carts all those years (yes it DOES help to blow). It was the Control Deck system with SMB included (not a combo cart with Duck Hunt or anything else, those didn't start for a few years afterwards). Thank goodness it also included TWO controllers (hear that modern consoles?) and a/v cables besides the RF adapter. Now sitting next to a Dreamcast under a desk being used as a HDTV stand in my bedroom,

Only console I can think of with micro in it's name is GBA Micro
 
My first console was a Gameboy Advance SP (with backlight!) I got it when i was around 3 with Mario Kart Super Circuit, Wario Land 1, Donky Kong and Super Mario Land. Had really fun with it back then (espcially with Zelda the minish cap <which i "borrowed" from my Sister at the Age of 4>. I still have it and some times i even play with it.

Atari 2600 with strange looking and big joystick(it's different from the original joystick, but better), i think it was pre-loaded with several games.

I think i got it in 1989 or 1990.
The only games i remember playing on it is two games, the first one was vertical shooter airplane.
The second game was hide and seek game, two characters and one start counting and the other hide in any object in the house (sofa, table, etc), i used to play this game a lot with my sister.

mine was a PS1 with Croc legend of the gobbos with it
the disc got scratched up so my mom decided to trash the console (with my memcard) instead of the disc
but that was before i understood how it worked

i bought another for 30$ at the local antique shop and i just need to find a new memcard for it
