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

My first handheld was a ds (my cousin hacked it and that got me interested in hacking) and my first console was a wii
 
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.

I actually got the c64 mini for my dad as that was what he grew up with and he actually loved it.

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!
 
  • First handheld: Game Boy Pocket (for Pokémon Red Version)
  • First console: Nintendo 64

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:
