Your first Videogame Console
 

After realizing the Xbox 360 will have its 10 year anniversary next year and reminiscing about itthe whole day I had this idea for a thread.

I wanna now what the first ever console was you guys had. I dont mean the first one you played with but the one you clearly remember either getting as a present or buying ourself :D

I will never forget the fateful christmas eve of 1997 I got my first console. I had played with my older brothers snes and genesis but never owned a console myself. That night though all changed when I saw this giant box underneath the christmas tree. After ripping away the wrapping paper I saw the gigantic logo proclaiming me the proud owner of a Nintendo 64. The same Christmas I got a second controller, Diddie Kong Racing and the always awesome Super Mario 64.

Great, an entire thread of dating myself. Onore-Convoy.

The first thing I played games on was a Radioshack bought Tandy computer, the kind you hooked into the television and had to program to run anything. Ah, the times I had to type Goto 10.
But my first actual console was when I turned eight, I think, and we got picked up from day care after school. Mom and dad bought me and my brother an NES with Super Mario and Duck Hunt for our birthdays (They're only six days apart). I loved that thing. Batman from the first movie, the first TMNT, Master Blaster. Oh my favorite game by far was Blaster Master.

Atari VCS. October 1979.

My first handheld system was the gameboy advanced with a few games. I remember waking up really early that christmas and seeing a big box under the tree. Opening it up i saw a GBA and four games, Pokemon Sapphire, Rugrats go wild, Matchbox search and rescue and Rocket power game. I didn't play those three games and just spent most of my christmas vacation playing Sapphire, those were fun times.
My first actual console was the Gamecube with Smash bros melee and a second controller for my brother. I only got melee because it had Pikachu on the cover. :lol Like Sapphire i ended up spending my vacation playing that with my brother.
Unfortunately my parents weren't compitent enough to buy a memory card and i ended up getting one for my memory with me yelling. "Yes! Now i can enjoy playing as Doctor mario and Jigglypuff!"

Mine was the Nintendo 64. If I remember correctly I got it when I was about four, so 1999. I remember having Mario Kart for it, but I don't remember any other games I got with it when I originally got it.

Nintendo Entertainment System.
It technically wasn't "Mine," but living with a brother meant we had to share a lot of things.

360... I'm young. :lol

That one was the very first I read up on before its release. With the N64 and Gamecube I ddnt learn of their existence until they were already in stores :lol

I was four so yeah, I didn't know about it until I got it as a present :lol
