I got a Sega Genesis with a ton games to go with it back in 1997. My second one was the original Playstation back in 1998. I got the original PS as a X-mas gift. I got Bug's Life, Spyro and some Rugrats game back in 1998. I've been gaming since 1995. I used to play games on my friends and family houses.

I got a console pretty late because I couldn't afford them. So for a large part of my early life, I was a PC gamer. My first console was a Game Boy Color, and my first home console was a PS2.

My family did share a lot in my early years, i played humongous games a lot on the family PC. And the first game i played was mario kart 64 on my brothers system.

Humongous Games? Like Putt-Putt? Love those!

Hell yeah!

My first was a PS1, and it still works pretty well!
But my Memory Card is busted... :P

I'm one of the people who owned a NES as a first system. Funny thing my mom was against it until my dad told me my school work wouldn't suffer for it.

My first game for it was the Super Mario Bros/ Duck Hunt pack with a grey Zapper. Since then I owned TMNT 2 and 3, Mega Man 4 and 6, NARC and the Batman game based on the movie.

I own more NES games but I can't remember them off the top of my head.

My first ever console, period was the Megadrive. First ever console bought for me, if it counts, was a Gameboy colour and first ever console I bought, I think was a replacement PS2 when it first broke?

Maybe it's not the norm, but the first ever console I properly bought for myself as an adult was probably my PS3 I got when I moved into my new place, consoles are expensive and not things I've ever really been able to afford.

Things like my PS2, Xbox and 360 etc were all bought for me and my earlier consoles like the Megadrive, PS1 and Gamecube weren't exclusively mine.
