What was your first video game system?

[Cousin Eddie]

Mine was....... Intellivison!

http://www.intellivisionlives.com/home.shtml

I still have it! You can also download a few games from the site to play on your computer. So all you little kiddies can experience how video games started!



Then i had an atari 2600 .... then NES, then playstation then playstation2.

[1stpfloyd]

Pong...you know where soccer, hockey pinball. baseball where all the same.
Can't find the one i had but it was something like this one http://www.pong-story.com/vm.htm

[soso0901]

Gameboy was my first video game type of thing. N64 was my first real console. I ended up buying an SNES after my 64 though. Then got a Playstation - a PS1, with the little screen that can attach onto it. My brother and I used to play International Superstar Soccer on that thing during long car rides for hours on end. Then I got an Xbox. I don't know if I'm going to get any of the new systems. I want to wait until the price goes down at least. I'm also intrigued to see the Nintendo Revolution. I have a feeling it's going to be terrible but it's unique controllers have me curious.

[edit]
I also got a Gameboy Color in there at some point.

[Canty]

Megadrive II. I got it for Christmas with a 3 in 1 pack which had Super Hang On, Italia '90 and Columns, I also got The Lion King as well.

[USB]

N64 then Playstation then playstation 2 then xbox

[crazybeautiful]

Atari, Nintendo, Sega Saturn, N64, Playstation and then PS2. I still play the original Mario on the Nintendo. Unforunately the Atari crapped out years ago, the Nintendo however, is still running strong.

Intellivision
Atari 800
Atari XE
Atari ST
PC
NES
TurboGrafx 16

[Naruto]

Mine was Nintendo, but to be honest I don't remember how I got it. You know how you're a toddler than one day your memory becomes functional and you have control of yourself? Like the transition from a baby to a child. Well I guess when that happened with me, I already had the nintendo.

[Sketcher]

My first system was the NES. I got it for my 5th birthday in 1990.

[camilo]

Mine was atari 7800, donkey kong kicked ass.

[Maverick_Hunter]

My first system was also the NES... Loved that consol...Still have it with an assload of games...Then the Gameboy ( The big ass one that didnt fit in your pocket so u had to buy the carrying case with the shoulder strap) SNES, Game boy pocket,Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, Game Cube, Xbox, Gameboy SP. Nintendo DS, PSP, Xbox 360.

[evilmittens]

Atari 2400, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, PC, and then finally a Playstation 2

[Face Plant]

Mine was....... Intellivison!

Itellivision now thats old school.

My first was hand me down from my older brother, an NES and a Vectrex. Anybody heard of Vectrex? http://www.classicgaming.com/museum/vectrex/index.shtml

[ZeroTigerX]

My first was the Nintendo Entertainment System! So damn fun, and we had like 4. Where'd they all go?

P.S. I'm sitting next to a box with a NES, a whole bunch of games, Zapper, and controllers. I wish I had the RF adapter and power cable. T_T

EDIT: Oh wait, my brother (Maverick_Hunter) already posted that. Nevermind.

[Shookemsmm]

N64.Still have it to.

[Cee]

I got 2 systems my first time: TurboGrafx 16 and NES, because my dad didn't want to choose between the 2 (both had Space Invaders which he loved).

[Fried_Sushi]

My first was the SNES. After the SNES I got an N64, a playstation, a dreamcast, a Gamecube, an Xbox.

[ThePope#15]

Mine was the N64. I still have it. The best console ever in my opinion.

[Frostdaddy]

The Atari 2600. My god, I loved that thing.

[Big_Jake]

My very first system was probably one of the best to start with, the nes. I got it in 93' (i was like 4 or 5 ) and ive pretty much been hooked on gaming ever since, ive managed at one time or another to own pretty much all systems except dreamcast, i got the 360 and needless to say am pleased with it, regardless of what all the microsoft bashers may think.

I started out with Atari then Nes, Turbo graphics 16, Sega gennisis, then Sega saturn, Play Station, Dream Cast, now PS2

[DannyboyKills]

Atari 2600!!! My uncle gave it to me when I was a wee lad, no more than 5 years old. I remember we had pac-man! It was a good day.

[TheloniousMunnk]

SNES (super mario world), Original Gameboy (space invaders), N64 (mario 64 and goldeneye), PS2 (GTAIII), Xbox (Halo), Xbox 360 (Call of Duty 2)

**super mario world was by far more challenging than any new games...

[Schizophrenic]

Colecovision. Was my sisters, found it when I was really young. My parents saw I was enjoying it, so they bought me an N64 not too long after

[Teh Gir]

PC's are not systems.. they are pcs

[airguitar]

I started with an Atari 2600. The games look so crappy now but the way they were played was the important thing, and some of them are still somewhat enjoyable, otherwise Gametap wouldn't even bother with them. You could spend lots of time on one game trying to get better and have a new high score. Most didn't really seem to have an end unless you died or just got bored.

Also, I'm surprised anyone said they had a Colecovision, because I've only known one other person who actually played on one. It was a little ahead of its time, so a lot of people thought it was weird. The basic controller was a joystick with a numberpad, and you could buy a special sports stick with a bunch of action buttons on it for baseball, boxing, football, etc. They also made a "kid's computer" as an upgrade.

[522viper]

atari 2600 and super nes
man those were good times. :)

[MikeHawk]

I'm probably the only one on this forum to get a Sega Master System. When I found that it sucked I had my parents buy me a NES. Brings back memories.......

Anyway my systems were:
Nintendo
Super Nintendo
Gameboy
Gamegear

[Enjoi]

[esruC]

Nintendo Entertainment System.

[Fried_Sushi]

My first was the SNES. After the SNES I got an N64, a playstation, a dreamcast, a Gamecube, an Xbox.
When I saw this I was thinking holy shit same as me then I looked at who it was and it was me, this moving threads thing is almost as confusing as when MG got high and screwed with everyones head on E/N.
Nintendo sixty foooooouuuuurrr!!!!! Not really, I just wanted to say that. It was really a super nintendo.
You have the same problem (you already post here :banghead: )

[eadgbe]

I had an old 386 pc with dos, then windows 3.1. best game ever: cosmo's cosmic adventure by apogee games, actually all of the apogee games were amazing, like the duke nukems and stuff. then i got a game boy, got rid of it, then a NES, got rid of it, then an N64, got rid of it when i started emulating games, then a gamecube, and now a new PC again. it's much better than the 386, and i can pretty much play games from all of the above systems on it, as well as playstation, dreamcast etc.

[firepiss]

When I was 6, first system I ever owned myself was the Nintendo X-mas 1989.

First game I ever played was frogger for the atari when I was 2 from what my parents told me.

[Viceroy]

PS1
PS2

That's it. Before that they were always PC games.

[Madthief]

The first console I ever got was my PS2. I had a computer before that and played some PC games. I would have had a console much sooner than that, but every time I convinced my parents to rent me an N64 from Blockbuster, I turned into this kid:http://www.dumpalink.com/media/1143536510/Insanely_Happy_Kids

Now being that kid wouldn't be too bad at first (he does look happy) but imagine trying to take the N64 away from him. If he makes a lot of noise when he gets the N64, imagine how much noise he would make when he loses it. Ya, so my parents didn't really want me to have one of those in the house all the time.

[whocares]

NES was the first video game system I have ever played. A system full of classics...

[Willie]

Sega Genesis was my first. Then i got a Sega Nomad...basicly a portable sega genesis but it had a nice backlit screen and everything, played all my gensis games and even had a adaptor for a controller for player 2. Then i got a N64, GBA and a game cube. Now i just use my computer.

[Ænema]

Sega Genisis. I remember playing the Ninja Turtles game and Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Good times.
