Super Nes! I remember saving for soooo long and then still had to convince my mum to let me buy a second hand one. My brother was so jealous i use to use it as a means of getting him to clean my room or do my chores just so he could play mario bros (he still likes to remind me how protective i was of it ;p)
I still have it somewhere, ahhhhh
Now I have a PS2, but seem to be playing on the PC more and more

First proper console i played on was probably my sister's megadrive. The first computer games i played were on a BBC or an Atari ST. I used to own pong and sever other old consoles, but my mum threw them out when I went to uni  |

I remember being 5-6 and playing mini munch man handheld thing (beat my older brothers to the high score of HHH). I got my Brownie badge for computers at 8 with a 486, Windows 3.1 effort.
But for console it was a big old Game Boy Classic but that didn't last long. PSX, Game Boy Colour, PS2, GBA SP, DS and backing vocals from PCs and Macs.... Been a wild time of car racing and bizarre platformers. |

My family had the Atari 2600 I was maybe 7 or 8 years old at the time, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. My brother and I were addicted to Pitfall, and I don't think either of us actually finished the damn game.
The console that really turned me onto gaming was the old NES- the first time I picked up Super Mario 3 I was hooked- I can still play and win that game in less then 30 minutes when i put my mind to it. |

wow! what a trip back in time... i also remember playing those BBS games. my favorite was a Star Trek space game where you typed in move coordinates and it calculated whether or not you hit your mark, a game object or the computer 'player' gotcha. the visuals (graphics) were just ASCII characters plotted on a black-white command line driven display, and your imagination drove the rest.
how things have changed! yay!

My first console was an Atari 2600 and a couple of el cheapo games for it that were pretty sucky and entirely forgettable. I soon upgraded to the Sega Master System II and fell in love with platformers due to Alex Kidd in Miracle World and subsequent Alex Kidd titles. Progressed to Sonic games which I thought were fantastic due to the speed of Sonic across the screen. Soon after that learnt to appreciate RPG's such as Phantasy Star and Shining in the Darkness.
My console hardware progression has been:
Atari 2600
Sega Master System II
Sega MegaDrive
Nintendo SNES
as well as PC gaming which started on a 386SX-25 and where I fell in love with LucasArts point and click adventure games.
I have none of the latest gen consoles (except the handheld DS).
Handhelds have been:
Gameboy
Gameboy Colour
DS
I also bought and played GameGear and Atari Lynx and others well after there day when I began collecting. Unfortunately cleared out heaps of stuff a few years ago and a lot of that stuff went with it. Regret it now. Still have a few collectable Nintendo Game and Watch games including Zelda and Donkey Kong II. |

| The first console game I played was Sonic the Hedgehog on the SEGA Master System. I was much more of a DOS gamer on my early years. The first console I owned was a egg yolk yellow, brick shaped GameBoy, which I loved very much 'till the day it died of old age, on my very hands. It was a sad day. |

Uuuh now I get all nostalgic ... I was only 10 and it was a ZX81 with 1kb memory and a ping pong game. Next a Spectrum before I got the absolute monster machine... a Commodore 64 with 256 colours and absolutely fabulous graphic for playing Frogger, Jet Pack and all the text-based adventure games like Zork and the hobbit game, where I got helplessly stuck for days when trying to solve the puzzles. I also made my own Donald Duck adventure in Basic 3.5... those were the days
