Mine was also NES :)
I still have it, but it's not in the best condition to play with. If I set it on the floor, as soon as someone walks too heavily and shakes the floor, the system would freeze. That's pretty frustrating seeing how you can't even save games back then!

I started gaming on my siblings' 2600. The first one that belonged to me was the NES. I still consider it to be my first love  |

Gameboy for me. One word, Pokemon. shhhhh
After that was...the Ps2. Pretty lame but as the only gamer in my family it took a LONG time for my parents to get me a console. |

My dad had an Atari 2600 and a C64, which he then let us ruin. I was only little at the time. But our first real Console was the Sega Mega Drive. I still have it (plugged in under the PS3 and Wii ), and we still play Ecco and California Games on it regularly.
Oh, and Street Fighter 2 turbo!! And the old Mortal kombat. lol

| SNES. I got it when I was 8 right after it first came out. My first games were Super Mario World and Mario paint. Loved em! I'm still a Nintendo fan today, but PC games are far better....*dissappointed at Wii game selection* Oh well, I still play SNES roms all the time. Tales of Phantasia is my favorite! |

SNES was my first, and it's propably still my favorite console - I've played Super Mario World and LoZ: Link to the Past way too much.
I wish I had grown up with Atari, though. I've played it and other older consoles afterwards, but it's not the same as actually living your childhood with them. But hey, it's not like I was capable of deciding when to born. |

The first home system I ever played was when I was 8, we went to our neighbor's house b/c our house had just caught on fire and they had PONG. That was it, just one game consisting of two lines and a dot, but I was fascinated. I'd tried the Atari 2600 and spent all my spare allowance at the arcade playing such amazing things as Donkey Kong and Asteroids. When I was 13, my mom bought me a ColecoVision. It had an attachment that played Atari 2600 games and it came with 2 games (Donkey Kong and Venture) and two gigantic controllers with number pads. However, the games ran between $30-50 in the early/mid 80's, so we really couldn't afford them. The Atari games were usually $10-20, so I got a lot more of those. I only got one additional ColecoVision game and that was called "Campaign '84". (I was 15 and yes, I picked it out). The point was to become president by shaking hands, avoiding bad press, getting campaign contributions and dodging the issues. I learned that carrying 51% of the vote in 13 states is enough to be elected president and which states to hit first.
That machine is also why I don't buy new game systems. My mom payed $300 for it, the next year it was $150, the next year it was $100 and the next year it was obsolete. I recently bought a Wii, which is the first NEW game system I've bought in my adult life. I bought a NES when the SNES came out and so on. That way I- a) don't spend 2-5X what something will cost in a couple of years and b) I don't end up with a Sega CD or a 3DO. I was just looking at the wikipedia enteries for video game consoles. The generational history entries are interesting, IMO. I was just looking at the original sale prices for the PS1 ($300 US) and the N64 ($200 US) and thinking that, by waiting, I paid 10% of that for mine. With the PS1, I got 2 controllers, 8 games and a memory card for my $30 when one of my co-workers paid $300 for a new PS2. I bought the Wii b/c it's different and b/c my wife isn't much of a gamer, but she does like the interactive types of games at places like Dave and Busters, so I thought we could be able to play together more with a Wii.
I still have every game system I've ever gotten, except that I did sell my GameBoy Color when Jodi bought me a GameBoy Advance SP since I could play all the games on that. I've still got the ColecoVision that I've had since 1982 and the NES I've had since 1991 as well as all of those I've bought since, and they all still work. I took the ColecoVision to work in 2000 after the presidential elections to help illustrate to the kids about the electoral college. They played Campaign '84, although they were amazed at the crap graphics. 
Peace, |
