My first system was an Atari 2600.

Christmas 1987 - NES. Had been obsessed with owning one for the better part of a year when some of my friends started getting theirs. Managed to convince my parents to get me the basic console + Super Mario Bros. No light gun, no ROB, but all I needed was SMB. My older sister who was an avid tennis player convinced me to get the black box Tennis as my second game but it wasn't long after for my birthday but probably spring of '88 I somehow snagged Legend of Zelda then began saving up money that summer for SMB2. Still the greatest Christmas present I have ever received.

My first system wasn't a "system" necessarily, more of a plug-and-play, it was a Coleco Colortron Pong machine. Eventually my brother and I were given an Atari 2600 with Space Invaders and Asteroids, which I consider a real "system". The first one I bought with my own money was the newly released NES - and maybe two weeks later, an Atari 2600 Jr. to replace my original (damaged the on switch too much from frying games).

I'm surprised I hadn't posted here already in the nearly 11.5 years I've been here. If you count it as a handheld: Game Boy Advance, 2002. If you count it as a console it was a Nintendo 64 in 2003.
