I had been playing video games at friends houses for a long time but my parents never wanted to buy me a video game system. Finally they got me and my brother a Genesis model 1 for Christmas in 1992. It's still the best Christmas gift I've ever gotten. I still have that exact Genesis hooked up and I play it quite often.

Atari 2600 (original 6-sw wood effect) with Combat
NES, but not by much, as I got an Atari 2600 roughly a month later. Whenever I got tired of Dragon Warrior, I'd switch to the 2600 and fly a few missions in River Raid. Great way to deal with the stress of five-year-old life.
Mine was NES with the Ninja Turtles game
Nintendo 64 w/ Mario Kart 64.
64
NES with Super Mario 3.
a Gameboy with some awesome games (Megaman 2, Mario land 1 2 3, Wario land etc) was the only thing i had as a kid

My first console was a PS1 and my first game, Super Mario Land and Tetris. is my best game ..............
Me and my sisters always grew up with the Super Nintendo so I guess that was my first. I remember when I was about 5 years old watching them play Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country 2 and 3.
Around 1997, I was in summer day care and I noticed everybody had Gameboys so I asked my mom for one and for my birthday the next year I ended up getting a red Gameboy Pocket with Pacman and Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. So I guess that would be considered my first system.
That's how it is with our Super Nintendo. My sisters all grew out of video games so I took it over and it's been hooked up in my room for years now. Just played some Yoshi's Island about an hour ago, too.Originally Posted by Polygon

I was a very late bloomer. I got my first console on my 15th birthday. It was 1994 and the fateful glory was a model 2 Genesis with the Sonic 2 pack-in and a separately-purchased MK II. I've been hardcore for the Genesis ever since.
I was 11 or 12 when the 2600 came out and got one. I had my original until 1999 when I moved across country and decided to leave it behind.
Diabetes Sucks!
Atari 2600 when I was 2? 3? Not really sure and I think at the time it was actually my dad's, but it became mine so it counts.

when I was 3 or 4 I got to touch my uncle's A2600 clone, some weeks later another uncle's Famiclone and on same year X-mas my dad's very own Famiclone (that sucker is 17 years old now)
My own very first game console was another Famiclone my uncle gave me for birthday when I was 5 or 6.
mida sa loed ? nagunii aru ei saa :P
My first console was a second-hand Sega Master System (mark/model 1) in 1991, at the age of 10. It had two built-in games (Hang-On and Safari Hunt, with the Light Phaser).
It also came with a separate game, Double Dragon.

My first game console - or at least the first game console in our household - was a Philips G7000 Videopac computer, outside of Europe known as a Magnavox Odyssey˛
The hardwired joysticks were crap, and once they broke my father tossed the system out, so unfortunatey I don't own it any more...
/edit: It could have been the Schneider G7000 Variant as well, since that one was produced in Germany. I unfortunately don't know exactly any more (that thing was even older then me and got tossed out not long after we got our Commodore 64, so I was 3, 4 years tops at the time.

The first console my family had was an Intellivision. We had so much fun with it, particularly with the AD&D games, that my parents ordered an Intellivision III after the original died on us.
The first console I played was my brother's Snes.
My first console was a Multi-Mega which I still have now!
Multi-Mega systems can go for a pretty penny on eBay these days.
The first system I got to play at home was the NES, which was my sister's (I don't even remember her getting it, one of my earliest memories involves playing with a Mega Man 2 cartridge, not playing the game, but running around with the cart in hand). It's mine now but only on a technicality, she hasn't touched it in easily 20 years.
The first system that was mine was my SNES, which I got in the summer of 93 with the Super Mario World bundle and Super Mario Kart. I still have it, although the original controllers are long missing, and the case has some raised bits on the top where I put the screws back in the wrong place about 2 years ago, and it has finally started to lose the battle against the evil that is ultraviolet light. I can rebuild her, and she will always be mine.
