    PONG.

    Yup, PONG. Parents had it. I remember sitting in the dark on my dads bed being completely transfixed by the little moving dot. I would BEG my dad to let me try it. Of course I had to wait for him to finish his game. But I was pretty impatient and wanted to play NOW. He would finally let me and I usually didnt have the skill to hit the dot more then a couple times. I got a little better at it but my dad got rid of it soon after. We then moved on to an Odyssey II, and Atari 5200, an Atari 7800, then an NES. I also had steady access to friends 2600, colecovision, and intellivision.

    btw I am 30 years old

    Yo

    My parents celebrated my moving out of the house in 1981 by buying my 13 yo sister an atari 2600. Of course I had to visit often to be able to play it.

    In 1983 I bought a coleco myself for $159.00 and thought I was the shiznit. And my sister and father got bored with the 2600 a year later and gave it to me. So of course I still have this six switch

    Atari 400, I guess. I played my father's 2600 for a couple years and then bought the 400. At first I played nothing but games on the 400 until I could afford a disk drive (and a memory upgrade) about a year later. Later on, when my dad grew bored with the 2600, he gave it to me.

    So the Atari 400 was the first game system I owned but the 2600 was the first I played regularly.

    Atari 5200; it came bundled with Super Breakout. I think this was circa '81-82.

    I'm gonna say the Atari 7800, but I'm not totally sure on that one.

    I recieved my first gaming system back in 1987. It was a shiny new NES purchased with Super Mario Brothers and The Legend of Zelda. There has never been a more life-changing day than this one...

    Got me a Sears heavy sixer 2600 in about 1979 or so. I remember it very vivdly -- we had moved far from our extended family up north the previous year, and after the school year ended we went to visit for the first time (just mom, me, and sister). When we got back, dad said, "welcome back! why don't you put your suitcases in the closet?" When I opened the closet, there it was. Played the hell out of that boy.

    My first game console was the NES. I received it on my second birthday as a gift from my uncle. It was the package with Gyromite, Duck Hunt, and Super Mario Bros..

    Dependent on what counts a C64 or NES. C64 was the first system I played games on and was owned by my father, my first self-owned system was the NES.

    First console ever: Intellivision. I was only three at the time, and I remember having an Atari 7800 too. Parents bought an NES somewhere around 1989, and then... in the glorious Christmas of 1993, I got my Sega Genesis
