My first console was an Atari 2600... it was between 1985 and 1988, then a Nintendo in either 1987 or 1989. The first console I bought was a Super Nintendo, and that was probaly 1994 or 1995, and the first brand new console I bought was a Wii 2 years ago followed by a 360 this year. (I ended up trading the Wii, Guitar Hero 3, Paper Mario and Twilight Princess for an xbox 360, xbox, and about 40 games and a year of LIVE that I never used because it was linked to my friends account).
The NES Action Set for Christmas in 1988.
Intellevision 2
Mine was Intellevision 2, with Lock'n chase and Burgertime. I had played apple computer games before that on big floppies.
My favorite was the NES though. We had bought the mega pack with the robot and Geromyte. Still have it, but lost the box... Keeping video game boxes seemed worthles at the moment. Now the Earthbound box is worth as much as the cartridge itself. lol
Ah, yes, the first game console. Games really had no priority in my family for many years. We had my father’s Pong system (an APF TV Fun) and eventually an Atari 7800 with two games. Later on, we purchased a Sega Master System from a garage sale with somewhere around 7 games. That was where most of my memories of classic gaming "back in the day" came from (outside of the Pac-Man and Popeye machines we had in the basement at one point). But, in 1991 (I think it was somewhere around then, may have been ‘92), I became caught up in the marketing craze of the Sega Genesis. I HAD to have one. My parents were building a spec home at the time, so I was put to work picking up nails, being paid a penny a nail with the money going towards a Genesis.I’m pretty sure I didn’t find enough nails to cover the cost of the Genesis, but when Christmas rolled around that year, there was a brand new Genesis with its flashy colors, amazing sound, and Sonic the Hedgehog. I guess that was really the first console that I had the say in purchasing, but I still consider the Master System my first. I love that console and play it almost as regularly as the Genesis.
I gamed DKC at my babysitters house frequently and she knew I loved it so much she gave me her SNES. Needless to say, I was a happy little bugger.
I was 3... memories
My 1st console was a Master System. It was before I got huge into Sega stuff, and now regret not caring if my parents got rid of it (we still had the box and all documents for it)
My first console was a Sega Dreamcast. I still remember saving for it and my parents surprising me with it after I got my report card. My poor Dreamcast broke my freshman year but I refuse to get rid of it.
had an atari but never really played it....I remember my dad broke a promise to me and he felt horrible afterwards, so the next day when he came home from work he had the action set NES under his arm! probably the best day of my life, for sure.

Colecovision circa 87-88
SUPER PONG in maybe 1975. I really liked it and to this day I think it is probably the nicest PONG system.
Then I was so excited when the 2600 came out back then I thought games like Slot Racers, Combat, Western Shooter and Night Driver were just the cat's meow. And then we got Asteroids, Space Invaders, ET, Pole Position and all the rest. Boy I was hooked!
Also Intellivision.

The first console in our house was an Atari 2600 that my father bought my Mom as an anniversary gift.
My brothers and I finally got a Sega Genesis model 1 as our first console. Then a model 2 Genesis and so on. We didn't have an NES or SNES until much later. We were pretty much Sega-only until after the Saturn. (Excluding Pokemon and the GameBoy).
So I guess you can say we missed out on a lot of other games, a neighbor had an NES and our dentist office had Super Mario World on the SNES, so it wasn't all that bad.
first one i played was a atari 2600. first one owned was a nes action set i think got new for Christmas. it came with smb3. wish i knew what happened to box because would like to have it. first one i bought was a dremacast from goodwill around 05 i think.
my games. don't have xbox just games for it. game gear is messed up.

My first system was the Atari 2600 (woody) which I got back in '82 or '83.
And my first handheld was Gakken Fishing which I also got around '82-'83.
i would play on my uncles Atari 2600 1987-88
then he came home one day (keep in mind i was only 4 at the time and he was 17 so still at home kinda deal) with a brand new NES.
Plugged it in and we played that thing and i was like a kid who just walked into Disney world for the first time!
Sega Genesis, in 1998. I was 5. We got a Nintendo 64 not long after that, then a Play Station 1. I was hooked to the PlayStation for a long time, especially with Crash Bandicoot games such as 2, Warped, Crash Team Racing, and Crash Bash. Good times (:
Real collectors drive Hondas, Toyotas, Chevys, Fords, etc... not Rolls Royces.
NES, in 1987. Just came home from school one day and it was set up, Super Mario + Duck Hunt waiting patiently for me.
Super Nintendo. Got it at about 1993, and me and my sister were hoping to get Super Mario World as our first game. But instead, we ended up getting Monopoly.
I was in Japan at the time so it was the original red and white Famicom.
Thinking back, I find it VERY bizarre how the 2nd Player controller had a built in MIC. Truly ahead of its time, although I never remember any games making use of that feature, except for Doraemon.
My first console was a Sega Genesis Model 2, acquired in 2002 at, of all places, the Oshkosh Air Show.
They have some pretty crazy booths in the back.
Came with Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and Sonic 3D Blast. I still have it as my primary Genesis (the one I have hooked up all the time, and the one I use most peripherals with).
We had Pong in 1977 and the Atari 2600 in 1980. The first system I bought was the NES in 1989, then the Sega Genesis in 1989. By the time SNES was popular in the mid-90s, I didn't play video games and had sold them off.
