So which gaming console did you first get when you were younger and played on all the time when you should have been doing homework or learning to play an instrument?
What was your first gaming console?

True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
(I'm guessing computers don't count) We got a Super Nintendo when I was super young, I don't remember when. That's the first I remember - possibly around age six. I played The Addams Family, Kirby, and The Simpsons to my heart's delight before it stopped working.
Although I played some very early PC games before I got a NES, Nintendo's first was my first.
The first games I remember playing were on PC and on my parents' super old GameBoy. One of these suckers.
My first console if we aren't counting PC or handheld was a PS2 that dad bought for cheaps from someone he worked with. I got it well and truly after it was released and I remember it felt like Christmas.
Yeah add me to the "my first console was a computer" list. I wasn't console gaming until I had already been PC gaming for ten years.

Aye, PC gaming was my first foray into games. Then it was a PS1 if we need to specify a console.
In 1992, A texas instruments 386 SX IBM compatible computer. It was running at 20 MHz, had 4 MB of RAM and 200 MB of hard disk space. Lotus turbo challenge, f15 strike eagle, that's my early youth.
I didn't actually have a game console until 2001, which was a PS2. In 1999 we did get a much faster PC though, one with 300 MHz and a 32MB Riva TNT2 graphics card (an upgrade a few years after buying the PC actually). With my newfound processing power, I discovered SNES emulation, and i could also run more recent games such as Need for Speed 2/3 and Battlezone. My first computer was too weak to run Sim City 2k, but this new beast had no issues with it.

everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
The NES for me. Fond memories of Duck Hunt, Paperboy, Super Mario Bros 3, and a Teenage Mutant Turtles Game.
My first console was a PS1. My dad had a NES and SNES but the PS1 was the first to be mine. But I was already a PC gamer by that point
First gaming machine was an Amiga 1200 - stuff of champions - and my first proper console was the PS1.
My brothers had a nintendo 64 but i never played it. they also bought a PS1 and that was the first thing i played... I still remember my first game was Nicktoons Racing lol
NES, shortly followed by Sega Genesis and Game Boy.
So neat to see how many of us had computers first! We had an excellent upbringing, my friends!
The first console I asked for and got for myself was the Sega Genesis. My grandparents also got one for us at their place for some mysterious yet equally awesome reason. I actually couldn't play it as much as I wanted except for sick days and weekends and such. Which probably explains why I binge so much on gaming now...
Our cousins had a SNES and we were at their house a lot
I cant remember if the first one we had was a PS1 or a GameBoy.
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
