My first game console was my sega-genesis which was a great system back in the day and i still bring it our of retirement occasionally, but these days that old stuff is gone most of the time. Definetly ahve upgraded to the next level game consoles.

Great thing to hold on to the older ones if you have them..you never know what they can be worth in a few hundred years;)+

I am old, my first and only game system was an Atari. We played space invaders and PONG! There weren't very many games, let me see........ there was a game with planes and tanks........ one with cowboys shooting at one another, and pacman. We just bought the kids a game cube for Christmas this year, and it's really cool. So much better graphics. They love it, and the game cube has the most age-approporiate games available.

heya my first game console was a Commodore 64, it was around at about the same time as the Atari although i think it came out a few years earlier. Unfortunately i do not still have it although i have an emulator for it on my computer so i can play all the old games if i like. I used to love impossible mission, and for me because i was so young, like 5, it really was pretty impossible :)

I thought that the commodore 64 was actually a home computer system you hooked up to your tv..I know that you could play games..but wasn't it also some kind of personal computer?

Saga? Nintendo? My first was atari. Does anyone remember Commador? Atari was the first, I played pac-man, astroids, and pong. I thought I was the luckiest kid on the street cuz I had the atari. Then came the Nintendo and Super Nintendo and Mario took over my world. They are still my favorites today and my kids play them on their Nintendo DS. Those were the days.

When I was five or maybe even a bit younger, my father bought me an Atari game system for Christmas. I was so in love with that thing, lol! We must have ended up owning about 30-50 gams for it, and the last time I tested it out it still worked. Mind you, that was probably a few years ago. then I got a Nintendo, and owned maybe 10 or less games for it. then I got the Sega genesis, and only owned the Aladdin game for it. Since then, I haven't really kept up, and mostly do my gaming on the computer if I feel like gaming. ^_^

That was a great game Mario and the duck game..So do you still have your nintendo or do you still play it..or has it found a nice little corner in some closet or worse a not so desirable place in the local garbage dump.

I started out with the NES in 1989. That christmas is one of my earliest memories, actually. I got the console from Santa, and my dad got the Jeopardy! cartridge from Santa. He actually played that game, which is surprising, since he now loathes, despises, abhors and abominates video games.
