When you were young, what was the FIRST video game console you had in your house?

The first console I ever owned was the SNES, back when I was 7. I remember asking for one for Christmas and also the game Super Mario World with it, since I had played it all the time at daycare and liked it. I not only got that game with it, but five others as well. Two of them were ones I never played (NCAA Basketball and Liberty or Death, I think), one was Monopoly, one was Sim City (which I played occasionally), and the last was A Link to the Past. The last one instantly became one of my favourites, even though I had never heard of the Legend of Zelda series prior to this. I'm guessing my parents just picked other games that got good reviews.

My very first console was a Sega Genesis that my parents bought me, then they bought me a Nintendo 64, and my very first handheld was my Turquoise Blue Gameboy Color.

The black and white Gameboy during the new introduction of Pokémon red. Did not touch that for more than a decade.

N64. Ah, the good ol' days. Trying to play Zelda OoT when you're three years old and don't speak a single word of English, let alone read... T was fun. I did do decently in MK64 back then, I'm told.

I remember owning a PlayStation 1 and a Nintendo 64. Although I don't really remember any of the games I owned (except for a couple of Spyro games and Crash Bandicoot games). I no longer have both systems.

The very first console I had was the Game Boy Color, unfortunately the screen broke and practically made it unplayable. Then took me forever to save the money to get a Game Boy Advance, but man that thing took so much abuse from my sister an still played with no problems.

The first game I got addicted to, or I should say games since I got both Pokemon Red, an Pokemon Blue. I played them both more times then I can count.

My first was an original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), and my first game was an obscure little gem called Terra Cresta.

I'd say PS2, since I remember seeing a scene from Kingdom Hearts when I was young and not caring beyond the fact that Jack Skellington was in it. I promptly bloodied my knees when I left the room and didn't any other video game experience until I got my GBA for my birthday a couple years later.

My first was a Gameboy colour, and my first game was Pokémon Red! :) The only other games I remember owning besides the main pokemon ones were some Barbie fashion game and a bugs bunny platformer? My friend had one of the super Mario games and I borrowed that a lot... but mostly I played pokemon!

As for non-handhelds it was an N64 with Pokémon Stadium and Mario Kart. Best Christmas ever! xD
