First games console?
 

What was the first games console you ever owned?

Mine was an atari I was addicted to the Smurfs game which was essentially just the same level over and over just a little faster each time [emoji23]

And also a spectrum.

literally this bad boy

I personally owned many Nintendo handhelds including the Gameboy, Gameboy Colour,Gameboy Advance, DS, and 3DS. My family didn't get a console because my parents hated video games but finally we got a Wii because it was "active". In the last few years I have purchased a Wii U and Switch, but last Black Friday got a PS4 and have realized what I was missing out on.

I had both of those.

Atari first, then an Acorn Electron, then a Speccie zx, then a Commodore 64, then a Mega Drive and finally a Playstation.

That rang some little bell in my head.

Pong was my first game

Nintendo64 :flutter:

PS1

Atari :laugh:

i had one of them too :laugh:

Then I shifted up to one of these:

I had a ZX Spectrum with rubber keys, Jet Set Willy was the best game.
My brother had a Commodore 64 and an Atari.

I got a Sega Megadrive and was amazed by the speed of loading the games.....after spending years waiting for tapes to load up, then crash, then try again.

Street Fighter 2 Turbo was the first game I ever played.

DS or Wii

Either Nintendo 64 or GameCube

I remember playing Mario Kart 64 after Nursery onwards (2/3 years old) but I got a GameCube when I was 5. I'm sure I have a memory of playing Super Mario Sunshine younger than that though :laugh:

First that was officially a "console" was PS1, although the oldest console I now own is a SEGA MasterSystem.

But the first "thing I gamed on" was one of these badboys:

And then onto PC gaming on the Compaq Presario 486/66, DOS and Windows 3.1 (later upgraded to Windows 95) :laugh2:

I still have my sega master system and play it occasionally I loved Alex the kidd in miracle world and ghouls n ghosts [emoji23]

My uncle bought me a SNES for Christmas when I was either 6 or 7. It came with Super Mario Allstars (aka that package with 3 or 4 amazing games :love:)

Sega Megadrive/Genesis.

The original XBOX.

I'm slowly developing a retro consoles / games collection. Got the Master System and Ultima 4 for my wife's 30th birthday because she was obsessed with it as a kid :joker:.

The games cost as much as the consoles though... I have a mint condition SNES Zelda that was over £70 :omgno:. Also a mint condition original grey GameBoy in box that's worth a bit.

Considering breaking into my friend's parents house because I know for a fact that there's a cupboard there packed full of his old N64 cartridges, all in brilliant condition, most worth £50+ and I'm pretty sure he has no idea they're worth anything at all :joker:.

I was a big Amiga fan back in the day. I had computers before that though.

Sega Megadrive / Nintendo 64

And its my life's mission to own a Nintendo 64 and Diddy Kong Racing again one day
