What was your first ever game console

[Fijiandoce]

That was the original Nintendo, not the SNES.

the original Nintendo Entertainment System it is then

for the record, i hated that bitching dog! isn't there a version where you can shoot his arse?

Yup, that was NES, but man did anyone miss having to play with friends in contra going through obstacles, helping each other out and then getting mad at each other for dying?..lol

i got that a lot. i was quite young and very eager to play. but my skills were nothing special. suffice to say, the other person playing played hardcore mode all the time, every time, when i had a controller all the lives were wasted on me

[PeanutButterMunky]

Nope... there was never a way to shut that dog up... lol.

[PeanutButterMunky]

Don't lie, that's you.

[Fijiandoce]

It was the NES for me. I got it around the time it was dying out and the SNES was just starting out, but I still loved it.

[SomaXD]

well... i was born in '82... and my parents already had an atari 2600 from 1980... so... an atari 2600! i was born a gamer!

This first that I can remember was this bad boy (I was about 3 or 4 when I played this):

Coleco Telstar Ranger

Now for a standard console, the Atari 2600 & Atari 800 PC were my first true systems that I played on a regular basis!

My first console was the NES and my first game was Super Mario Bros.

I was 5 when i started gaming.

ZX Spectrum. Used to buy those programming books and spend about a week making a program that just made a stick man jump up and down. Loved Jet Set Willy!

I remember that thing (and no I don't feel old lol)

My first console was an Atari 26(?)00. Kicking my dads ass at pong and TANKS! was too much fun...then the NES came out and it was all over for me. Been gaming since.

original Playstation...............still believe that white start up screen with a gold diamond is a stroke of genious

My first was Pong. However, I can't find my exact Pong console image online. It was 2 pieces. The "main" controller was long, and it had 2 dials. One for the control, and one to choose the gametype. The second controller was connected to the long controller, but was much smaller and just had the one controller dial on it.

Odd that I can't find a picture online.

Was it a specific game console or was it just a straight up Pong console?

It was Pong, and you would move the dial for different pong types, and maybe you could adjust the ball speed?

IF I remember correctly, it was like this I think (just did this quick in Publisher)

So it only had three dials and one of the controls were detachable?

Was it this bad boy?

Guess I'm one of the very old gamers here too, I started off on a Binatone Colour TV Game Mark IV:



Then moved onto the Grandstand Video Entertainment System (Fairchild System F):



After that it was the BBC B as the first computer (dad got it free from the NHS):


Then we got the next one free which was the Acorn Electron (my all time favourite computer):


And I'll stop with the next one we got free from dad's work to help with medical research utilising the Prestel Cheese Wedge modem! So I've been online since the days of Prestel (1986) before the Web.

@Varsh, Nice list! I remember dialing into BBS's back in the day before the internetz, I use to dial in using this sweet gem:



Let me tell you, you haven't lived until you download a 500k picture over a 1200 baud (or slower) modem! I remember my first download was that size and it literally took around an hour to download! You kids now-a-days with your megabit speeds...get off my lawn!

[Varsh]

Yeah when the medical research moved off the BBCs dad had to get a PC and we had a 3600 baud modem. It was great in those days and it was still before the Web! Mind you back then the cost of going online for even a minute was upwards of a 20 pence. There was so much bragging at school during those times that's for sure.
