Just wondering what everyones first system is. Mine was an N64 and the first game i played was lego racers. Good times.

Edit: Wow only 2 SG users who voted here started gaming in this decade. Were all old.

As mentioned in the title my promotional GA:

Classic NES for me, got it when I was 7, in 1989. I'd played games with friends a few times, but that was when I got one, played several different Atari's before that though.

First game was obviously Mario/Duckhunt

Binatone TV Master Console - sometime before 1979 - it's so long ago I can't remember when exactly but I know I played it in the house I lived in before we moved in 1979 :)

I vaguely remember playing Pong on a Binatone, but my first computer was really the ZX Spectrum.

My first system was the NES. 1985, I was 5 years old. My first game was Super Mario Bros. I had the NES system with Robbi the robot so I can Gyromite with it and the zapper to play Duck Hunt.

I first started playing games on my cousin's Commodore 64. I bought my first PC in late 92 and many months later I bought a Game Gear.

Also N64, best console ever! I still plug it in and play once in a while
I can't remember exactly what game that was the first I played for the console, but my favourite was, and still is, Ocarina of Time :)

Acorn Electron for Christmas of 85 or 86, not sure which. It came with a few games. Boxer might well have been the first one I played on it but I really can't remember.

If you count the PC, then the PC (probably Prince of Persia was among the first). If you count handhelds, then the Gameboy (Tetris was the first, obviously). If you only mean the traditional gaming system, then it'd be the Sega Megadrive II (still have it!) with a 4pack including ESWAT, Sunset Riders, Shadow Dancer and Dick Tracy.

First one we personally owned was a PS2.

But I always played on my friend's N64 and my brother's friend's Gamecube when I was younger.

The oldest console I remember playing on was the PS1, though I think I was on the computer a lot more for the dumb point-and-click children's game of that time. xD

Magnavox Odyssey² all I remember about it was it had bad clones of space invaders, and pac-man. Also had a Pong game. Used the Tandy Color Computer and TSR-80 for most of my gaming. Never did the Nintendo went the Sega route instead. Then over to playstation.

We not only had an Odyssey2 and a TRS-80 but we even had the original Magnavox Odyssey in the 70s. The games came with these transparent overlays you put on the TV screen and basically all you did was move little blocks around behind them.

Atari 2600 Junior. It must have been 1983 or 1984, something like that.

Commodore 64. I remember playing Wonderboy, Bombjack, Ghosts 'n' Goblins, Ghostbusters, Ninja, Paperboy and The Untouchables. Probably others but can't remember.

I may have had a Pong thingy before that that you connected to the TV. And some Atari.
