What was the first console you ever owned?

[GJB93]

Remember back to the time you played your first ever game console. It might be a Mega-Drive, Saturn, Amiga, whatever it was.

 

The first console I ever played on was the Mega-Drive. Oh how I remember playing Sonic for hours on end, thinking it was the best game in the world. There's also another game I can remember, but I cant remember the name of it. You flew a helicopter around picking people up and bringing them to safety. We still have it around somewhere, but I'm not sure where. The leads are broken though, so I wouldn't be able to play it anyway :cry:

 

 

Wheres sad banana when you need it? lol

Add another person for the Atari 2600 list, I spent way to many hours of my youth (some would say that anyways, but not me :D ) playing the games on that system. My favorite had to be a game called Berserk. Not sure if that game ever had an end cause I played that game for over 8 hours straight once when I was about 8. Had to finally turn it off at about 1am so I could get to bed lol. Old thing still works if I had a way to hook it up to a tv around here, bought a second working one (with a bunch of games and accessories I didn't have) at a yard sale a couple years ago for $10 which I didn't think as to bad of a buy.

[The 12oach]

Sega Megadrive FTW best console till the moment i found what live was

[YeOldeTDUMan]

The first console I owned was a Grandstand 3600 !!!!!

 

Still have it somewhere.

 

It came with 2 twist controllers and a light gun and you selected the games with a slider on the machine. I think the games were Squash, Tennis, Football and Shooting.

 

In terms of other machines my history is as follows (and this is where I show my age again)

 

ZX Spectrum 48k (rubber keyed version)

Atari ST

Playstation 1

Playstation 2

Xbox 360

 

Oh and I've also owned ...

Atari Lynx (a fab piece of kit)

Nintendo Gameboy Advance

[neil12345]

An Oric or something like that. The the very first Nintendo, then a PS1, PS2, Xbox and finally (so far) the 360

[Baxie]

This was the first machine I ever played on.

 

This was the first console in my home.

 

Then I got this and this.

 

Then came a Vic 20, which was replaced by this.

 

That was subsequently replaced by a C64, which was replaced by an Amiga 500.

 

As supplement I got a Gameboy along with the A500, and eventually I moved on the PC-world, but started out with a MacIntosh LCII.

 

After recovering from this aneurism, I bought a real PC, and I have kept updating these since I got the first one back in '94.

 

I bought a PS1 in 1997 (I still own this for the sole purpose of playing FFVII on it.) and upgraded this in 2001 for the PS2. As supplement I bought a PSP in 2005 and regretted it almost instantly, since I had a car and had nothing to use the PSP for.

 

November last year I got myself an Xbox 360.

[MaDaSp7]

I can't remember the make of the the first console I had but it was one of those Pong type (rectangular bat, square ball) machines that didn't take any cartridges but had 10 built-in games. It was colour though, blue and yellow graphics on a black background. :rofl:

 

My first computer was a ZX Spectrum 48k and first game was Atic Atac, the first racing game I had was Chequered Flag, sadly I no longer have the Spectrum, I do however occasionally dig out the emulator and reminisce.

 

Other computers & consoles I've had over the years are:

 

Amstrad CPC6128

Commodore Amiga 500

Sega Master System

Nintendo SNES

Commodore Amiga 4000

Panasonic 3DO

Sega Saturn

Sony PlayStation

Nintendo Gameboy

Apple PowerBook 540C

Sony PlayStation 2

Nintendo Gameboy Advance

Sony PSP

Microsoft Xbox 360

 

And various PCs after finally giving up with the Amiga 4000.

 

Oh the memories! :happyroll:

[Shill360]

First computer I ever owned was a Dragon 32

 

 

One of the first games I ever played was Screaming Abdabs. Happy Days!!!

[Eudemon]

Wow it does uhh... look like a monster in that dreary beige but that rainbow coloured lettering really screams menace !

[SupermAnthony]

I had a C64. I was then given an Amiga 500 which blew my socks off. Walker was amaaaaaaaaaazing! Although using a joystick AND a mouse at the same time was a pain in the bum.

[EiGHT 84LL]

i started off with an Atari 2600 back in the day.. (im showing my age)

 

then in 1984 got my C64 .... and have been gaming ever since.

i recently bought another C64 for £40 off ebay just for the nostalgia

[XtcRacer]

I wasn't really a gamer back In the day.. Mostly It was traveling with parents In the navy (at the time we owned an '86 monte carlo and a '76 mustang GT)

 

Anyways.. The fist console I owned was a PS1 and It broke down when a rubber band got Into the disk tray.

 

Second one I owned from 1999 was a PS2, which I still have, It's modded w/ a chip, swap magic, flip top, etc. (still use It as my everyday game station)

 

Last year (2006) I started getting Into PC games for the modding, so now I use the PC about 3 times a week.

 

And finnally, I plan on buying a PS3 or Xbox 360. :-)

[SRi 150]

Comadore 64

 

Lol, i am not the only one that had a commodore 64 then, could not sit and wait for a tape deck to load a game now.
