First game on it ?

Came with a few, but the first game I played it on it was either Sonic 2 or World of Illusion. Followed shortly by Altered Beast, Captain America & The Avengers, Justice League and Golden Axe

Technically I started gaming on a Windows 98 PC playing shareware games. But my first console that I owned was a GameCube that I saved money for an entire year to buy. My first game (and the reason I bought the console) was Super Mario Sunshine.

About a year later I bought a Nintendo DS lite (blue and black) and Spider-man Web of Shadows. Stun-locking enemies with combos was awesome in that game.

For me, it was a black Nintendo DS that was bought secondhand. It had a matching Nerf case (my parents didn’t trust me not to destroy it) and came with used copies of Transformers: War For Cybertron - Decepticon and Bakugan: Battle Brawlers.

 

[Neopolitan]

My step-dad's Amiga 500. I still fondly remember playing games like Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder, Black Crypt, Captive, Elite 1 & 2, Flashback, Body Blows, Chaos Engine, Hired Guns, Monkey Island, F19, Dark Seed, Fate of Atlantis, and a bunch more. Most of them pirated, but I wasn't complaining.

Tronica Space Adventure and Donkey Kong II Game and Watch when I was 4 or so (41 now)
although these aren't the same units from when I was a kid, I still love and play them. Tho both are getting on in their years and will probably need repairs soon for one thing or another so I hope a guy I know will be able to service them for me.

My first console was a ps1 which wasn't technically mine it was my brother's. At that time we also had a computer with win95 if I remember well, but we had no games except for maybe minesweeper I guess.

This thing blew my mind even though I had already had it blown by playing arcade games. And then I eventually had to blow the cartridges.

 

[Johnathan Smikey]

First overall console I played was a PS3 (I think).

My first personal console was the shitty AtGames SEGA Genesis Mini. I had fun with it, though.

 

[catcrew]

My first console was a blue Nintendo DSi with Lego Batman and Sonic Classic Collection. I still have it today!

 

[zacharinolongpants]

My first console was a Super Nintendo and I remember Castlevania IV and Super Mario World melting my brain.

 

[MadzombieBane]

my first console was a sega dreamcast, i got from my great uncle at the age of 10 i had 3 games i played regularly, soul caliber, crazy taxi, and shenmue without sega i wouldn’t be the gamer i am now lol

 

[Jambhala]

My first was one of the original GBAs, the long one with no backlight. I played the hell out of that. Before that I mostly used an old PC but I don't think that counts.

 

[t3mpt0n]

My first console was a Wii from my aunt.

Just journaling and am curious what devices users owned first. I believe I played some version of Pac-Man: World on a couple different floppy disks (thanks Dad) but one holiday I got a SNES and Donkey Kong Country 2. I think my next game was Super Empire Strikes Back. Needless to say, I didn't beat either of those games until much later.

How about you all?

[Grumpy_Old_Man]

A famiclone, can't remember it's name. Gotten it around 89 or 90, those with multiple "games" ingrained in the motherboard(most of those were clones of another, like various bootlegs of Mario 1).

 

[Jediuser]

For me, Sega Game Gear

But as for an actual console, PS2.

 

[nintara]

technically a ps1 but i was too little to remember or appreciate it much. the first one i got after that was a psp with ratchet and clank: size matters when i was like 9 or 8 (i desperately wanted a ratchet and clank game at the time)

 

[Retro Doomer]

For me it is the Ps2 who was my first Console,but i played also Ps1 Games on it like the Original Doom.

I got a gameboy Advance SP for maybe my 5th Birthday? I changed the case to a cheap gold one some years ago but kept the grey buttons, Kinda wish I kept the pink. I had Tetris worlds which Is the first game I ever played and a weird bratz game. For sure started my love of handheld gaming I also had a purple GBA which I LOVED but I gave it away as a child!!

NES with Super Mario and Duck Hunt with the gun

I first gamed on the Famicom.

SMB was the first game I was ever addicted to but, strangely, it was the vastly inferior Frontline I had the most precious memories of.
