What was your first handheld console you owned

[Eclipse14]

Pretty sure it was a Cyan Game Boy Color, for me.

Game Gear.

We had three games for it: Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusion, Columns, and... I forgot what the third one was.

The first handheld console I owned was the Nintendo Game Boy Pocket.

 

[ZEGA ZONIC]

I had a Game Boy Advance & 2 GBA SPs when I was younger.

I used to have the NES Edition GBA SP but it got stolen.
I kinda sorta stole it from someone else to begin with; easy come, easy go.

To be fair, the kid left it at his desk. I would have given it back if I wasn't sure his rich parents wouldn't just buy him another one.

This remains one of my guiltiest secrets. Enjoy.

Do you remember anything about it? Could you describe it?

Not even the slightest trace of what it could have been. I can say this though;

My Mom loved puzzle games and Zelda.
My Dad loved shooting games and action.

They also would occasionally pick up something for 'the kids'. Not sure if this narrows it down any, but the Game Gear library isn't that expansive. Maybe I'll remember, and if I do I'll come edit the post. ^_^

But my first "real" console was a psp 1000.

Gee, I remember this... kids took to school but teachers would always confiscate them.

 

[Zemus]

that's cool. i've never seen the game and watch version of donkey kong before.

One of the best. Helped inspire the DS too!

Before I forget: a friend's GBC for a year, then a GBA SP!

So cool that you had a Nomad! having had a Game Gear, having a Nomad would have been the dream for kid me.

 

[Zerpina]

@χKai Yeah at the time, a Portable Sega Gen, Hell yeah!
@RageBurner You think the Game Gear sucked down the battery's? Try basically a Full Sega Gen! XD

i think it lasted with new good bat's about hour and a half Two if you where real lucky

I bet! I mean, the GG was a handheld SMS, so same deal right? it's like the PSP/Vita school of portables 2 generations before those, haha. Sega was ballsy back then.

That's more or less a Spot on Comparison of the Two. Basically, if you had a Nomad, or GG for that matter. You bought the Battery packs. and never used the bat's while at home XD

I had the power brick, so my GG was the least portable portable ever, but I loved not having to worry about batteries. A life saver on family trips.

 

[Blackmaiden]

Mine was the Atari Lynx amazing for its time (still have it now).

 

[Blamhammer]

Original GameBoy with Tetris! Everyone looked down on video games in my family as a childs toy, but Tetris? Man everyone played that. No complaints or premature dismissal of that game.

 

[elehayyme]

I want to say this but it's not a console but I loved this thing back in the day.

Otherwise? The original Game Boy.
