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.

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.

 

[UrielSol]

As far as TV goes one of my fond memories was when my dad and I were flipping through channels and we accidentally came across some Spanish or Italian gaming programme (Hotbird and Astra satellite programming for the win). It was around 1999-2000 and they were running a segment on Age of Empires II. We intuited that they were going to give out cheat codes and we furiously scrambled for a piece of paper and something to write with. We got all the resource cheats and a few others. It was a glorious time.

The Lynx exists in an interesting interstitial generational space, like the NGPC and WSC, one foot in one generstion, one in the next.

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

I got something like that too.
But my first real handheld console was Game boy Advance.

 

[YuriSukiSan]

Gameboy colour for me! I had the yellow one with pokemon blue!

 

[Adrastia]

OG Game Boy. Me and my brother both got one. I remember it fell down the stairs and was totally fine. That brick was made to last.

 

[BROTHERJGRJI]

Dad bought a bootleg NES for me when I was 1 year old. You could say, I'm a gamer from birth For real though, I think he bought it for himself along with PS1 later but it drastically influenced my life

 

[MRX1992]

Sega Genesis (I believe either 96 or 97) and then a PSX (1998), I was 6 at the time

 

[Cyberfriend]

Gameboy color

 

[faceless0man]

None they never sold em here ?

The first gaming system I owned was a Sega Genesis.

 

[Tonberry]

The coral pink translucent GBA I got for my 6th birthday together with Link's Awakening DX.
We were pretty poor when I grew up so I've been told that the first thing I said when I opened the gift was "How did you afford this?!"
I didn't mind that the Zelda game was a GBC game, I played the crap out of it and it's still my favorite Zelda. That christmas my aunt gave me Wario Land 4 which was my first actual GBA game and I love that game to death too.

The system hasn't been played in ages since the d-pad stopped working, but it still has a cherised spot on my shelf.

 

[ThatsNotRich]

My uncle gifted me his GameBoy Light silver when he picked up the Gameboy color in America. I could stay up at night and level up, but I dont recall having many batteries at our disposal

 

[AnonymousCookieMonster]

Ummm... the DS.... and only for Brain Age...

Hello everyone!
I’d like to share the story of my first portable gaming console, which was bought in 1997 at a store in Kyiv. At the time, it wasn’t that expensive, and somehow I managed to convince my parents to get it, even though I already had a PlayStation 1 at home.

It was the R-Zone by Tiger Electronics – a console that rightfully earned the title of the worst portable console, according to Angry Video Game Nerd. I still can’t understand how I ended up choosing it.

Yes, this console is still in my collection, but… I can’t even begin to explain how bad it is. The screen is a disaster, the game quality is awful, and the actual gameplay experience leaves a lot to be desired. I played it for maybe 2 months, and then it was just abandoned.

Nearly 9 years later, the PSP came along – a true, full-fledged portable console. Life with it was simply amazing! The screen, graphics, games – everything was top-notch??

If anyone else had this gadget, share your thoughts on this engineering “masterpiece”!

A black Game Boy Advance SP with A Link To The Past, Crash Purple and Jimmy Neutron, and as a curious fact, that was the first Crash Bandicoot game I played in my life and I really liked it a lot, I never thought it was a very criticized game until years later, the other games came later. My first experience with Game Boy Color games was when a friend of my brother's lent me Donkey Kong Country.
The list of games would be very long, I would never finish... What good memories...

 

[Potapota]

Used GBA SP around 2009 or something. I remember my mom called it a "toy for kids" and I felt offended lol. I was in a situation at the time that required me to sit on a bus for about 6 hrs total in a week at the time and it was basically a pokemon machine for that time. Never had many other games for it.
