What was your first handheld console you owned

[rematche]

Is Gamewatch from Nintendo back in 1981 recognised as handheld console?

yes.

 

[Vicozzy]

yes.

Thank you for the confirmation, then game & watch parachute (1981) was my first handheld console.

Technically a couple of tiger handhelds:

One where you were a space station and you had to shoot ships coming right at you like they had patrick duffy for a leg. The other was a racing game. Both of them were OK.

Then my brother got a gamegear and eventually a GBC.

My first actual handheld console i actually owned was a DS lite.

Purple 3ds, I still have it kicking around somewhere. The sd card reader is temperamental nowadays.

Like mentioned in another thread, the Game & Watch game Manhole, guessing around 1981, my best score was 119, I still remember like it was yesterday, went to see football (soccer) with mom, my dad was playing, and we were sitting on the stands, I was breaking my high score and all of a sudden, game was over, mom told me that we have to leave but I replied that I can't at that moment, had to finish my game ? This is one of my oldest memories I have, like I mentioned, I still know that my score was 119.

Sega Genesis Nomad. My mom was deciding between this and a gameboy for my birthday. She noticed the game boy had worse graphics, no color, and no backlight. I think she made the right choice.

This was my first. Eventually followed by OG Gameboy DMG-01.

A Game Gear, and my dad buying me a strip of very cheap 30+ batteries from a dollar store, where I had to Active Reload each set of 6 every 30 minutes because they would barely last a world or two in Sonic the Hedgehog.

 

[Antihero]

It was psp for me

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

Mine too.
I'd say Game Boy.

Gameboy. First game I ever played and beat on it was Pokemon Blue.

 

[Somnia]

A Gameboy Color with a copy of either Pokemon Blue or Yellow (can't remember which I got first). My second game would be The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages!

 

[Dyne]

A red Gameboy.
The old style Gameboy, not Gameboy Color.

Older junk was always kicking around. The first one that mattered was the Gameboy from when it launched. I still have it nearby with Tetris in it's plastic shell. I don't know if it's fried or not. The screen needs to be replaced. I never opened it up yet to look at the state of it.
