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 ::heart I also had a purple GBA which I LOVED but I gave it away as a child!!

Some bootleg console, with a bunch of NES games and low-effort Romhacks.

Played a bunch of Mario, Popeye, Donkey Kong Jr, Battle City, and Nintendo World Cup.

Loved it.
 
My first console was the PS1 and the first game that I remember playing a ton of was Spyro the Dragon. I also had Tekken 2, Destruction Derby 2, NASCAR '99, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!, Tomba!, A Bug's Life, Breath of Fire III (in which I never got past the opening sequence), Frogger, Centipede, Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, CyberSpeed, Crime Killer, Driver (in which I only played free roam), Rally Cross 2, Rugrats: The Search for Reptar, and Ridge Racer Revolution.

I wish I had managed to hold on to all of those games.

I also wore out Twisted Metal 4 at a friend's house later in the PS1's cycle, after the PS2 had been released. We would play it in his room when we couldn't play Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance on his step-dad's PS2 in the living room.
 
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?
My first gaming console was the Atari 2600. It wasn’t just a device; it was a portal to new worlds. With its blocky graphics and simple joystick, games like Space Invaders and Pac-Man felt revolutionary. The swappable cartridges were mind-blowing—no other system offered that freedom. It turned living rooms into arcades, sparking a gaming culture that’s still thriving. Unlike today’s sleek consoles, the Atari 2600’s raw, clunky charm laid the foundation for every gaming innovation that followed. Pure nostalgia!
 
One of my first video game consoles was the Nintendo 64. Being the youngest in my family, I used to spend a lot of time playing games such as the Mario Party trilogy together with my brothers and sister.

Around 2000, after Pokémon Stadium 1 came out, we also had a Sega Genesis that came in a brown grocery sack. I believe it was a Model 2 Genesis, but my brother remembers it as a Model 1 console.
 
The first console I owned was a PS2 since my brother gave his to our cousin, but we still had all the games for it. I remember looking on eBay and Craigslist with my father till we found one for 20 dollars that I saved up.
At the time, I thought 20 dollars was a lot. Looking back, I'm shocked I found someone selling one for that cheap.
My father drove me to pick up the PS2. It turned out it was another kid selling their PS2. It came with two controllers, a baggie of memory cards for it, including what I didn't realize till later was a Game Shark, and some random games like Frogger for the PS1, all put in a book bag.
A great deal, even at the time. I love my fat PS2.
 
NES! Got Super Mario Bros. 3 and Zelda 1. Lived near a game rental place. First games I rented were NARC and Defenders of Dynatron City. Very, very early understanding that some games are better than others.
 
Purple gameboy colour!
It came with pokemon silver.
Usually all the gaming stuff was my brothers and I used to sit and watch him. But since pokemon needed both carts to get all 'mons, my parents thought that instead of getting my brother both carts, he would have a lime green gameboy colour and pokemon gold while I played along side him. Many hijinks ensured, especially since he was big on 'cloning pokemon' back then. (Turning off the gameboys during a trade let you have your traded pokemon safe with you again and a copy of the pokemon being traded to you.) I beat the elite four with four typhlosions, one was my sad untraded starter that looked weak against the hyper evolving strong traded ones.
