Re: First Console?
First system, a handheld, was Sega GameGear when I was about 4 with Sonic, MLB, and some fighter jets game - nothing that memorable for me. First console was a SNES, and that was where my love of games really started - followed by the GB Color where I bought Pokemon.
Re: First Console?
I had a game gear, it was freaking huge! Took like 6 AAs and sucked the life outta those suckers like there's no tomorrow :P
But I had sonic on it and it was Bad ASS

MK for NES or snes? I remember hearing rumors of illegal mk nes bootlegsxiphirx wrote:NES
Duck Hunt and Contra were my favorites. I had Mario bros and Mortal Kombat too :3
first for me was atari 2600 which was awesome. We had a game hide and seek which was probably the best 2 player game ever made. close ur eyes while ur partner hides in a house then u go find them. not sure why we didnt just turn around and play for real..
from that point it was
nes
snes
genesis (sega channel looney toons bowling - amazing)
32x
N64
jaguar (white men cant jump was awesome)
saturn
psx
xbox
ps2 (for mk armageddon only, was ranked #4 online on ps2 for a couple months noob and shujinko ftw)
360
wii
sadly never a dreamcast. always wanted one but never happened. i had 3 brothers so lots of consoles. had a few handhelds but never liked them much.

GBA if you count handhelds, GameCube if you don't. I know, I'm way too young.
Quit procrastinating and make something awesome.

I didn't even know how much it sucked until I finally escaped the realm of Nintendo systems now that I know, I can't believe I enjoyed the GC that muchGyroVorbis wrote:That's fucking ridiculous.

Re: First Console?
When I was very little (and before I was born) my older siblings always wanted a game console, but my parents never complied until I was about 8, and we got a Gamecube for Christmas.
EDIT: And unlike SOME of the people above, I loved and still love the Gamecube. It's actually pretty awesome.
