What was your first ever gaming system/video game?

[jumpluff]

The first I played was my brother's copy of Pokémon Yellow, on his GameBoy Color. I think we were 6 (me) and 5 (him). I also played his copy of Gold Version. I was so hooked that I asked for my own GameBoy Color and Crystal Version.

We continued to share non-handheld consoles until our teens (when, realistically, I just lost access to his Xbox/the PS2, etc. and we got our own PCs). Those are memories for which I'll always be grateful, and that I think make us much closer as siblings for having (even though it also inspired lots of kid fighting). It's wild to me in retrospect how many RPGs we managed to share playthroughs and save files in, but we seriously helped each other past so many tough bosses and puzzles. We even had a shared village in the GCN Animal Crossing, and we'd sit in his room for hours playing it.

The GameBoy was a really wonderful little system, and I think the love I had of it, plus the fact that my brother had the consoles (by possession, which is 9/10ths the law!), is what cemented me as a handheld/PC gamer. I missed out on a lot of console franchises growing up just because the consoles were in his room and we weren't getting along. But I always had my GBC, GBA, DS, 3DS, etc. and my own PC.

First video game I played I guess was Tetris, or some knock off version on a Gameboy system. Not sure if it was an actual Gameboy or a knock-off since I was only about 3 or 4. The first console and game I actually owned was a Playstation 2 and Lego Racers 2, although technically Toy Story Racers and Disney's Dinosaur share that place, but LR2 was the first I actually played.

i never really owned a console until i was 10 (3ds), and wiis don't really count, but before then, i guess it was an n64??

my older sister's orthodontist had an arcade style n64 in the waiting room, so me and my younger sister would always play diddy kong racing while she was getting her braces tightened. we just button mashed, but it was fun :-:

NES. My mom bought it when I was a baby. She would only ever let me play when I was in her lap and she could help me out. Then the SNES came out and she let me play one level in SMW3 and it was the one where you get a 1up and 4 power blocks. 2 feathers and two flowers. I was basically her afk farm.
