What was your first video game console?

My brother and I shared a Nintendo 64, but my very first own console was a neongreen GameBoy Color. <3
 
Mine was the DS lite in 2010. I was a pretty late adopter, but I had so many good times with that thing. The first home console I got was the GameCube in October 2017 after one of my friends gave it away when he learned I had no home consoles.
 
My very first console was the Nintendo Gamecube. I got it for Christmas in 2002.
 
Probably the Sega Genesis and Playstation 1. The Genesis, my parents love, and the PS is about as old as I am.

For personal systems, it was a Game Boy Advanced. I loved that thing (sadly, my brother got it stolen from him by toddlers when we were young after I got the DS Lite--it will always be missed, as will my copy of KH Chain of Memories)
 
It was the NES. I played it when I was very young (somewhere in the early 2000?s) and I only had Mario Bros 3, and Punch Out at the time. Somewhere at that same time, I got the Gameboy advanced SP and had a good number of games ranging from the original gameboy cartridges to the advanced ones. My library of NES games only went up by two when I got two Zelda games a decade later.
 
NES. I'm not that old (since it was out a whole decade before I was even born) but my dad had bought me one when I was a toddler and waited for me and my brother to grow up a little till we could figure out how to play it. I was about 4 or 5 when he finally let me have it. First game we ever owned on it was Super Mario Bros. We never finished it and to this day, I still can't, but we had a lot of fun playing it.
I had eventually collected 64 game cartridges for it and it's still my favorite system just for nostalgic reasons.
I didn't own any particularly popular ones, besides super Mario bros., super Mario Bros. 3, duck hunt (w/ gun) and Dr. Mario. My favorite games were The Goonies (platform, sidescroller based off the movie), Dragon Power (essentially Dragon ball but I think it was whitewashed for American gaming), and Track & Field (multiplayer Olympic game). My favorite memories are with me and my siblings playing on the NES, but I don't have it anymore though. Maybe in the future, I'll get another one.

I was given a Sega Genesis when I was like 6 or 7. It was a couple of years old at that point, but new enough that they were still releasing games for it. I spent hours on that thing.
 
NES
My dad was big on gaming around that time at least on a technical scale, and in some way still is. Getting the NES all the way to the Wii with Nintendo, and getting all the PlayStation consoles. The first console I experienced was the SNES, but I didn't see it anymore than just flashing lights as I was too young. It wasn't until late into the N64 that I understood it better.

NES for me and I remember when the N64 came out my friends and I were mind blown we thought this is the pinnacle of graphics hahaha. We thought the same thing with the Gamecube ps2 era and then we realized it's really just gonna keep improving.
 
Super Mario Sunshine baby!!

Well, that's the first one I can remember I think.
