Your First Gaming System?!
- Thread starter Swiftstream
- Start date
I got a Genesis for my birthday, then my mom smashed it.
Then sometime later she got an N64 for the whole family. I don't remember what happened to it, though I do remember Smash Bros. just mysteriously vanished without a trace.
Then sometime even later I got my own Gamecube for my birthday and that started me to just getting my own systems again.
currently own: NES, modded SNES (can play games from all regions), N64, Wii, Wii U, Virtual Boy, Game Boy SP x2, DS Lite, 3DS, Genesis (had mom buy it again for my most recent birthday), Dreamcast, PS2, PS3, PSP, PSVita
I have way too many systems, clearly.

Mine was a gameboy color.

The first games I remember playing were on the computer, not on a system.
I loved getting on the checkers game that came with Windows 98 that you could play with other people.
I remember that there was a set list of phrases you could send to your opponent, like "It's your turn!" or "That was a bad move!".
I started playing games on systems when I was around 6 years old.
My first memories of that are of playing Spyro 2 on my brother's Playstation. I really enjoyed that.

The first system I had was given to me by my sisters a very small version of the NES console called NES 101 which I loved to death, I played Super Mario Bros 3 and Kirby's Dreamland on it always first games I ever beaten all the way! I woefully regret trading it + all my games for a 50 dollar N64 because the NES games and console is worth a lot more now ; w ;

My first console was a red Gameboy Advance SP. I have no idea what my first game was. I think it might have been Super Mario Brothers 2, because I remember playing that for ages. I also had a Lizzie McGuire and a Shrek game, though. They might have all appeared at the same time... It was a good childhood in that respect!!!
My sis let me play her N64 when I was young; I remember never getting a single star on Mario 64, haha. My first handheld was a purple GBA, and the only game I played was Silver and I was so proud of myself when I beat it you don't understand.
As for my first home console, it's gotta be my PS2. The original huge one, I think. I've played it for years, and it still works, but the wires are a little messed up, sometimes making the pictures black and white, or not realizing its connecting. I could never get rid of it, though. One of my most favored possessions.

Then actually started gaming with the N64, best system ever!
