My first system was a GBA SP, which was handed down from my brother to me. I was born around the same time as you, I was also one when the Game Cube came out, but since my parents didn't get a Wii until 2008, we had and played on a Game Cube for years. It feels like part of my generation when it isn't.
First system I ever played on was NES.. I couldn't even really read very well at the time lol. But luckily the games I played weren't very.. word-y.
The first system I ever "owned", however, was the GBA - before GBA SP's were even made, so I had to sit under a lamp to even be able to see what I was playing. xD So glad handhelds are all backlit now..
I recall the earliest gaming system I played was a NES. I remember my dad had hooked it up and let me play SMB3. I was about 2 or 3. Also around the same time there was a SNES and Kirby Super Star.
I don't know what happened to either of those consoles or if we even owned them. I recall my mom saying something about my aunt letting us borrow them.
The first console I for sure remember getting is the N64. I was about 4 I think? It came with Mario Party 2 and I played that all Christmas morning.
My first video game console was my favorite console of all time, the Nintendo GameCube. I still own it after recieving it back in 2006-2007. My first handheld was an original Game Boy I found in a thrift store. I found it with a screen that seems to not pixelate on it's far right side, but it still was in great shape otherwise. I was still excited to convince my mom to buy it for me for only $1.99, which is the best luck I've ever had retro game console wise. (I found a working NES for the same price, but the extension port cover was ripped off and only had 1 working controller out of 2 I found there.)
Gameboy Color>>Or even further back Sega Genesis (technically my bro's but I played it often ) I miss some of my old handhelds, do still have the Genesis though<3
Note- I also had a used N64, Harvest Mooned the h*** out of it xD Best HM in the series<3
I'm happy to have started out with a N64. World Cup 2002 was the first game I mastered. (I was so good, I would beat the hardest computers 10-0). Came back to it recently and it left me wondering how I was ever actually that good, lol.
My first gaming system was the NES (I think we got Mario Bros first in terms of games; either that or Duck Hunt).
My first portable was the Gameboy Pocket (and Pokemon Blue for the game).
) I miss some of my old handhelds, do still have the Genesis though<3
