Your First Gaming System?!

As a family, we had a Commodore 64. I'm not sure when we got it, it was released a year before I was born. But my earliest gaming memories are of playing a side-scrolling platform game that I've forgotten the name of. My first console was either a PSOne or a Game Boy Colour. I still have the Game Boy, but the PSOne was given to a cousin when I got a PS2. Still got all the games though.

My brothers have many old consoles and I have played some with them. I remember playing some N64 games with them because they were hyped for the Game Cube they couldn't afford then hahaha. I think it was the first system I played.

I was born in 1997 but the first one I had was either NES of SNES. Afterwards, we got an N64, then a Gamecube, and my Gameboy Advance SP.
 
An Atari, not sure which version. It was my parents and we played it until we got a SEGA Genesis. I was born in 1984.
 
Not counting the PC, which has been always present since I was born in '89(and many years before I was born), my first gaming system was the Sega Genesis. I got it in 1994 for good grades in pre-school. I absolutely adored Sonic 2 and Sonic 3, and the first game I ever beat was Crystal's Pony Tale. My first handheld system was a Gameboy Color, which I got in the fall of 1998 in preparations of Pokemon Blue. I don't think my parents realized how drastically that purchase(of both the Genesis and Gameboy Color) was going to shape my life though. Even though Pokemon technically sealed the deal as that's what made me desire a N64.

The first console I ever played on was my Dad's original Playstation- he got it a few months before I was born but I remember playing on it when I was very little, after my dad then got a PS2 he gave me and my brother the PS1. Though our first PS1 died painfully shortly after we got our dog- he got his leg caught in the cables and pulled the PS1 off the TV stand... After that we got another PS1 and my Dad gave his PS2 to me! (PS1 the 2nd has died now... The PS2 still works like a charm!)

Though my first console that ever belonged to me from the start was my Wii, which I bought on launch day with all my saved up pocket money- and I managed to get the last one in the shop! My first handheld was my silver GBA SP, though that died quickly when my brother broke it and subsequently I got a PINK (Pink was my favourite colour in 2003) GBA SP with a copy of Pokemon Ruby.
 
I started gaming on a SNES, but my very first gaming system was my Gamecube~ I still have it but it no longer works. :< Luckily I can still play all my games on my Wii.
 
Well, my mom had a Gameboy before I got anything, but I can't remember if I got an N64 or Gameboy Advance first. Got them both around the same time...
 
Home console: PS1.
Handheld: Gameboy.

They were considered the current gen at the time. I was born in '92.

I started playing Pokemon on a Black GameBoy in 2003-2004, but that was my brother's. My first own system was my DS Lite, which I got for my birthday in what, 2006? It doesn't work anymore, but I got my 3DS in 2011, about 6-7 months after my DS broke.
 
My first gaming system.... I believe was the sega genisis, a hand me down of course because I was not yet born when it came out.

My first handheld was a gameboy that I bought for $10 at a garage sale, it came with Pokemon Yellow, Frogger, and a Krusty the Clown Simpsons game. I still have it!
