I was born during a time when a gaming generation was ending--1993. The first consoles I played were the SNES, Genesis and NES, as my family already owned both and took the time to make me understand what video games were and how to play them. The first console I ever owned was a Nintendo 64 that I received Christmas 1997, followed by a PS1 on my birthday in April 1998. Sony IPs captivated me the most, and I've always valued their consoles over others enough to purchase theirs first, although I still enjoy Nintendo games.
Had a hand-me-down GB Pocket around then, but didn't really enjoy handheld gaming until the GBA came out.
My first gaming system was the Sega Mega Drive, or what Americans call it, the Sega Genesis. My frist games on that system were Sonic 1 and Sonic 2. Great games, good times.

There must be a lot of younger players on here as most posts I see say something about GameCube, N64, PS1 or PS2 haha. I'm glad I was able to grow up with old gaming consoles. Those had the best games in my opinion.
