What was your first game console that you played on? What Games did you play on it?
Share any other stories about the consoles. (Also Game Boys do count)

So My first game I played was Star Fox on SNES.
Yes I remember the competely annoying "Do a Barrel Roll, where in most cases if i did so, I would crash and kill myself.
The SNES was my first video game console that i lost on my move from australia to the United States. Apparently it was lost in 'transit'.

What are your stories Dakka Dakka?

My first game was some sports game on Atari.

Atari 2600. And I couldnt really tell you what the first one was for sure. Either the tanks battle one, or Donkey Kong.

Infact I still have that very console sitting in my garage waiting for me to replace a chip set inside it to get it pumping out oldies again

The first one I played was some sort of atari rip off that my dad brought home. It had tennis.

The first console I had of my own was a nes.
Super Mario Brothers was my first game, but I also enjoyed the turtles arcade game, Bad dudes vs Dragonninja (even though it sucked) Battletoads vs double dragon, Blue Shadow, Ninja Gaiden, I also loved the Batman game.

They don't make side scrolling beat em up's so much anymore.

Atari 2600 -- I think it was the '82 version. But I don't think we had any games in color so it might have been something earlier (or we just had gakky games). The first console I spent a lot of time with was the NES. We only had two games for the NES -- Mario/Duckhunt and Godzilla but I played LoZ, Castlevania, and Super Mario 2 at my cousins' house.

Lego Racers 2 on Game Boy Advance. I got Flintstones: Big Trouble in Bedrock at the same time, but Lego Racers 2 is my spiritual first game.

I played on a Commodore 64 (Winter Games, Summer Games, Bruce Lee!) but the first bona fide console was an atari as well; Pitfall, frogger, River Raid.
NES though, between the Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy probably had the most time spent - though BattleToads and TMNT also took way more time than anyone should have spent.

Inside your mind, corrupting the pathways

The mighty C64, probably playing Boulder Dash (I don't actually remember what game I played on it first but I remember playing Boulder Dash on it more than most of the other games).

The Original X-Box and the first game I ever played on it was Forsa Motor Sports (I still have that console sitting next to me)
Or if you count PC, my first game was when I was around 3-4 and playing Age of Empires I got off of a Cornflakes box (it had the full game on it).

The earliest I can remember is playing this bad boy right here:



I think I played a K-Mart Pong console before that but not certain if it was before or after.

For me as well; this was the first game I remember playing at home. It wasn't my home though - our first console was an NES. The first game I remember getting into in a big way was either Dragon Warrior or The Legend of Zelda - I played them at approximately the same time.

Also, about a billion hours of RC Pro AM.

I also played a ton of Winter Games and Barbarian on the Commodore 64; if those count. We cetainly didn't use the Commodore for anything else I remember. This was prior to us getting the NES - probably right in the middle - Combat, then the C64, then the NES.
