DescentBB

What was your fist gaming console (NOT PC) you've ever got? I'm not talking about handhelds (e.g. Gameboy), I'm talking about big ones (e.g. NES, PS1)

The first console I've ever got was the Nintendo 64 along with Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

atari 2600
I even had the E.T. game that killed brain cells.

Atari 5200. The ONLY console I have ever owned. Ahhh, Star Raiders!

I used to play on a friends old atari until I finally got an NES with mario brothers

I've never had one.

Commodore 64. Everything else was a pale keyboardless comparison.

Almost. I got a ps2 a couple years ago. Before then I have an old school gameboy and the sega equivalent. (I don't even remember what it was called)

Never had a console yet. That might change soon though; there are a bunch of console games I would like to play one day.

Magnavox Gaming Console Circa:1972

EDIT: come to think of it. it's still sitting in my old bedroom closet in my parents house, I'm guessing it still works. might be worth something

I also had one of these. Probably still in the closet also.

Actually bro, 1978. (that model) Although Magnavox DID have one in 72.

Check Here., I rmemeber seeing most of those advertised when I was a kid.

A freind of mine has one of THESE. a Vectrex. pretty nifty game console.

and I learned to program in machine language on one of THESE.

I've only ever used/bought an Xbox 360.

[Edit: Mine came with 0 games, but had a programming guide, so any games I played on it had to be something I created myself. I credit that machine as the beginning of my career in programming.]

Back in the 70,s I had Pong and some Tank type game. I'm sure it was on the 2600.

Your probably right about the year. its been a LOOOOOOONG time since I was in school. Wiki said 1972, I graduated in 78. I just remember having it before then.

probably the Alzheimers

I first got my Nintendo 64 in 2000 as an attendance prize, along with 2 controllers and Mario Tennis.

Heh, the first console I ever owned was a PS one, but I had gotten that prolly in 2002, and then my friend gave me his PS2 when it started acting up, I fixed it and although I have used it, now I hardly use it, but I can play my copy of Descent on it

I got in rather late in the game. PS2 Slim, then PS3. Many a good time...

I'll eventually be getting a PS3 to play the 3 newest Ratchet & Clank games for it, but that has to wait; I haven't the funds yet.

Rock, Paper, Scissors was the first console game followed by Pong.

I could've sworn I had a great comeback for that, but for some reason I can't seem to remember now what it was.

Do I know you??

sure .. laugh now...

cuz later you won't know why you were

That 72 console was a real beast of a machine judging from the image.

some strange thing that was called \"universum multispiel 2006\", i think from the year 1977.



it had pong and a few other games and was connected to the black&white tv of my parents.

after that i went over to a atari 2600, then commodore 64, then a lot of pc´s.

since one year or so i also have a ps3 wich really has a lot of fun to offer.

commodore 64 and atari 2600 somewhere around there

Technically, TRS80 was my first gamebox. Then Pong, then Atari 2600 satiated my gaming appetite until NES. That's the last one I got. Now I have Sega, NES and SNES on emulation.

Technically, the first console we had was an Atari 2600. It was one of the early ones with the faux-woodgrain panelling given to us by my aunt and uncles family. However, we didn't have it all that long and I didn't get to play it all that much because we sold it in order to buy a Sega Master System bundle.

From there it was a Mega Drive (Genesis to you folks in the states), PS1, PS2, Nintendo 64 (they were all but giving them away in anticipation right before the GameCube launch so I though I'd snag one), Wii and PS3. There were others but I can't remember where they fit into the overall timeline (we had a Vectrex for a while) or don't count given the limited scope outlined in the original post

NES here.

Ok after researchign pics this is what I had.

Why does that count as a gaming console?

My first was the Nintendo Gamecube. Before that I was into PC gaming.
