Famiclone with a 5.000.000 in 1 cartridge. I was amazed and instantly began to play Super Mario Bros. I was 6 and life was so good. And that marked the beginning of my gaming history.

Does Commodore 64 count ??
If not, it would have been the NES and would have been Mario... waaaaay too long ago to remember the reaction lol

The original Xbox, was living with my grandparents at the time. Saw it at a Second hand shop for 100 bucks, my grandpa bought it for me along with cod 2 big red one,dinotopia the Sunstone odyssey and medal of honor rising sun. Me and my sister used to fight over who would get to use it even though she had a ps2 at the time. Alot of good memories with that thing.

Wow think that’s before I was born. I actually thought I’d be one of the oldest saying n64 but there’s a lot of Famicomm’s, Atari and Comodore 64’s here.

Does a Nintendo D's count? If yes, I was pretty small, can't remember but I'm pretty sure I was ecstatic. If no, then the Ps4 was my first console, and I blew up with excitement!

Sega Master System. The big one with the light gun. I had Sonic, that's all I remember. And played the duck hunt game which was preinstalled. I loved it. ❤️

My first console was a Wii and 360 at the exact same time. I bought Wii for the family and 360 for Black Ops. The reason I got the 7th gen of consoles because I was mainly a PC gamer

the question was not complicated brother, everyone said what THEIR first console was and who got it for them. u answered correctly in ur second paragraph (excluding the intro). first paragraph is about someone else’s console and the others are just other consoles u bought over time (so not ur first console, logically..) so yea. simple question.

My dad somehow built a Sinclair Z80 clone out of - I guess - smuggled or knock off soviet components. It had no case, just a board with wires. Loaded games off tape cassettes via a tape player and a stereo jack. A good game took 6-8 minutes of fax machine sounds to load. And now I work in the game industry as a result.

Got a 360S on Christmas in 2016. My dad bought it because he thought kinect would be good for the family. Sadly it red ringed because I never understood the concept of ventilation, but I had a lot of fun playing forza motorsport 3 and horizon 2. Recently upgraded to a one s on my birthday. I miss my 360.
