Me too - that was my second system that I got in August of 1982. Hard to believe it had such a short life, but it was fun! That was part of my senior year of high school!

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

I ended up getting the Atari 1200XL in September of 1983, but I wish I could have gotten one of the 400 or 800 models! A friend of mine had the Atari 800 - many hours playing M.U.L.E.!

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

NES for me. Although I've had PC's for as long as I can remember too.

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

My first was NES, wish I still had it.
I still have my Super Nintendo, N64,Gamecube, Sega Genesis w/ CD, PS2 and now PS3, sent the PS1 with the ex.

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

My first gaming computer was the Atari 800xl but later upgraded to a commodore 64.

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

First one I ever had was the NES. First one I bought with my own money was the N64.

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

Atari 2600

it was packed with Pac-man and Tank


good times


i think the next two games that mom and dad bought for me were Berserk and the masterpiece E.T. :lol:

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

Colecovision for me as well. Man, that was an awesome system. A lot of people complained about the controller, but once you got used to it, it was pretty nice.

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

Intellivision. I still have it, the Intellivoice, and about 20 games.

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

Like the rest of the old farts on this board, 2600 for me as well.

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

Sega Master System. I was the one kid on the block who had Sega, and not an NES :(

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

The first one my family had was a Magnavox Odyssey². I also remember going to my grandparents and playing a home console version of Pong that could play multiple versions of Pong. Checking this site, I think it was the Ultra Pong console:

The first video game system that I personally owned was an NES I got as a Christmas present (although of course I had to share the system with my sisters). It came with SMB and Duck Hunt, and I got Dragon Warrior free with my subscription to Nintendo Power.

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

The NES.

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

Atari 2600. And it's the only game system I've ever owned.

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

Atari 2600

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

I feel so young in this thread. My first system was the PSX, but I did game on the PC with games like Lemmings and Myst before I got my PSX.

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

If it makes you feel any better, I went back and bought a Sega Master System many years later and still have it along with the adapter thingy for Sega Genesis (many years later if I can still find it but I had a geocities page for the Sega Master System with mini-reviews). But my first system was a NES with Super Mario Bros (no Duck Hunt at the time) and then for Christmas I got Legend of Zelda. It was all downhill from there ;)

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

NES for me as well. I had friends with Atari 2600, etc. I remember that my Dad was trying to talk me into either a Sega Master System (which I hadn't even heard of at that point, he called it a Seega) or an Atari 7800.

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

The first system I owned was a Super NES. There was a fundraiser at my school when I was in 8th grade, where we could earn prize money for selling magazines. I sold the most in the school, won over $300 and put it into the SNES, F-Zero and Pilotwings. Prior to that, my dad let me play his Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 7800 and NES.

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

Never owned a game system but we grew up with Magnavox Odyssey² as well. My sister and her boyfriend had an NES around '90 and I played friend's Sega, Amiga, and PC games in college.

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

Do you mean they each had an NES, or did they buy one together? Who got it after they split?

Re: What was the first video game system you owned?
 

Atari 2600, then the NES.
