Love all the magnavox odyssey, that was my first one as well

Atari 400

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!

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.!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

"B-17 booomber!!!!... We've got flak."

The first one my family had was a Magnavox Odyssey˛. 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.

The NES.

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

Atari 2600

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Atari 2600, then the NES.
