They had one together. They've been married for 17 years.

I like many others had the NES as my first system. My grandparents gave it to my brother and I when I was like 4 or 5 I want to say. Got it along with Super Mario Bros. 3 and Dr. Mario. I may have gotten the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game with it at the same time as well but I don't remember for sure.

Fun to type on, wasn't it?

Does this count?


If not, then Atari 2600.

I played 2600 and Intellivision at a friend's house but never had one of my own. So this was my first system:



I tried to make up for it by getting a Wii, 360, and PS3, but now I mostly game on my phone.

Atari 2600.

We had one of those Telstar pong systems (hours of fun!) before the Atari 2600.

Whatever Pong was on. Can't remember. Coleco?

Edit: oh.. Telstar. Must've been Telstar.

I think it was the show Whiz Kids with Matthew Labyorteaux, he used someone else's computer and mentioned the difficulty of trying to type on a membrane keypad.

Colecovision - and I recently re-aquired one. Now with RCA outs, extended controllers and a pause switch.

TRS-80 Color Computer.

It was pretty low on specs, but it had what I consider to be one of the best video games ever made...

First was a 4 player Pong/Breakout system which was sold to purchase:

Atari 2600

Then:
Atari 800 (*why* hasn't someone "ported" M.U.L.E. for "modern" systems? It would work well on the Wii.)
Atari XE-GS (for my son - but I inherited it)
Atari 130XE
NES ('cause that's what he asked for but I bought him the computer instead)
386 processor based computer
Super Nintendo
PIII-450 processor based computer (a custom built [by me, of course] gaming system which was a "screamer" in its day)
other assorted computers
Wii (because we played Guitar Hero at a cousins' house and my wife insisted on one. I must admit, it's actually been a fun little system.)

Wow, that's dedication. Neither wanted to give up the NES, eh?

There are unofficial remakes of the game on PC:

I don't recall using the keyboard all that often but pressing those keys took some work.

First system i owned is also the greatest system ever made The Dreamcast! First game i got was Sonic Adventure

This.......

Have you read Ready Player One?

Intellivision for me, followed shortly by a Colecovision.
