And three titles you liked from it


Atari 2600

Raiders of the Lost Ark
Breakout
Combat
 
Super Nintendo

Mario Kart is the first game I had when I was 3 years old. I still remember it.
Super Mario All-Star
Rock'n Roll Racing
 
My family had a Sega Master System, it had Alex The Kidd built into it and it was the only game we had. It would be quite some years later that I'd get my own console, which was a Play Station 2.
 
I had a Gameboy, but don't remember how or when I got it.

I do remember getting a Sega Genesis for Christmas, bundled with Sonic 2. The other games we got were Aladdin and Spider Man and the X-Men.

My three favorite games for it would probably be Sonic the Hedgehog 3, X-Men 2: Clone Wars and The Lost World.

A knock-off version of an old 8-bit system, wouldn't even know which one it was. After that a PS1 and Tomb Raider 3 I think. Good times.
 
NES.

Metroid, Darkwing Duck, Ninja Gaiden III, Chip N' Dale, Battletoads & Double Dragon, Chojin Sentai Jetman to name a few.
 
My first game console wasn't really *just* mine. It was our entire families and it was this bad boy...

We have both the CelecoVision and the Atari and IMHO the CelecoVision was SO much better. That controller rocked too, haha. To this day I'm not entirely sure what the number pad even did. :p

A few years after that, Christmas of 1988 I remember unwrapping this...

So much fun was had with this.. I swear I had so many games for it that I've lost over the years. It's hard to believe that I would just "lose" games but I'm not sure if they're in my parents attic or at other friends houses (a trade gone wrong, lol) or what. This was my first *real* introduction to home console video games. I was hooked ever since.

I more or less got a new console, on or around launch since.. Well, new Nintendo console. You couldn't pay me to touch that Sega garbage at the time, haha.

SNES blew me away and I loved the heck out of the N64. The PSOne is what changed my gaming forever. I went from being a Nintendo only guy to a Sony guy.. It was a day of great changes.. But one long remembered. :p
 
Well, the Atari was my family's but I'm pretty much the one who played it. Glad I'm not the only one who started with a vintage system.
 
My first console ever was Atari 2600. I was more into the 3rd party games.

My top 3 are:

Mario Bros
Worm War 1
Up N' Down
 
Atari 2600

Pretty surprised more than one other person started with the 2600.
