Your first ever gaming system/console?

Mine was a Specrtum 128k back in the early 80s, when the games were on cassette and took ages to load! My brother and I saved up for about 6 months to get one and used to play the games on a black and white portable TV lol.

It's amazing how much things have moved on in a comparatively short time.

I started fairly late with the standard Playstation. I never had anything before that, unless you also count PCs which games could be played on. Console wise though, nothing before I got the Playstation.

My first ever was my mom's Nintendo Entertainment System. Later, I backtracked and had an Atari before finally moving forward to Super Nintendos, Playstations, etc.

Possibly i played on one of these computers in school when i was a kid, but i don't remember what type of games. Certainly they were educational games more than Mario or any of the platform games as it was a school environment.

Most of these replies are making me feel old now lol. I do remember when my friend first got a Nintendo though and we were all totally in awe of Mario! It was such a step up from anything I'd seen previously. Amazing to think now how obsolete even the PS1 is.

You don't have much game types. You have some arcades, puzzles and that's it. The graphics is so bad that even the 1994 games have looked like Skyrim.
