What was your first video game system?

Serg · 02-04-2006, 11:44 PM

Ok... this might be dating some of us here, but I think it would be cool to see what was the first video game system that you owned.

For me it was around 1982 and it was the Atari 2600, I think my parents paid around $179 for it. I was 11 years old.

Man I loved that thing.. First game I got was Space Invaders... I can still hear that sound of them going left to right on the screen.

I recall spending around $40 freakin' dollars on Night Driver and thinking it was so cool. Pitfall was neat as well. Looking back at those systems now, man it's soo funny how horrid the graphics were.

I actually have several Activision and Atari old school compilations for my PS2.. man these games are still fun to play, but funny as well. One of my favorites is an Activions compilation for the PS2 that plays 80's music during game play! ok ok... I am soooo stuck in the 80's, I know!!

What about you? What was your first video game system?

My first was the PS1. I can't remember how much it costed and when I bought it
must of been a few years back. I don't think I have it now, I have no idea where I have put it. Since then I have bought the XBOX and PS2. Playstation is for me and by far my favourtie. Always was always will be..

My first console system was the Nintendo Entertainment System. NES. I loved it like there was no tomorrow, for many years, even after the SNES, after the PS1, heck I was still playing Super Mario Bro's 3 after the N64 was released! I still regret selling it for $20, especially considering my friend who bought it never even paid me the darn $20... I'd probably still be playing some of those games once in a while... sigh...

Atari 2600 - Pitfall wa the game I loved along with Pacman....

My next was not a system is was IBM PC released (4.7 MHz Intel 8088, 16 kb RAM, DOS 1.0) for $1565, legitimizing the PC & beginning the WinTel (Windows-Intel) monopoly - I gamed on this thing for years my favorite game being decathlon

First system was the old Nintendo Entertainment center with Duck Hunter and Mario Bros.. The next one was the NES with alot of games. Then got the N64 with again alot of racing games. Then a PS1, shortly after, the PS2 which took a crap on me and now I have the new flat PS2. My brother continued the legacy of Nintendo in our family with the Game Cube. That's all I got for now. Oh and just this last weekend used my mom's notebook to play Evo 4x4.

I got the super nintendo when it first came out for christmas one year with mario and a space game darius twin. I still have the system and play it every now and then. My favotite game by far is Zelda awesome game.

roer · 02-09-2006, 01:00 AM

Got an NES in the Christmas of '89, I was one happy camper then. I wish mine still worked however, wouldn't mind playing through Mario 3 one last time.

llesra · 02-09-2006, 08:21 AM

i got snes paired with donkey kong country some time in the early 90s. that system was the best.

Serg · 02-10-2006, 05:02 AM

Donkey Kong!!! oh the memories... and Decathlon.. that was a good one..

Anyone recall Impossible Mission? I played it on Commodore 64... one of my most favorite C64 games

"Aah, another visitor. Stay a while...stay forever!"

CineMATTaG · 02-12-2006, 08:36 PM

My first was a PS1 and the game that got me into it was Jumpingflash, I don't if anyone else here has played that but that was one of my favourite Ps1 games. That was until I discovered Final Fantasy VII!!

I remember before going round a friends house and he had an Amega (or something like that) I remember spending hours playing that

My first video game console was the game boy pocket. I bought it with Mortal Kombat 3 and I loved it! Then I waited to buy a new console 'till the PSone was out. First game was Formula one 2000

SxDxMxF · 02-19-2006, 01:18 AM

My first was the game boy color, followed by the PS2.

Blonde Jon · 02-19-2006, 02:02 AM

Mine was an Atari. I don't know the model number, but I remember playing frogger on it. Frogger was awesome. We always seemed to be behind all the other kids. While we were playing Atari all the other kids were playing on the Nintendo.

deadmoon · 02-19-2006, 04:01 AM

A Nes.

Not a Snes. A nes. It was quality. I still love the Nes, just for Super Mario World 3.

Havn't played it for a while though

Serg · 02-19-2006, 04:02 AM
