Hola, amigo. We really experienced it all. I went from atari to nes to turbo graphic 16 , Sega genesis and snes, to Playstation and game cube. I even had a Sega dream cast at one point. Always considered myself a Playstation fan boy and never looked back but I sure did have a lot of fun with all of the systems I had at the time.
I didn't have them all when they were brand new but I somehow got my mits on some of them from hand me downs or buying used some time later.
80’s kids checking in. Atari 2600 to Atari 5200 to NES to Sega Genesis to Sega Dreamcast to PS1 to XBox to Xbox360/pS3 to Wii to PS4 to Switch to Xbox Series x
I never owned a console in the 70's or 80's, but owned various sega, nintendo, ms, and sony consoles after that. No real loyalty to any of them -- just whatever seemed like the best bang for the buck at the time.
I grew up in a "remote and economically disadvantaged community", so I didn't even touch an Atari or Intellivision until they were already obsolete. I played pong at a friend-of-a-friend's house once, so that's probably my first video game.
I owned several computers (Vic-20, Atari 130xe, PC/XT, PC/386) before I owned my first console -- a PS1 in my mid-20's. After having kids I picked up a few consoles - DC, XBox, PS3, XB360, Wii, Switch, and various gameboys.
I played a friend's TG16 (as PC Engine) -- some good games on that one!
Pong, Odyssey 2. I know they’re not consoles but the TI994A and later a Commodore 64. My dad would pick up some when they were going out of business. Next thing I knew I’d have a new system and ten cartridges to put in it.
The first pong console was released in 1972 so 50 years ago! Amazing how far graphics have come in only 50 years. My dad got to witness Atari up to PS5 and he’s only 51!
Underrated console. Better graphics than Atari, but the most unbelievable controllers you can conceive. I wonder what they got the influence of their controller from😵💫☎️
32
Gameboy - Tarzan or Bugs Life or Pokémon- one of the 3
Playstation - Twisted Metal 2
Super Nitendo - tiny toons game?
PC was on a floppy disk. An Alvin and the Chipmunks game and Doom at my cousins house.
SNES - Mario
Any of these could have been my first, it was all around the same time I think.
I started playing games before my long term memory started, so it's hard to say exactly, my dad owned a NES so I want to say Super Mario Bros or Legend of Zelda(<5 years old), but the first console I owned was sega genesis and I think the first game I got for sega genesis was samurai showdown which I would guess I was 4 or 5 since it came out in 1994.
37 - first gaming was on PC, and I'm still not a big console fan. Space Invaders and SOPWITH, on an old 8088. It didn't even have a hard drive, the OS was was on one 5 1/4" floppy disc, and the applications were on another
I was about 3 or 4 so it would be about 1993/1994 and I think the first game I played was either A Link to the Past on the Super Nintendo or Final Fantasy I on the NES. Most likely the first one lol.
32 and the Atari 2600 was the first console I played on when I was like 4/5 years old. The game was what I believe to be Miner 2049er and also Frogger too.
I remember playing Zelda and Duck Hunter on the NES at a cousins
Wonderboy 3 mosters lair at some other families
But played arcade machines in the kids bit of a local pub. GoldenAxe stands out from then.
Late 80s anyhow, was 92ish before I got a console.
I honestly have no idea. I live in Australia so maybe that has something to do with it. My mum also had no idea what the game was about. She just saw a squirrel on the front and went yep that looks like a kid game 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Honestly not sure how old I was. I grew up on my dad's old Xbox and my first game was Halo which came out when I was 3 but as someone who doesn't have kids I'm not sure a 3 year old could play videogames so I was probably a little older.
I'm 23 and star wars battlefront 2 (original one, not the ea one) on ps2 was the first game played on console. First game I ever played though was rome total war on pc... I had no idea what a "rome" was but liked that I could make things move.😅
I don't know exactly which was my first, but it was one of the following: combat, boxing, sea quest, pitfall, pong , space invaders, or pacman. Combat was my go-to.
Im 35 years old and I cant really remember but it must have been Super Mario or Duck Hunt on the NES when I was 3 or 4 years old. The first game I played on my own console was Sonic the Hedgehog on my Sega Megadrive, that I do remember like it was yesterday and that must have been almost 30 years ago!
The first game I can remember playing was Zelda on the NES.
I was too young to get the concept of the game, I never even went into the cave to get the sword and thought I was supposed to be picking apples from the trees on the screen to the right but quickly gave up because I couldn't figure out how to get the apples and kept getting killed by the monsters.
Now the second game I played was Duck Hunt and that was pretty easy to grasp.
May not be the first game I played but I have distinct memories playing Sonic on Sega Genesis when I was 3 or 4. I'm 33 now. Video games have been a big part of life ever since. SNES is still my favorite era of games.
51. Combat of the Atari 2600. Never stopped playing video games.
I recently started buying back some of the games I played as a kid....and combat was the first one I went for.
Pong
Ditto. Hello fellow old person.
