My first console was the NES; my mother tried to teach me how to play, but could never make it past the first jump in Mario. I did it on my first try then my mother left for work content she didn't need a baby sitter anymore.

I'm 15, turning 16 soon. The first system I player was a Nintendo 64, the first system I owned was a Playstation 2 (presuming that a PC doesn't count).

I had my 21st birthday earlier this year so as you may know that makes me 20. My first console was either a Master System or a NES but I only really remember excessively playing my Megadrive. Anyone else play Columns way too much?

I'm 20, first console was the Sinclair ZX Spectrum...and it was awesome.

20. First system was either an Atari or an Nes. I can't remember if I had the Atari first or I got it from a friend for free after the Nes.
