Genesis was what I first played games on. Really started playing games with a PS1, though.
I never owned an NES, SNES, or N64. And don't care. Finally played Ocarina after getting my Wii...Didn't seem to find it as "amazing" as all of you do. But to that end, I found Link to the Past and Wind Waker to be my favorite Zelda games.
I'm glad I started with a Playstation, though. The N64 had a lot of good times...IF YOU PLAYED WITH FRIENDS. Goldeneye, Smash Bros, Mariokart...etc. All shitty solo experiences.
But the PS1 is where I discovered RPGs. You can have your Zelda, your Mario, and your Perfect Dark...I had Grandia. Man...did I love that game.
