[Danish_4116]

My first system was the PS1 and my first games were Croc: Legend of the Gobos and Need For Speed: High Stakes.

I'm 18 now.

Now I'm 22.

PS2. I'm 17. First game I really liked... Timesplitters. Legendary game. Still got it, still play it (not that it really holds up against modern shooters).

I'm 15, but since I had an older brother, I grew up with a N64 and at my dad's place was a NES.

I'm 21 and my first was the Dendy [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System#Hardware_clones], basically an NES ripoff sold in the countries of the former soviet union in the early to mid nineties. No specifically warm gaming memories from back then, though I do distinctly remember playing Mortal Kombat on it. Also those wonderful buggy over-9000-games cartriges.

Yeah.. I had a couple of those they broke down like once a year.. and you couldnt repair them so you just went out and bought a new one.. The controllers tired out in lika month if you play constantly.. And oh those fun yellow cartriges.. like 999 in one were actually bout 15 different games and a million versions of those..

Good times..

Oh yeah.. I'm 23..

You know, that specific system is still alive and kicking. It's like 15 years old right now and I got it second hand from friends. My grandfather still plays tetris on it.

 

[Sammaul]

30 years old now and my first console was a Sega Master System II, with an onboard copy of Alex Kidd in Miracle World......

Memories, sweet mammaries.

 

[MCrewdson001]

16 and it was the ps1

 

[WolfR]

20 and it was the very first big ol' fat yellow Game Boy, LOVED IT.

 

[Random Encounter]

Super Nintendo. Good Times.

 

[Takolin]

Either the orginal gameboy (got it when I was 6 or 7) or my brother's NES. I'm not sure what came first.

I'm 24 now.

 

[Teh Jammah]

29 and a good ol' NES. Which I still have somewhere.

 

[Hitisanta]

14, and ps2 good times with the first splinter cell

 

[dogenzakaminion]

I'm 20 and my first was the Nintendo 64. Got it when I was 9 if it matters.

 

[ultimateownage]

15, first was a PS1. One of my brother's friends lent it to us. Not having a memory card made actually progressing in Spyro a right *****.
I have memories of older consoles, which is odd because I never played any before the PS1 to have real nostalgia for them. I have Blitz (for the Commodore 64) and ZX Spectrum T-Shirts even though I wasn't alive for either of those systems.

[Sarah Kerrigan]

I can't remember if it was Playstation 1 or a Gameboy Advance. One of those.
