Colcecovision for the win. Still remember the good times trying to figure out what the hell I was supposed to be doing.

I'm 24 and my very first system was a SNES... but my most vivid gaming memories came from the PS1, and I really consider it what got me really into gaming.

I'm 18 years old, and my first gaming system was a green game boy color, I still remember the first time that I played it *sigh* those were the good old days.

21, GameBoy Advanced. (okay technically the PC, in the days of Windows 95 but I don't count those first few educational games).

My first system was back in 1986, the Spectrum +2, I can still remember my excitement that christmas morning :)

Since then I've had an Amiga 500, Mega Drive, Mega CD, SNES, PS1, PS2. I still own all of them and they still work :)

Currently have an Xbox 360 and a custom built gaming PC, but sometimes I still break out the Amiga and play Frontier: Elite II :D

Will be 34 in december.

First console was an NES or possibly the original GameBoy. I don't know for sure.

Oh wow, I played the Virtual Boy! That thing was awesome back then! But I was scared it'd damage my eyes so I didn't play it too much. I think my family rented it from a Blockbuster.

My first PC was a Pentium II @233MHz with a Nvidia TNT (?? can't remember), StarCraft lagged on it during large battles. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have seen StarCraft lag! Well, it definitely ran it much better than the N64 did :) It ran the original Sims at like 7 FPS, but I still played it xD

I started out 90% console gaming and 10% PC/MAC. Over the years it's flip-flopped. About 95% on PC, and 4% on my PSP and 1% on my roommates 360.

MEMORIES!!

EDIT: Oh yeah, 23 years old.

37, and the first system I gamed on was a Commodore VIC-20. Granted it was a small, weak computer, and was thus not a dedicated gaming system...

The first system that was INTENDED for games, that would be my dad's old Magnavox Odyssey^2 console... O_O

NES on my 7th birthday. I'm 30 now. If I recall correctly, my father never wanted to get an Atari because it looked too primitive compared to arcades. Rygar, Kid Icarus, The Legend of Zelda, and (of course) the Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt pack-in were the first video games I ever played.
