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
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.

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.
Sega Genesis, we had Batman & Robin and played it allll the goddamn time (no it was not based on the movie... i don't think) then i got Sega Saturn and finally got the nintendo systems and fell in love with gaming i now own almost every single system (except XBOX 360 sorry i just don't see the point when i have a PS3)
I'm 29. The first games I played were on a friend's Atari 2600, the first gaming system we had in our own house was an old 8088 PC.
23, and it was a tough call back in the day between Sega Megadrive, SNES, and PSX. In the end the PSX won with the superior driving game at the time, Ridge Racer.
