Commdore 64 and Amiga thru my father.
Thu console wise I believe the NES was our first.

Yes, I had a Atari and some other random consoles before I got a NES.

I recall getting Dragon Warrior 1 with my very first issues of Nintendo Power

I recall many weekends spent with my brother and friends trying to beat different games and each other

I recall the x mas day I got The legend of Zelda along with Sky Shark Bump'n Jump, TMNT the arcade game, and 2 or 3 others

I recall playing Super Sprint a lot on my NES. VRooom Vroooom

I recall my mother preordering my very first preorder it was Super Mario Bros. 3

I recall my mother always beating me at Dr. Mario and always getting more line then me on Tetris

i recall a lot but thats enough

Gaming in 80s the hell Michael Jackson is all you needed in the 80s Artist of the DECADE MAN
Oh and i wasnt even born back then...but Nintendo was at a all time high thats what i know

totally, I have my first atari 2600 at 5 yr old, with the almighty Asteroids! I think that was back in 1987...

I was remember gaming in the arcades back in 1980 (I was 5.). Got my first console in 82 (Atari 2600). My friends got an Intellivision so I would play over there a lot. I got a Colecovision, then they came over and played a lot. It was all over in 1988 though when we all got the NES and Sega Master System. Talk all you want about Mario Brothers, I was addicted to Alex Kid In Miracle World.

Classic.

Yes. I was gaming on the Spectrum 2048 - Pole Position, Bruce Lee, Commando, Match Day, Saboteur, Bomb Jack, Beach Head, Moon Alert,...

I'm actually shocked to see that there are people older than me in this forum. I knew there were several just a few years younger (we were all on the cusp of game-loving) but shocked to see some people who actually witnessed things I did not (and I'm old enough to have witnessed everything in the world of consoles).

To see dudes approaching 40 and still playing games, well... that's just not something I ever expected in my lifetime and maybe I should write that as my next editorial. It wouldn't get many clicks but damned, it'd be interesting to read about.

I've gamed through everything, I think. I started on this baby: take a look at this awesomeness. I loved that thing (although my version had more games than that one). Moved onto Atari consoles and computers after that, with a few others thrown into the mix as I went.

Yes, I am fairly old.

Back then I was an avid PC gamer - Frogger and Microsoft (?) flight simulator on the good old XT come to mind.

But also of course the NES, with Snake Rattle n Roll, Ducktales, Zelda 2, Kid Icarus, Ice Climbers and SMB2+3 giving the fondest memories
