My parents were kinda poor. Also, i was in Brazil (still am) when Brazil was a really lousy place in terms of economy and inflation.
So, I had a PHANTOM SYSTEM, which is a NES clone.

My parents gave me pirated games as gifts like 2 times a year.
Ghostbusters was my first game. My favorite was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3, which we called Turtles 3.
Also, I remember liking Ariel, the Little Mermaid. Again, I was 10 years old...

I also like Ariel, nothing to be ashamed of insert NSFW photo here =P

I was think about the ARIEL NES game, lol =D



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

First console? GameCube for life! (Seriously, it still works and I plan on getting extra controllers for it soon.)

It was dumped in us by our uncle after his game rental business suffered a lack of GameCube-related demand. It fame with Starfox Adventures, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and NBA Live 2004. All the way back in 2005. *sheds a tear*

My brother 100%-ed Live 2004 a few years back.
We finished Starfox Adventures two years ago. *sheds a tear*
I still play Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and to this day, I know of a nice little glitch that no one else talks about. *sheds waterfall of tears*

It's the reason I'm a Nintendo gamer through and through. (Though, I ignored my Gameboy Micro and our DS for a while because of the PSP.)

Haha I see we have a youngin over here.

I never have owned a GCN, its the one retro console I want to go buy the most right now but games for it here are expensive =(

I also never had a PSP =(  PSP and DS were both amazing handhelds. No generation will come close to them, especially now that we are in the smartphone age

Well, I'm turning 16 in less than a month. So, yes, I'm young for a Ninty fan.

And, I agree. No handheld generation will compare to the one where Nintendo had to fight to be declared the overall winner. Such fun times.

I didn't have a console that was truly mine until I was 4, when I got a PS1 for Christmas in 1999.

Atari 2600.

It came with a 2 player tank game called Combat and was a Christmas present. Among the cartridges we had for it were Space Invaders, Missile Command, Robot Tank, Super Breakout, Pac Man, Othello and Night Driver.

I have played the E.T. game (owned by a friend) although I never owned a copy myself.

My first console was a N64 along with Super Mario 64, pretty sure my parents just got me one after seeing how much I wanted it.

I do not buy pirated games anymore, it was when I was a kid.


Same here. I didnt knew the NES I got during childhood was pirated. And I always get brand new games to support devs.
