Forums - Gaming Discussion - What was the first console that you owned?

Mine was this PSone.

When we moved to Canada, we couldn't really afford anything other than like food and rent. But I had a friend back then who I would hang out with and we would play a lot of video games together. He had a PSone and for me it was amazing because I had no idea that something like a home console even existed, the only other games I played before were on PC. We played games like Aladdin, Toy Story Racing and the demos on the Demo Discs. He got a PS2 that Christmas and he gave his PSone to me. Sadly because we still didn't really have a disposible income, I was stuck with the games on the Demo Discs and two full retail games which were Gran Turismo 2 and The Grinch. So now that I have my own money, I've been going back to play all the games I've missed, like Crash, Spyro, Tomb Raider, Metal Gear... etc. But in any case, the PSone will always hold a special place in my heart.

Mine was the Snes! My parents gave it to me for my birthday along with Super Mario World and a bunch of other games

When I was super young (like 3), we owned a SNES, but my parents sold it. I barely remember even playing it. But the first console I consider me owning was the N64, as my parents bought it for me for Christmas. It basically shaped me as a gamer, because I asked for either that or PS1. My parents chose N64, and since then, I've stayed a huge Nintendo fan (though I've since branched out to Sony as well).



Same PSone as the OP.



SNES, only have vague memories of it. My brothers played it mostly but I do remember Donkey Kong and Mario and an X-Men game.

Game Boy and a year later a Playstation, great times for videogames :)

But Playstation was something for everyone in my house, the first console that I bought for me was the Game Cube.



My first console was the SNES I played at my Dad's work. It had Super Mario World, Super Castlevania and some soccer game, but I only really played SMW (Castlevania was too hard for babby me).

But, I didn't really own that console. After that, I played a lot of PS1 but the first console I owned was the PS2 where I really started my gaming habit.



Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

Now you're playing with power, SUPER POWER!



PS1. Christmas 99 and I remember it well. What a glorious day. I got Spyro 1 and 2 and Crash 3. Still play all 3 to this day and I don't think it's nostalgia goggles. My parents were just awesome at picking out games lol
