My first console was the Nintendo 64, an amazing system if I may say so.
However I didnt buy my N64, nor was it given to me. No I was lucky enough to win it in a competition. The NBL (Australia's National Basketall League) were running a competition to win a Nintendo 64 with a copy of NBA Courtside. My dad entered me into the comp one weekend while we were watching a match, the next week we tuned into a match and the winners were announced. I was one of the winners, we couldnt believe it. Heres where the story goes away from what you would expect though. A week or so later the console arrived but we never opened it. A few days later my mum gave it away to our cousin. I never got to play my new N64, well not unless I was visiting my cousin. But it didnt matter. My older brother too won a Nintendo 64 in the same competition, I swear my family never has luck like that. Anyway been gaming since, cant think of a better first console either seeing as we had 4 kids in the family and a bunch of friends over all the time. It was the best console for 4 player multiplayer but also had some excellent single player games like OoT and SM64.
So what was your first console and how did you obtain it?? Did you save up money working over the summer, was it a christmas present or maybe you stole it while you were at some rich kids party
