I got mine for Christmas 1998 when I was 9.
It's hard to overstate just how impressive it felt at the time, going from SNES to full 3D.
It wasn't just the graphics, but also the kind of experiences made possible by 3D worlds, the liminal spaces that teased your imagination, the mood and atmosphere of say Ocarina of Time or Mario 64.
Still one of my favourite consoles, even if it's a bit rough to revisit now as technology has come a long way since.
