The first console I bought was the PS1 for Tombraider 2 as I thought it would run it better than my PC at the time. I initially tried to return it as the resolution looked appalling, being used to a monitor with 640x480 without interlacing. But I got used to interlacing and eventually enjoyed the ease of it just working.
The first console my parents bought for us was the MSX which was just out then. It was the Phillips version, my dad worked for Phillips and got it at a discount at the employee electronics store. The big factory / office he worked at had a whole electronics store with all Phillips products.
The first console I played on was the Atari 8 bit at friends, also just new at the time.
First PC I played on was an 8086 with 2x 10 Mb hdds, CGA with a black, green, bright green monitor, jumpers on the video cable to set which of the 4 colors mapped to the 3 'shades' the monitor could display, also bought through Phillips. We had a new PC every year as my dad's work provided them while my dad was working on software there. So I got to play on the all 286, added 80287, 386dx, 486dx, 486dx2.
First PC I bought was a Pentium 90, just out at the time.
