Was your first gaming system the newest gen available or an older gen?

First system I owned was a Game Boy in launch year.

First home console I owned was a SNES in 1994, when the 32-bit consoles were launching in Japan and there were a bunch of failed mid-generation consoles like the Jaguar and 3DO that didn't really belong to either the SNES/Genesis era or the PS1/N64/Saturn era.
