What was the first console you bought with your own money, and why did you choose it?

I had a similar arrangement with my best friend at the time as well! But I was to one who got the 64, since I was older and working, so I could afford a few games in carts.

Yeah me too, my best friend had a PS1 and I had an N64, so we each got to play both; I'd visit him to play Croc, Crash, and Spyro, he'd visit me to play Banjo Kazooie and Lylat Wars.

One of the games we would play the most was a motocross one, besides Tekken, at his place. At ours it would be Goldeneye and most versions of Turok. We would also see each other play single player games: I saw him going through Symphony of the Night (with loads of envy lol), and he saw me go through Banjo and Ocarina, for example.
