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

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.

Yeah it was similar for my and my best mate, he watched me go through Banjo and Ocarina too, though games like realistic violence and guns were banned in my household so I didn't get to play Goldeneye or Turok, those I discovered later in life.
