Atari 2600, River Raid FTW! Though the first console I bought was the PS3 after I left uni, I was PC gaming only throughout my childhood/early adult years.

Yeah I was interested to see where everyone started! It's really close for those 3 gens, which is mainly what I was expecting from it.

38 people from Gen 1 tho that is quite class that we have a large number of old gamers on here, unless of course people might have thought that the Atari 800/2600 was the first gen of consoles.

What was your favorite game from that gen?

You've got to experience all 3 companies somewhat, that's pretty awesome! Just need some Super Nintendo in there ;D

Dude... That's a very hard question.
Super Mario World was my first game ever, so I spend a lot of my childhood playing it. I also love the Donkey Kong Country trilogy (Especially the third one), Super Street Fighter II and Yoshi's Island.
I used to rent some games. Chrono Trigger was by far my favorite.
I never had a Sega Genesis, but a friend of mine had one. I used to like the first Sonic the Hedgehog and Quackshot Starring Donald Duck.
