I had something before the NES since as long as I can remember. No idea what it was...colecovision maybe? Had a wierd controller.

So since I was born I guess?

Same. First was a commodore 64. My dad had it. Ended up with an Atari 2600 not long after. Though, they were obsolete when we had them.

Did your first console look like this?

 

 

As for the first console I personally owned... It was a PS2.

Just looked it up.  It was def colecovision.  Not sure why we even had it, my dad hated games lol.  Eventually, I would have an NES that was pretty much mine and my sisters.

I was eight, a used NES



About 5 or so. I got an N64 with Legend of Zelda: OOT. My first contact with video games was playing Nintendo games on my Dad's NES and SNES at 3 or 4. He had all the classics for the SNES. I've been playing video games since I could hold a controller. One of the happiest memories from my childhood.
