My first contact with videogames was at the age of 06, with my sister´s Philips Telejogo ( A Brazilian Pong clone, with just three games and no detachable joysticks )
My first actual console came when I was 12, as a birthday gift from my parents. It was a CCE Turbo Game (another Brazilian console, but this time it was a Nintendo clone, compatible with both 60 and 72-pin cartridges).
Before that , I occasionally played on my brother´s Atari 2600, on a friend´s Sega Master System, or on arcades on my neighbourhood - Ms. Pac Man, Xevious, Green Beret, Commando, Traverse USA were the most common games back them. I also played a lot of Mega Drive (Genesis) and SNES games at game/movie rental stores.
The first console I bought myself was a Nintendo 64, at the age of 18. I still have it and it still works !
