NES.

I was all about the Super Mario Bros games and my lil bro thought Duck Hunt was the bomb. The Zapper Gun was pretty frickin sweet.

Other; Philips.

It was the Videopac G7000, otherwise known as the Magnavox Odyssey2, of my mother. It took a while until there would be a newer console in our house, which was the Nintendo 64. After that it went fast. Before the N64 though I was introduced to and played games on my aunt’s NES and SNES and our own PC/Mac.

Even considering how much I loathe them now, it was a Playstation. Now I own only Xbox consoles. OTOH, when I went for other consoles, I bought all the oldies, from Saturn, to Turbograf, to NES to SNES and so on and forth.

Consoles does make me ask if the Commodore and Spectrum count though.

I started Gaming on Mattel Intellivision, and Advanced Dungeons & Dragons was my most favourite game :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MDVwAXVJ3w I loved it !

In that video, the guy played the game for the first time, and he didn't have any idea about what to do in the beginning.     edited : the difficulty level was from 1 to 5 if I remember correctly, and that guy was play at 1/5, judging from the speed of the Dragon.
