NES for me - but we did have a couple of Game & Watch handhelds before that.

Playstation, got N64 shortly after with LoZ OoT...didn't let that thing out of my sight it was like a gift from god, that changed when PS2 came out

N64 with Mario 64.

Atari... I remember the boot-up screen, and a single day of my dad and brother playing it.. I was still in diapers, though, so, of course i was too young to play it...

I also have memories of NES, and the big wide, thin carts, but, don't remember anything on the TV.

But, if neither of those count, then, it would be SEGA Genesis, went through four models, and my newest in '98, it still works, and I still enjoy playing it, I also bought another one from a friend last year... 2009 was the 1st year I never got a new game for my Genesis. lol, I know, it sounds weird, doesn't it.

snes was my first one but not really all for ourselves since I started playing it 1997 and it was my brother and I was only 2 but played very little but it was fun... then we got a n64 in 1998 and had a great time ... then we got a gamecube when I was 6 in 2002.... and then the wii. later I got the ps3...

and dont get me started on the handhelds...

nes

My first one was the NES, but I started playing a lot when I got the SNES

NES... about 18 years after it launched :p

First console that I owned would be a Nintendo 64. I may have played the original Gameboy before though.

First I owned? SNES

First I played? NES or Atari 2600, not sure which.
