[vintagegamer89]

I'm sure theres a post on here somewhere like this. But anyways what was your very first game system ever? The first one you ever experianced the glory of home video gaming on?

 

My first was an Atari Jaguar.

A Jaguar was your first system? You young whippersnapper! My first game machine was a Coleco Telstar Pong console.

I was going to say the 2600 (well, VCS, actually), but then I remembered the first one we had was a Unisonic Tournament 2000 (a Pong-style system). The first one that was really "mine" though was the VCS.

Probably the Atari 2600... might have been pong, but I don't think so.

Atari 2600 with Defender for Christmas... When I first hooked it up and basked in its black and white flickering glory - I was in heaven. I played it so much it was ridiculous!!

[kemsted]

well the first i ever remember playing was super mario world for snes but we had a atari 2600 in the basement that i found a year or so later.

[2600Lives]

Atari Super Pong Christmas of 79, then a 2600 Christmas of 81 I believe. Maybe 82, don't really remember. Anyway, the pong broke years ago, but my 2600 is the original one, except for of course, the joysticks.

VCS

Easy.. the Telstar Colortron. Used 2 9 volt batteries, one for sound and one for video. Since batteries were expensive the sound was often the first thing to be neglected I remember one time we splurged and got both batteries and was shocked to hear the sound as it had been so long and I had gotten accustomed to none
