>Your first videogame console

>>334272287
I'm honestly not sure what exactly to count as my first console. The first console I played on (I think it was the Genesis) or the first console that was purchased in my lifetime (N64)? Because my family were into vidya since the halcyon days of the Atari 2600 (which we actually still own, along with a collection of games for it that, yes, includes that execrable E.T. game), and hence my first experiences were through the systems that they had already bought.

not that it was the worst thing I played on that console (don't really remember the games' names but I vaguely remember a lot of terrible stuff)

>>334272287
I'm still upset that I got rid of my Dreamcast. That said, apparently they're not really that expensive, so maybe I can just buy another sometime.

That said, first console ever was the Nintendo 64, although I do remember that at one point, I did have a PC that could play some games on it (we had Mortal Kombat 2 and 3, plus Tomb Raider 2, I believe?), as well as a Game Boy Color. Early childhood for me is a blur by this point.

But N64 was definitely my first home console.

Buy a dreamcast again,
You can pirate the entire the library really easily if you just want to play a game hard to find,
but most games are rather cheap anyway

What the fuck is wrong with the NES? I know it was completely underpowered compared to the master system but it still had some great games.

>>334276109

I still have one, they are so fucking great.

There are also pretty good Dreamcast Emulators for PC where you can play pretty much any game even with XBOX Controller.

Genesis. Probably broken because of how me and my sister used to slam the carts in when we were kids. A used silver GBA SP was my first handheld, had MMBN3B and Golden Sun 1 and 2 for it. Lost somewhere in the house now.

GBC came out in 98 man. Most people wouldn't have gotten a console until 4 or 5 at the earliest. GBA and GBC make sense for being someone's first. I was born in 95 and didn't get a console until a GBA when I was 7.

Just because you are underage and learned about video games through Youtube doesn't mean everybody else did as well. Personally my first console was the SNES but I usually played DOS most of the time and my best friend had a NES together with a Commodore 64.

that I owned? N64

You gotta realized time moved slower back then. I was born 89 and my older brother 86. That's old enough to have enjoyed shit from the early 80s like the Commodore. Technology was slower back then and technology were appreciated longer than today.

When you were eight the n64 was already fucking out.

NES from a garage sale, then a PS1 from another garage sale. The first console which was store bought was a N64. First one I bought only for myself was a PS2 then an Xbox. First games ever were some old ass WW2 flight Sims on PC. Needless to say I've been an idort from the start. Though the trade off of having basically every console until seventh gen was that I never had many games, I just rented them.
