    Sega Master System II.

    Until then it was all home computers, partic. a tape drive using Commodore C64.
    The scary thing about leaving the Org for a while and then coming back is the exponential growth of "gah!" on your return...

    Believe it or not: I´ve never touched a console in my entire life. I´m playing games for 20 years now.

    If you've never owned a console, why are you on this post?

    Exactly. What are we to do who started gaming on the computer and never looked back (or forward,sideways)?

    My first console was the NES. Had to share it with my brother. After that a Gameboy wich my parents made me share with my brother as well (curse him)

    However all was forgiven later on when he bought a SNES and let me play on it sometimes

    Much later he bought a Playstation 2 and again later an Xbox, but by that time I had moved out and couldn't be bothered with consoles anymore. Never have been really fascinated with consoles anyway, I prefer mouse and keyboard over a retarded 8-button controller.

    NES was cool, though.

    The only 8-button controller I can think of is the SNES. Are you...badmouthing the SNES?

    First console? The NES.

    I'd been playing games on the good ole CoCo long before that.

    I have been playing computer games since I was 10 years old (20+ years ago) but despite that fact my first console is the XBox 360...

    I had a BBC Master as my first computer (Elite being the main game there) and then by the age of 12 we had our first PC (286, 10MHz, 64K RAM, CGA graphics) and I never looked back from that point.

    I picked up the 360 because I have friends into console gaming and basically I have the spare cash to experiment a little. Plus there is a sea-change in PC gaming coming I think...
