    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?

    Well Il need to find the hand book again But i saw it last month :)

    I have no need for it any more.
    And if you still have and play a nes. prehaps you want it.

    I wish I was, now. I live in Canada, and I'd break a leg for a Game Genie. I do have the Super Game Boy cartridge for the SNES, though.

    Bragging aside, though, thank you kindly for the offer.

    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...

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

    My first console was ColecoVision. I sure loved that thing. Too bad they aren't still a player today. "Mouse Trap" = ultimate version of PacMan. Although "Lady Bug" was quite a good PacMan offshoot as well.

    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.

    I think I clicked the wrong one. I was a little distracted. Anyway, I had one of the Atari's, I suppose. Well, my parents had it. But during a move the van had its top ripped off in a rain-storm. And all the games were lost. Personally, my first console was a used N64 right before the PS2 came out. Yup, I was late. But I played war games (table tops) when I was little.
