My first console was an RCA Studio II although the VCS did exist my parents were too poor to get one until Sears started carrying the Tele-Games ones and my mom got an employee discount.

Intellivision. I loved those games so much.

This is my favorite vintage Studio II photo.

Nintendo Entertainment System. I knew no one with a Master System. Did no one have Master Systems? J.G. Quintnel had a Master System, that's why the SMS is in Regular Show.

Played NES but my first that was all mine was the Genesis
though I may have had a gameboy before that

It wasn't that popular in the US. It did better elsewhere, though.

In my neighborhood, the only kid with a Master System was the rich kid who had every system.

Born in 1985, Atari 2600 was the first system I played, though NES was already out. My memories of playing the Atari are fairly vague. Even my first time playing the NES is pretty cloudy.

The same was true here. That rich kid here was also from Europe, so maybe that had something to do with him having one too.

My first? NES with Power Pad.

Everyone shits on the Power Pad but I found WCTM kinda fun. And the smell of the vinyl wa glorious.

First I remember having in the house was a pong variant. It wasn't the one with the decals that you put on the screen to simulate different games but rather one with a dial that changed which pong type you were to play.
Either that or some Atari variant of some sort. Don't quite recall.

Was that rich kid me? I am from Europe. I hadalmostall the systems. The only /vr/ ones to my knowledge that I've never owned were Jaguar, 32X, CD-I and 3DO. I even had the 'spensive-ass Neo Geo. While I never personally owned Saturn, my brother had one.
I did, however, have Colecovision, Intellivision (don't remember which), NES, SMS, SNES, GB, GBC, SGB, MD, SCD, Lynx, TG-16 (three, actually, the TV-console one, a portable PC-E GT and a TE), Duo, every Atari including some ST or other and other consoles that are either, at the moment, slipping from memory or that my brother owned and I only played around with intermittently.

Nintendo 64. It took that long to convince my parents to get us a console. Had to play my relatives' and friends' consoles before that.

My older brother had a Game Boy though.

My first contact with videogames was with a Coleco Vision, probably around 1989/90, I was 5. Shortly after I got a Famiclone with lots of games.

Atari or NES, and my parents kind of regret it. Sometimes I do too, but those times are few and far between.

I'm fairly certain it was the SNES, but it might have been the 64. I remember my uncle giving us his 64, so I'm pretty sure we already had a SNES, but I'm not sure.

Amiga 500, if you can count it as a console. If not, it would be a SNES.
