discussion What was your First Games Console / Computer

[Frakkerr]

I have vague memories of playing a PS1 and another of playing a game boy classic. I was so young though that I couldn't tell you which one was first

I still remember when my dad brought home the og Xbox when I was a kid.

My first was a Commodore 64 with the games on old cassettes. Games were numerous and cheap back then, too, albeit a lot of them were buggy.

First Console: Atari VCS 2600 with Super Breakout and Asteroids Cartridges.
First Computer was a Commodore C64, learned Basic, Pascal, Logo and Assembler on it... (and played a lot)

Honestly not certain which was first - I was way too young to remember for sure, but I think it was a C64 with both cassette drive and floppy disk, and even a Turbo cartridge. I also had a then already old IBM PS/2 to play around with, a whopping 8 MHz Intel 8086 CPU. And just a little later a huge, heavy towering 286 as well to play all those classic games like Leisure Suit Larrys and Monkey Islands, that I still play every now and then just for the nostalgia value. Probably needless to say, I've been surrounded by all sorts of IT pretty much all my life.

Had an Atari [some number lost to history] which was used for Sid Meier's Pirates (and a questionable copy of the Treasure Fleet/Silver Train schedules )

My first PC was a few years later with a 386. Ski or Die, Wolfenstein 3D & Dune 2 were my first games on it.

Same firsts as me - though I never learned anything but Basic.

Growing up As a family we had the Sega Master System, then we got the playstation 1 when it was released. And I got the original Xbox and a Gameboy colour

Ha!
We had a PET 2001 in School, wow, that was an annoying beast! The key caps on the non-standard integrated keyboard got unreadable due to vanishing stickers on on them. Luckily i did not have to do much with it....
Yeah, you win!

I was so young that I don't remember the exact pc but it was a HP machine with the windows xp. played the heck out of windows 3d space cadet pinball.

 

[FapConnoisseur]

PS2 for me...... everything was so much simpler back then - you just played what you had, if not, tough luck. And somehow that gave so much more value to everything, or maybe that's just nostalgia.

Arr, 2001 was not the year we had to use it, just the model number in the PET series...

Technically, my first computer/console was playing Frantic Freddie on my grandfather's Commodore 64. But realistically, it was an NES. Still have it in my childhood bedroom. Love that stupid plastic box.
