Retrogaming!

Super Nintendo!!! With Donkey Kong 2. That sound track is still BANGIN'. 

I thiiiiiink the SNES! Barely remember it though, I was pretty young. I remember the N64 better. XD

The first console I got was a Nintendo 64. It still works great after all these years! (* ^ ω ^)

Mine was a Gameboy with Super Mario Land!

played a shit ton of gamecube lulz, melee was such a good game and sunshine too wish i could experience sunshine for the first time again

Love the mega drive/Genesis, especially Shining Force, definitely one of my favorite RPG's of the time.

First Console: Game Boy Advance SP

First game on console: Some sorry bionicle game. But I'd like to find or play it again.

Dreamcast with Sonic Adventure + Demo Disc bundle

I used to play the PS3

sadly after 2020 its doesn't work anymore :(

Ami me encanta jugar los juegos del Nintendo 64 por lo que buscando encontré una aplicación se llama N64 ganes, tiene todos los juegos de antes, mortal combat, sonic, Mario, super Mario bros, donkey Kong, entre otros

The wii and xbox 360, I played a lot of older games on emulators. I absolutely adore the old games!!

My first game was a thing called super calculator and basically it was a fake copy of the original gameboy, but it had a cool calculator lol

embarassing but my first was an xbox 360 that we rented, eversince then ive been trying to get my hands on another xbox 360

it was such a magical experience as a child

My first console was PSX! I lost it tho (literally no clue where it is) and now I'm collecting old games/consoles :3

mine was the snes and nintendo ds. i still play on my 3ds from time to time, usually just for pokemon (x and y is very fun actually!)

ps2! lob katamari damacy smmm

my first gaming medium was a blue Nintendo DSi that was gifted to me by my stepdad when i first met him in the Philippines. apparently, when i first met my father, i was afraid of him, calling him a "ghost" because he was so pale LOL.

the most memorable game was Super Mario Bros, but i never finished it. i unfortunately don't remember what other games i had.... later i got my first console, the Nintendo 64, where i'd play Diddy Kong Racing, Rampage: World Tour, and GoldenEye007. i had many more games, but tbh, the aforementioned are the only ones i remember. the console was cool as heck too: it was translucent green.

then, i got an Xbox 360 where i'd play COD games, Minecraft, and Destiny with my stepdad. i sniper-shyat on doods in MW2 and AW as i was around ~5 years old LOL. i played so much Minecraft, but i never finished the game legit, but my building skills were sick. (i actually started playing Minecraft on an iPad). i even posted a Minecraft world-tour of my dad and i's creative world, and a tutorial on how to make a block that you can use as a chest via minecarts. i also played so much Destiny, but i was so BADDDD at it. looking back at it now, i was so clueless on how to play the game. i don't even know how i had fun playing Destiny because of how clueless i was....

oouuuu and i also played Halo 2, but i never finished it because it was too difficult, but the PvP was very fun.

my first (and only) console was an xbox 360 and i played the crap out of sonic generations on it.

The original PlayStation

Mine was the sega genesis, but a bootleg version...I don't even remember the name of it, lol

what a journey i've had. for starters, i never got a hold of an actual "retro" gaming console. the earliest console my family owned was the ps3 and the xbox 360. to curb my wishes of experiencing an "authentic" retro gaming experience as best as i can with only emulators and a shoestring budget, i've amassed a relatively respectable collection of cheap off-brand retro controllers. the controllers i've owned so far range from nes controllers, snes controllers and even a gamecube controller.

for most people this would obviously be a major red flag since, well, they're cheap off-brand controllers, but here's the thing, they have usb ports... and that's it.

i've never owned or felt a real, authentic controller before, so i can't really say much on quality or feel. they feel alright, i guess. all i know is i got what i bargained for, and it works pretty well, they've stood the test of time for me and i've gotten pretty far with these controllers since buying them, and i plan to scour the internet for more of these controllers to explore even more consoles.

maybe one day i'll get an actual console, but it's up in the air since i can't find a good place to put it in.

My first console was a Wii I think, but my favorite console as  kid was my parent's old N64, I used to play the hell out of old mariokart 64 and Goldeneye 007. I still have it sitting in my room somewhere, I should see if it still works.

Sega Dreamcast!

psp

My first was technically the game Boy advanced, but I don't start caring about consoles until the Nintendo Wii/U. 

So I would say the Wii consoles were my first.

I had a N64, hoping to reclaim the stuff I had one day!

The games I had included Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2, Super Mario 64, and Mario Party 2 and 3! Those last 2 were my favs!

OG Xbox with Mechassault :)

mine was the SNES,one of the best console oat

Sega Genesis.  Still have it too.

Mario Kart Wii and I still play it!

PC gamers over here ;)

I grew up with the Gamecube, still love it to this day.

Pretty sure Gamecube was my first, still have it and play it.

Mine was the wii and wii u, I love those consoles 

Nintendo 64 with Mariokart 64 one of my favorites growing up.

PS2 PS3 and PSP especially the PSPs homebrew I love playing  Cod zombies minecraft quake and half life on my 3000

I grew up on PlayStation and still have all my original hardware! I think I have every console both home and handheld! Well except for the PlayStation pocket device but that thing is a little out of my reach tbh <: 

Since I moved countries tho I have missed playing PS1 :(

Family Game (argentinian 90's famiclone)

Yep! Here I am! And I'm happy to see we are quite a few on here!

My first one was the Sega Master System II. Well, it was my mom's tbh, I'm not that old. But It was the first I ever played on!

My own very first console was the PS2, and it's still my favorite to that day! I dream of achieving a fullset (EU games only, I'm not that crazy lol) but I'm still far from it.

My first console was my Uncles old ps3 that came with sonic 06.

I think the original PS1 has given me literal THOUSANDS of hours worth of entertainment. More than any other console i've had...even though I haven't used it in probs over a decade it will always be precious to me 

mine was a micro color gameboy i still play it!

N64 my dad sent me from Mexico haha

MY first console that was exclusively mine was an N64 with Jet Force Gemini and Rayman 2.

However, the first console I remember playing was my family's SNES. We played Super Mario World a ton.

first console that was Mine was a ds lite, first console i ever played on (that was my brothers) was a gameboy advance.

I had a PS2 growing up, Got to play the OG god of war, pretty cool NGL getting to play something graphic after only playing mario fan games your entire life

other notable games I've played were spongebob battle for bikini bottom, sled storm, prince of persia sands of time, COD world at war final fronts

Honestly the PS2 is what got me into retro gaming and I continue to play older titles to this day albeit on my XBox

(I broke the PS2)

i was born in the 2000s but i had a lot of older siblings.

basically whenever a new console would come out my parents would buy it for them and they would play with me but they left the consoles after they moved out.

we had a generation of retro gaming consoles growing up because of my older siblings. we had an atari and the game mat and the duck hunt/golden eye gun and everything!!

my favorite was the dream cast because of sonic and jet set radio. i also loved playing parrappa and final fantasy on the ps2 (yes thats retro now lol)

but soon i was an older sibling too and i would get to share other consoles with them like the game cube and original ds and game boy color and the n64. we would play donkey kong together and mario cart and melee a lot.

i moved out which means i left all of those consoles behind for my ltitle siblings including out xbox and wii and stuff. so that means i dont have my original copies of skyward sword or epic mickey anymore but finally we got them to port!!!

our city has a huge flee market where people sell retro gaming sets so hopefully ill make a good find someday. i grew up really loving retro games and im glad i have someplace to talk about them >:3

I started out playing games on a PS3, which isn't reallyy retro, but I've been emulating PS1 games lately :3
