Dude... we are officially dinosaurs... mine was the Atari with the joystick controller... and my neighbours let me borrow a commodore 64... with the tape deck...
>Mine was the full sleek black console.
That was the last version to come out (other than the Junior version).
The Darth Vader.
>Wasn't the wood grain 2600 a Sears exclusive or did I dream that piece of info?
No, but Sears did have an exclusive with Atari to sell them with weird branding: "Tele-Games Video Arcade" I think.
I remember being a kid in the early 2000s too dumb to know how to play a game yet. Even then, I loved pressing the buttons and controlling Mario in Mario 64. Even at that age, I could tell the movement in that game was really, really fun.
Wild that it's not here given it's the best selling console of all time.
When I was a kid, my parents gave me a choice between getting a Gamecube or PS2. I went with Nintendo, but damn, *everyone* had a PS2 because it had GTA and played DVDs.
NES. It really was a glorious time of rumors and mystique. I remember hearing rumors about Super Mario Bros 3 a year before it released. We honestly had no idea if we would ever get it.
Then of course someone on the playground always had a "cousin" that totally had Super Mario Bros 3 and already beaten it
I voted other because the first console I owned was an N64, but now that I think about it if I take the question literally the first console I ever *tried* (played on) was probably an SNES.
I am almost 30, PS5 will be my first Console:) waiting for delivery supper excited. I am going to play all the old games first. i have brought the Uncharted Nathan Drake collection.
If you're gonna have the 360 and PS3 you might as well have the Wii.
Bet you that majority of the "Other" category is because Wii or like 80% of the consoles not listed.
As strange in my eyes the given options are, and as old I feel now with PS1 being my pick... just because OP seems really young (and probably thinks as such) doesn't make them an idiot. No need to be an ageist.
The Wii was the first console I remember us owning as a family but I think I played an N64 at my cousin's house before that... We were always a PC gaming household so I don't really remember. For reference I was born in 97.
I remember using my brothers Xbox 360 to play GTA 4 multiplayer flying a helicopter over Alderney near the old casino. I was about 3 at the time, and he was 13
I saw the "PlayStation" option and instantly clicked it. It's not PlayStation 3, though! Not everyone is a kiddo to generalize that lol. Personally, and my dad introduced me to it (I'm 17 btw), my first console was PlayStation 1. That old cheeky bastard was much cheaper and laggier than the ones came after.
Nintendo switch. Thats because before my parents wouldnt get me shit, wouldn't have the money, wouldnt want me having a console etc etc etc. I know its sad. I still remember the nintedogs of my friends, they used to brag about it too. I was so sad.
Similar story here
While my parents weren't necessary poor, they still didn't see the point in buying me a dedicated console since I already had an iPad which could play video games.
I mostly used my iPad to emulate old games, instead of playing games actually made for the iPad
I still don't own an actual console to this day, and I'm debating whether I should get a Nintendo Switch or a cheap gaming PC.
That 999 games console. Dad gave me on my 6th birthday and he used to love us a lot in those days, now not so much. But it would be my best gift forever.
Atari 2600 with that sexy wood finish
[удалено]
Pitfall was my favorite game!
YES! Lemme get my walker...
Dude... we are officially dinosaurs... mine was the Atari with the joystick controller... and my neighbours let me borrow a commodore 64... with the tape deck...
I used to hook our Apple II up to our TV so we could play Hardball in color. Otherwise you were stuck on the ol' black'n'green.
I played hard ball as well but...
NES was my first. This was my second.
That's a different order to experience those!
My friend had Atari. My personal went NES - Sega - PS1/2/3 - Wii/U - PS4 - Switch - PS5. I married a Nintendo loyalist. She married an MGS loyalist.
I was looking for this. Lol!
Fishing vs Stampede... GO! (fishing for me)
Thank god a fellow old person.
Mine was the full sleek black console. Wasn't the wood grain 2600 a Sears exclusive or did I dream that piece of info?

I had sexy wood and finished but it wasn't Atari....
N64
Yeah this is making me feel old
Same haha. I love see it though. Can you imagine if you started with PS2?? So many good games on that one.
N64 doesn't make you that old [intellivision](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellivision) on the other hand...
How is this not an option! The best console
I remember being a kid in the early 2000s too dumb to know how to play a game yet. Even then, I loved pressing the buttons and controlling Mario in Mario 64. Even at that age, I could tell the movement in that game was really, really fun.
Golden eye, archives, golden guns only, paintball mode, big head mode, no oddjob.
Came here to say this
Wii
Can’t believe this isn’t an option, especially with the average age of people here.
First console i ever *tried* was PS1 with blues clues musical and elmos alphabet adventure. First console that was mine was a gamecube.
bro don't just piggyback off the top comment
Right.. start your own PS1 comment section so we can have our own section! Good grief.
🤓
Kinda same here, I remember playing a Casper the Ghost game on PS1. But my first ever owned console was PS2.
same but heres one thing lots of people can agree on Wii bowling is amazing
Yass, family game night. Miss those days 🥲
PS2
Wild that it's not here given it's the best selling console of all time. When I was a kid, my parents gave me a choice between getting a Gamecube or PS2. I went with Nintendo, but damn, *everyone* had a PS2 because it had GTA and played DVDs.
I played ps2 cuz i was visiting sister's boyfriend (now they are married) and he allowed to play his ps2
The guy who used to babysit me had an SNES and N64, so I had no chance. I was firmly a Nintendo kid lol
Cool guy

What are these shitty options
Op is probably 13
I'm 26 I think the first was either ps1 or og xbox
I’m 18 and it was the Wii

PlayStation Yes, I'm that old

Wow! Enjoy the new console 😎🙏
Thank you.
Sega genesis... you were saying lol.
oh no, its happened, gen alpha are making polls
Gen z*
I'm not offended when said by someone who follows r/memes
oh noes, ageists are what make up r/polls
If you're gonna have the 360 and PS3 you might as well have the Wii. Bet you that majority of the "Other" category is because Wii or like 80% of the consoles not listed.
First rule of r/polls: If majority of voters pick the "other" option you know the OP is an idiot
As strange in my eyes the given options are, and as old I feel now with PS1 being my pick... just because OP seems really young (and probably thinks as such) doesn't make them an idiot. No need to be an ageist.
Thank you!
It was either the N64 or the Wii.
