I was a lucky kid, my PS1 is what first got me into gaming - and I won it and Crash Bandicoot 3 in a competition my mother entered without my knowing.

Hehe, try and imagine how happy I was to walk into the post office and suddenly a PS1 box is dumped in my hands. Forgot how old I was.

Christmas of '92, I believe it was. My brother and I pooled our resources and - with the difference made up by our parents - woke up to a SNES with Street Fighter II. That was 16 years ago (16 years!) but when I think back to that day I can still almost taste the awesome.

It was obviously my N64, back in... I think 1998 or 1999.

And my first game (for that system) was The Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time.

Each system I've gotten has been a good experience, but perhaps one of the better ones was in March of 1988 when I got my NES Action Set - my older sister, mom and I all enjoyed Super Mario Bros. the most, whereas my dad seemed to like Duck Hunt more. NES was my first console after being somewhat of an arcade and PC gamer up until then.

I don't remember exact dates for when I got another console other than September 12, 1999 when I got my Sega Dreamcast.

With all that said, my favorite console game is Twisted Metal 2 for Sony PlayStation.

N64 was mine... Countless hours with Golden007 and Perfect Dark... Legend of Zelda is still one of the best, if not THE best, single player experience I have ever had.

Well I dont get really excited anymore so it would have to be a game from my childhood. That game would have to be Super Mario Brothers 3. Systems dont get me excited.

I had thought that the original Xbox made me the happiest when I got it; until I got a PS3. The PS3 does so much, I am happy, happy, happiest.

I was happy to get all my systems, but I think I was the happiest when I actually bought my own system, and opened up the package myself. Systems like my PSP, my DS, and my Gameboy Micro.

However I was pretty excited when for either my 7th or 8th birthday I opened up a Gameboy Color, and Pokemon Red.

Sonic & Knuckles. Goddamn I was so excited to lock in Sonic 1-3. I was also super excited for Sega Saturn and Virtua Fighter 2. I played the crap out of that game at the arcade.

The system that I was the most excited to get was... NINTENDO 64!!! (Wasn't there a popular internet video on getting this system?) It was for my 10th birthday right after the system came out, and it's the only time I really remember getting a system being an event. I always had an NES and probably had SNES from an age too young to remember.

As far as games go, I can't even remember specifics, but I remember back in the SNES era I used to get games for Christmas and it was always fun. The game doesn't stick with me, but I do remember feeling very excited about getting them. After that era in gaming, I generally just went and got what I needed when it came out; Christmas/Birthday makes it more memorable.

I got a PS1 towards the end of it's life (like I end up doing with most consoles) and my cousins dumped about 2 dozen games on me that they didn't play because they had just gotten a PS2. My brother and I were pretty psyched.

Easily the Christmas I got my Super Nintendo. I woke up and got the SNES, Mario World, Link to the Past, and I think it was Bulls vs. Blazers. Endless fun. I liked it so much more than my Nintendo when I got that and Zelda.

System for me would be my SNES. I don't remeber getting my NES, but if I did, that might have been the one that made me the happiest. For game, I'd say it was probly Castlevania III.

Huh...It was either the SNES or Nintendo 64. Probably the Nintendo 64 along with Super Mario 64. The second that I had played that game, I worked my tail off to earn the money to buy the system.

Nintendo with Mario Bros.

My family was dirt poor back in the day and I didnt think their was a chance in hell that we could ever afford it. Both my older brothers threw in with my parents to buy it, one of the biggest surprises I think Ive ever had in my life.

The Wii was the happiest because I bought it with my money and finally found a store that was selling it at the time. The game I was most happiest was probably between Twilight Princess for the GC after all the delays, Final Fantasy VII and Super Smash Bros. Melee.

I loved the N64 with games like Super Mario 64, Wave Race 64, Star Fox, GoldenEye/etc.
However I didn't have that many games from it (~15).

In the end I prefer my PS2 which has ~40-50 games and growing. :D

I was pretty excited when i got my Sega Genesis with Sonic for Christmas back in like 93 or something. I think all the other consoles I purchased myself. so they weren't as exciting as getting a christmas gift.

Definately Playstation 1 for a present. My first console. Got driver 2 with it was a blast. Eventually I got all the games my dad had that I loved: Twisted Metal, Crash Bandicoot.

Then I bought my first console the PS2 after alot of hard work working for my step dads boss at a car yard when I was 14. It was second hand though so it wasnt as amazing.

My first console I bought with my own money at retail was my Xbox 360. I was so excited, I planned to buy it like a year before. The E3 announcements and previews were all mmy life was I was so excited lol. I remember my mum loaning me $50 so I could pick it up early. i picked up Condemned and PGR3. I was so happy with PGR3 it had AMAZING graphics and was alot funner to play than the others. I liked condemned but I was dissapointed with the graphics to be honest even though I was playing on a SD tv at the time.

I was also hyped for the ps3 but the cost man.... anyway... My 360 broke, I thought screw this im not going to get another one and got a ps3 60 gb launch. It was a great system but not worth that much. Eventually I bought another 360 when the faults cut down and then upgraded it again to an elite which i have now.

good times.
