What was your FIRST Console and Game?

Magnavox Odyssey. Though I did start playing that somewhere between the NES/SNES days. That's right, I was playing a pretty old home console even though there were other, better consoles out. This is why I don't complain about the Wii's graphics. I was so far behind that just having a current console is great.

EDIT: Forgot to mention the game. It was probably Bowling or something.

A lot of youngins here starting on the N64/PS1. I kinda feel bad for you guys.

I had an Atari 2600 and some racing game. 

I think the first console and game I played was Ninja Gaiden II for the NES.

The first console I owned was N64 with Super Mario 64 :D

That was mine as well.  For me, it was back in 1974.  It was already a 2 year old console.

It's just funny how "graphics" back then were huge pixels and mylar sheets we had to stick onto the TV screen.

I dont think it was battleship bro. It was setup sorta like Galga. You had a pea shooter like thing at the bottom of the screen and you could move it left and right. airplanes, ships, boats and submarines would go across the screen left and right and you had to shoot them. Now that I think of it, that was over 22 years ago....  :shock:

You probably right. I was thinking about him saying 80's I thought he meant the NES 

Console wise, it was Jumping Flash on the PS1.

However, overall it was Wolfenstein 3D on the PC (about three years earlier).

I find it interesting that I started on a console (it was the second Odyssey, made a mistake) that was at least twelve years old (released 1978 ) and didn't get it till the SNES days which was the 90s.

Stupid smilies.

Did it look like this?

Gamecube/ Super Mario Sunshine was bundled with it.kruesader

Probably the only person to admit that.  You must have started late. 

What is the FIRST console you ever played and owned? Why was it your first and what games really stood out? 

NextGenNow

My first console was the N64, good times.  My first game was some random snowboarding game, I think it was called Snowboarder Kids or something like that. My first game that I bought was LoZ:OoT, and from then on, video games were my primary source of entertainment.

Xbox and Halo, the best game ever no one can beat it NO ONE!

lol jk, my first true system was the NES, I cant remember what exactly my first game was but a few of my favorites that I played all the time was the original mario of course along with the Ninja turtles and duck hunt.  I also rented paperboy a few times. :P

Im sure there was a whole lot more of the games I played but my memory sucks horribly so cant remember much other than I had a crappy black and white tv to play on for my first few years. 

nes - mario/duck hunt/track meet 

First system and game was Colecovision and The Smurfs.

Soon thereafter came the NES and Mario/Duck Hunt/ Track and Field....i love track and field because on the long jump I would just jump off and get max score....ahhh memories

I just found some sites on the Smurfs game.....MEMORIES
