NES, which I got bored of very quickly for two main reasons:

The games were difficult and had usually no concept of saved state
The games were expensive, and my parents didn't buy me many

So I switched to computer games as soon as I could, which gave me games with far more depth and save-ability, and where I could also shamelessly "copy that floppy" to overcome the availability problem.

(And I've never looked back. Even to this day, I basically refuse to be a console gamer.)

I played an Atari and an Intellivision, but my first system was a ColecoVision. I loved Smurfs and Venture. Then the NES for Christmas 85

Atari 2600, even got the parents into gaming, and we had almost every system after.

First was the Atari 2600. Got it for my 7th birthday. Then got a Commodore 64 after that. Saved up and bought a SNES after that because of Street Fighter II. Then it's been PS1, Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox, Gamecube and pretty much everything else since then.

I have bought an NES, Mega Drive/Genesis, Saturn, N64, 3DO and a PC Engine to fill in some of the gaps as I've gotten older.

I’m unsure if we had our commodore or the Atari 2600 first. Grew up to be a big time video game nerd. Have owned 2600, 5200, nes, gameboy, super nes, genesis/32x, game gear, Sega CD, Jaguar, virtual boy, N64, PS1-5, Dreamcast, Saturn, and an Xbox 360 as far as consoles go.

My first was a Magnavox Odyssey^(2)

I owned the usual Atari 2600, and NES along with the Commodore Vic-20, 64 and 128.

Never had a 16 bit console as I saved up and bought a Jaguar in 93 and both of the good games for it. That was my last console as I have been a PC gamer ever since.
