What was the very first console you owned and first video game you played?

Sega Genesis/Mega Drive was my first console. I was 2 years old playing the Sega 6 pack which had Sonic, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Revenge of Shinobi, Columns, and Super Hang on. I can't say for sure which of those was the first game I ever played but if I had to venture a guess it was probably Sonic. Still a Sega weirdo by heart to this day.

Maybe you already answered this question but, Define owned. I only ask because my father owned a Nintendo 64, and I played space invaders alot the few times I visited. The first system I was gifted was a ps1, and the first game I played on that was the GTA precursor. Open city were you could be either good or bad. Didn't really like it much. And the first system i bought for myself was the ps3, and the first game I played on that was heavenly blade, which I found incredibly fun, if not linear.

The first ever gaming console that I owned was a Nintendo DS, and I loved the hell out of it. I also enjoyed the fact that I could insert GBA cartridges in it. The game it came with was a Mario Kart and I remember being horrible at it! But other than that, the first ever gaming console that I played was a PS2 or maybe the GameCube; my Dad often woke me up late at night just to play with him or watch him play. Up to this day we still play together!,

Gameboy Advance with Pokemon Firered (Both are still working). Loved firered but having no backlight was/is just painful. Especially compared to smartphones with good screens.

I had a GBA with Pokemon Yellow. I didn't have the nostalgia of picking a starter because I got Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur all in game.

Gameboy Color.. With Link's Awakening DX,Then at age 4 PS2 was my first very console.. Had Crash,Spyro,PacMan World 2 yet used to played Namco Museum many times as a kid. Then DS came...Super Princess Peach was one of my first games back then... Last year played it a lot and almost finished the whole game.. Good times.

Had both an NES and SNES but I mostly remember playing a lot of Super Mario World and Street Fighter 2 (not sure which version).

That's hard to remember, but the first game I ever played (I think) was Street Fighter Alpha 2 on the SNES. Either that or Marvel VS Capcom on PS1. The first console I ever actually OWNED though was a 360 (was all over Street Fighter 4 and a bunch of others) since my brothers owned all of the consoles we had growing up.
