What was your first gaming system?

I'm sure there are older gamers out there, but I wanted to see how far back some of us went, when we first got hooked into gaming.

For me, this is what I first started with.



I remember it taking 5 minutes to load up a game in the tape recorder

I started with the same machine. Subscribed to Amstrad weekly and received games in each issue lol The loadup noise was quite funny too still remember it. OH Mummy was an awsome game!

[Doowi]

HAHA yeah I still remember the noise it made

I even had the code book, where you could manually enter code to get the system to make patterns and make the screen change colours xD

Yeah my first proper console was the Sega Master System as well. I've heard every single handheld/console that's been created xD ... well apart from the DS and Vita.

Oh gosh, my household has only owned:
SMS, Playstation, Gameboy Colour, Playstation 2, Xbox 360, DS, Wii

Yeah i still have it plus manual plus a case full of games lol itll be an antique longggg after my time. I still remember the three keys to press to get the load to begin and how the vented monitor heated up so badly at top

VIC 20 and then a big update ZX Spectrum. Oh god I remember telling my friends that this was the future of gaming and then pushing the game boy. What kind of junkie Am I.

Started way back in the 60's here. We use to play Star Trek and ICBM during down time on a Control Data Corp (CDC) 6500 computer using hex based key inputs and a CDC 120 binary key computer to load the info into the 6500.
