Mine was a Binatone TV Master Mk6. There were dozens of these type of machines in the '70s.

I had that too.

Only had pong, no guns or cool stuff from the time.

I remember playing an Atari when I was young (mid-late 80s), but never actually owned it... Must have been one of my brothers' friends consoles... I believe the original NES was the first our family had... Also had SNES as well.. Also remember playing on a Sega, but didn't belong to us... Played the original Sony Playstation, N64... Remember using the "Powerglove" for Nintendo back in the day... Also used the "Virtual Boy" system in the mid 90s... I think starting in the mid to late 90s though, my attention shifted to computer games, and after that, I never much cared for console gaming... Not that I was ever good in the first place, but u know... :-p

Oh, and my family also owned the original GameBoy...

the original xbox, PS3, Xbox 360 Kinect.

Technically not a console but the first gaming machine I had was the original ZX Spectrum

My first actual games console was the SNES I think.

[thomastmc]

NES... Probably 5th grade.

Two vivid memories...

Waking up to beat Zelda for the first time at 5 Am one morning before school.

And...

I found a way on Zelda II to get a sword that had a strange symbol/distortion across it in the indicator that would kill any enemy with one hit, even bosses. It was found by accident, and had to do with the contacts of the cartridge sitting in an odd way with the contacts in the console's bay.

Still never beat the game though. The path up to Gannon's castle was a bitch.

[AlphaPrime]

Played a fair bit of NES, but we didn't actually own one until SNES.
