What was your first gaming system?

@SwampCreature I believe my first system was a Colecovision! My mother introduced me to gaming, usually with simple titles that I could play with her or watch along.

I have a great love for some of the old titles like LadyBug, Carnival, Loopin', and Time Pilot. Also? That FONT. I don't know what it is... it's so humble and it just makes me happy.

Lets Jive.

I love Spyro and Pokemon red/blue/green though there is a special place in my heart for pokemon yellow. I

I used Lets' Go Eevee to introduce my kids to the world of pokemon. It's the best because I know all the pokemon and the game, so i am SO COOL.

Oh I forgot I also had Aladdin and Toy Story. You are right they were so damn hard for no reason! Obviously the trauma of playing them has erased the experience from my mind. I vaguely remember cobras and someone throwing apples. Funny thing is I still have my genesis downstairs and I should totally break it out.

K.O.

Sega Genesis! It came with Sonic 2, and I played that game to death. I also loved Pocahontas, The Lion King, and Sonic and Knuckles. I only ever played the beginning levels of Ecco over and over because the game scared me so much. Primal Rage was another good one, still one of my favorite fighting games. I also had James Pond 2??? Never played the first one, but had the second. I still remember that the code to skip levels in Aladdin is A B B A A B B A, thanks brain. Definitely needed that information stored for the last 25 years.

I went to a garage sale maybe 15 years ago, and someone sold me like thirty Sega games for $15 or $20 bucks, I was ecstatic. I still have my original Genesis with OG controllers, and it still works, which is pretty impressive.

@SerasStreams I hate that I still get excited about pokemon lol. Like I don't follow the new stuff, I pretty much checked out after they went over 251 (I always count Mew) for games, cards, etc. But I was really tempted to buy the newest Cards Against Pokemon expansion lol.

@mianngu yep! At least in the 64' version, you will get the little guy with the sign following you around the whole time though.
