What was your first ever games console as a kid?

Mine was the ZX Spectrum. The amount of fun me and my brother had on that. I loved it when the game would take 5-10 mins to load with all them beeps and static like noises.

My favourite games on that console were The Untouchables, The Rocky Horror Show and Donkey Kong.

Good times

Not strictly a games console but that is pretty much all anyone ever did with it. I was the same, though the fury true console I had was the Atari 2600 followed by the Sega Mastersystem II

Way longer than 10 mins!

You'd go away and come back to find it had crashed and had to start again!

Before that there was this tennis game that plugged into the tv, it was a bix with a knob on yoi twisted to go up and down, cant remember the name of it though

ZX Spectrum wasn't a games console, it was a personal computer. The difference being that the Spectrum was programable - I used to write programs on mine.

The first actual games console I owned I believe was a Sega Megadrive

Atari 2600 for me followed by an Atari 800xl home computer and a sega master system about a year and a half later.

And thus my life long gaming hobby was born.

The best part about this story is that my parents bless them, bought the atari 800xl home computer so I could "do my homework" on it. To this day i still wonder how i was supposed to do that in 1986 with no internet, printer, floppy drive etc etc etc but hey, I remember my Dad got cross when I played games on it.

Jokes on him though now. I'm the poor bugger doing all his IT support 35 years later so kinda paid off for him.

Zx spectrum was more the first home computer rather than a console as it could be programmed we had one and spent days writing games line by line as kids, now first console i ever played was the one with pong on it and first modern games console we had would have been the nes and saga master system, my favourite games would have been duck hint or golden axe.

Also loved centipede on the Atari console.

Not a games console.

Neiher was the Amstrad CPC-464 or the later CPC-664

Or the Commodore Vic 20 or the C64

Or the Dragon 32.

Though most if them were used to pkay games, tge big clue us tgat they had a keyboard, and did more than just games.

A ganes console will have a slot fir a games cartridge and a couple of controllers i.e. a dedicated games machine

Some moody one from the late 70s where the game consisted of 2 dots hitting another dog.

Then the zx spectrum where you waited 3 hrs to load a game and half the time it would crash at the last minute.

It was either an Atari 400, with the awful membrane keyboard, or an Intellivision console. I cannot remember which.

(Then Atari 800XL, Atari 520STFM (it had midi which I used), then Atari 1040STFM.

Also had Amiga A500, but never really liked it. Avoided the Spectrum too.)

The Binatone Master IV. We had one in the 1970s, had four games, tennis, squash, squash practice, and football. I discovered that if you moved the game selector slightly away from the football setting, one side had a third paddle appear just in behind the opposing side's "attacker", made it so much easier to defend.

My sister still has it, and it still worked about 10 years ago.

Ironically, when in my loft a couple of years ago, I found one of the original Commodore units, with the accompanying Cassette unit, leads to connect to a TV, an electrical lead too and a few games of the time.

I still have it boxed up, should see if it's worth anything. It still seems in very good condition. It must have been left by a previous owner, as I bought the house 29 years ago.

First console was a simple pong type affair.

Closely followed by a life changing Atari 2600
