What was the first video game and/or system that you played?

My first game system was Atari. We had Tetris and donkey kong. We played it on an old small black and white tv. Those were the days!

I think my first game was PAC-MAN

It wasn't the sega genesis, but the one before that. I believe it was the sega master system, it had a wooden casing and the gameboxes were white. Ahh...to be a kid again.

First system I played was my parent's Atari...  And there were a few games on the Commodore 64 also, but Atari was first for me.  I think River Raid may have actually been my first game.

I played Atari when I was nice and young.  I was still pretty young when the original Nintendo came out.  For me the video games got worse with each system that came out.  My favorite video game system ever is the Super Nintendo.

I am not a spring chicken but I have a little age so my memory of the first game game console that I ever used was "Atari". I still have it and it does work. It is so slow and I think it's almost more difficult to play now then it was before. Now I am so used to objects on the screen moving so fast, moving in different directions and of course with better soundtracks too. I still love the old "Atari" games for sure though. I especially loved to play the games that had over 30 games in one cartridge, those were the bomb. Then I received Sega and the list just goes on from there!

The first video game system I played was an old Intellivision from the 80's.  My parents bought one when they were married and still had it by the time the Nintendo craze started when my sister and I were a bit older.  This managed to appease us until one of our cousins got the Nintendo and we begged for one until our parents bought it.  The first game I played on it was Super Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt.

Atari 400. First computer as well. Use to use it for word processing and programming. No spell checker or internet though.

Atari was the first system I remember playing.  In the 90's my son played Nintendo and the early Mario games before the 3D ones and I still remember that annoying music I had to listen to.

Probably over 10 years ago when my brothers were living at home, I'd play the nintendo game system, I think (we had the duck shooting game, Xena, Mortal Combat & some others).
