When was your very first game or game console, and what was it?
My first game was Super Mario 64. Obviously, that means the N64 was my first console. My first handheld was the Game Boy Color, but I forget what my first game for that was. I forget when I got my GBC, but I got my N64 when I was 3 or 4, I think.
You may also discuss your other firsts in gaming.
First game was Doom, though I didn't pick up a system till the Genesis.
NES with the combo SMB/Duck Hunt game damn that was awesome! I still hate that dog haha
My first system and game was the SNES and Donkey Kong Country. I STILL play that game.
My Dad had a NES with a bunch of games. My first that was really mine was a Genesis, with a giant box full of games.
Michael Jackson's Moonwalker ftw.

Mine was this Grandstand self contained game "Scramble" in the 80's. I couldn't tell you how long I spent on it as a child but it was probably quite a lot. It was very minimal but at the time I thought it was amazing :)

After that I got a Nintendo Donkey Kong Game and Watch which was equally absorbing. I still have them somewhere.
My first machine that could play multiple games was an Acorn Electron computer which I needed for "educational" purposes. Needless to say, it got used for games and the occasional typing up of programs from Electron User magazine which more ofter than not, didn't work.
My memory only goes as far as Double Dragon :3
My earliest memory of playing a game was taking turns playing Donkey Kong Jr. with my mother on the 2600 when I was about 3/4 (it was 1990). She and my father had the thing already for a few years and would play it with friends (big projection TVs, old pinball machines, jukebox, 2600 fit right in).
The first that was all mine was the Apple IIc I got a year or two later.
This first for me was a nes and a ton of games that my grandmother just gave to me.
My first console was the NES with Mario bros 1/duck hunt cartridge.
