    Sega's Master System, then a MegaDrive few years later - so I voted for that instead.

    Playstation 1, and the first game I ever played was Crash Bandicoot 3. I remember it well, I remember being absolutely fascinated at the technology, I'd never seen anything like it before.

    ps1 and gameboy at about the same time not sure which actually came first. there was a sega megadrive at my nannas before we got that for home which all of her grandchildren could play on when they visited but I don't think that counts as me having it.

    I had a sega megadrive after that too. Then it was a N64. Then a PS1. Then a Gameboy colour and then a gameboy advance. Then Xbox. Then PS2. Then PSP. Then I kind of stopped playing video games slowly.

    I still have the PS2 and PSP. I'm going to sell the PSP and buy a atari or sega megadrive.

    I voted SNES, but really I had a NES which my cousin passed down to me almost 2 decades afters its release. The first console my parents actually bought me was a Game Boy Colour. Another cousin then gave me his PS1 after the PS2s release and then my parents bought me an Xbox circa 05. These days though, I have a PS3. As a consequence of getting consoles very late in their cycles though, I've always mainly been gaming on PC .
