What was the first game console you ever had?

lol - a commodore 16, big clunky thang with a tape deck that you used to load the games. you'd have to turn it over halfway, and it'd take forever to load...

The C-16 was an ill-fated and quite rare computer, actually. You don't happen to still have it, do you? It would be worth a bit now.

First console we ever *owned* was sort of interesting: a Coleco Gemini. It was an Atari 2600/VCS clone created without the consent of Atari, after Coleco successfully defended against a lawsuit over their expansion module for the Colecovision that allowed it to play 2600 games.

Currently I own the following consoles:

• Magnavox Odyssey (first home gaming system)
• Atari 7800
• 2x Nintendo Entertainment System
• 2x Sega Genesis
• Sega CD
• Sega 32X
• Super Nintendo
• NEC TurboGrafx-16
• Sega Saturn
• Sony Playstation
• Nintendo 64
• Sega Dreamcast
• XBox
• Playstation 2
• Nintendo Virtual Boy
• Gameboy Color
• Sega Nomad (a portable version of the Genesis)

Old computers I own

• Commodore 64 + 1541 floppy drive
• Amiga 600

I bet I forgot something, but that's pretty close to my whole collection.
