22 here. 13 year old brat when online hahaha!
"My" first console was an early Famicom that my godfather brought home from Japan. I put quotation marks on My since eventhough it was for ME, my father and his friends got to play it more that I did. Not really bothered then since I played alot in the streets then lol...
Kinda sad gamer story my father has, since he started playing pinball games at the arcades, got hooked on the Famicom, played with me on the SNES then he bought me my other consoles til PSX. He provided me with my console gaming needs lol... but sadly, just recently, he told me to "grow up" when I bought my 4th DS and that I'm too old for games now. It's kinda ironic and sad really. I hope he was just kinda bothered with me buying alot of DSs... :/ (He got me a PSP last Christmas though.)
Anyway, I'm still a gamer since all of my sisters are gamers, alot of my relatives are gamers, all of my friends are gamers. My parents still play video games too but not really into serious hardcore gaming. (I was thinking of getting them DSs but I think I'll end up keeping them for myself...)
I still have shitload of consoles I bought though I have less and less time to play them that's why I usually buy just DS games (and pirate PSP games).
Oh and the DS "cured" me from my WoW addiction... and by cured I mean like taking methadone instead of heroin lol...
EDIT: Oh if we're listing consoles... ;-; Famicom, PC Engine, SNES/SFC (I ended up with both :/), Sega Saturn, PSX, Dreamcast, PS2, GCN, NG AES (just got it last year
)
handhelds:
All GB incarnations + Game Gear, NGP(+Color), Wonderswan / SwanCrystal, PSP, NDS, NDSL + Game&Watch if you count those lol (I love handhelds
I'm wishing I have a GP2X, PCE GT and a Sega Nomad... as for consoles I wish I didn't skip out on the N64)
