5th gen aparantly! I was born a couple of months after the Sega Saturn came to the NA, that's kind of cool to know.

Edit: Oops, read the list wrong, I was born closer to the release of the Atari Jaguar.

I was born in 94, my first console system was the original X-Box. I recall having a NES for a short time as a hand me down from my dad's friend but it was broken. I wish I could go back in time and make myself keep it because it could of probably been fixed.

I was more into handhelds, my first video game system was the original Gameboy, I had that when people at school had the Gameboy color which was also handed down to me from my uncle. The first time playing yellow on a Gameboy Advance was a magical experience.

I'm from the Master System era, but got in late into the game so my first machine was actually a Megadrive

I was born 6 days after the SNES was released in Japan, and sure enough, ALttP and SMAS were the first games I ever played, at a schoolmate's house. The first one I ever owned was a Game Boy, which I was also born into.

Fairly certain I was born in the SNES era though I never really touched a video game until the N64 and Game Boy Color era.

I was born a few years into the second generation, but since my older sister wouldn't let me touch her Atari 2600 I was solely an arcade gamer until the third gen.

'95, First console experience was my dad had a PS1 that he let us play as kids. I managed to get a cheap Megadrive at some type of carboot sale thing, but it was already "old"/outdated then.

I was born during the 5th generation of gaming with the peak of the Playstation 1 in 1998. I got to experience the 6th generation of gaming with the PS2, and I think the PS2 is the best console ever made because of the quantity of games.

I was born in late 1995, so I came out between the SNES (1990) and the and the Nintendo 64 came out (1996). I guess the two closest consoles which would have came out when I was born would be the PS1 (1994) and the Nintendo 64 (1996). This totally makes sense because my first videogame console was the Nintendo 64. I have fond memories of playing Pokemon Stadium 1 when I was really young.
