Memory time!
First console was a play station, when I was 3 I broke my arm after taking a dramatic fall from my scooter, so all I could do all day was eat chip sandwiches, watch monsters Inc and play my dad's video games. My favourite was this one called dogs life, you had to wander around as this dog, collecting bones and befriending other dogs in competitions to help save your dog girlfriend Daisy. It was pretty hardcore.
Since then I've loved all video games of all shapes and sizes, I love playing them with my cousins and dad up to like 3am, and the nostalgic smell of unwrapping new video games, it all originated from those happy days, except when I actually destroyed my arm... that was less happy. Ever since I've loved video games in all shapes and forms :)

The Nintendo 64 was my first console, it came with Glover and I believe it was a bundle, although I don't exactly remember since it was so long ago :P

I think what got me into gaming in general was Hey you Pikachu and Pokemon Stadium 2. I just loved those games so much back then, they basically are the main reason I still love Pokemon (:

For me, it was Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Genesis (Mega Drive). Considering the game's nearly as old as I am, it still holds up really well, and I'd consider it my favorite game of all time. Heck, I've owned a version of it on at least 3 separate consoles (original + PS2 & DS), and I still play it at least once a month on the computer, too.

I believe for me it was the NES - and the first game I played (I think I was about 4 years old) was Mario and the Duck Hunting one (I forgot the title of the game).

I grew up a handheld console kid - mainly because we only had one TV and my parents liked to watch TV.

Anyway, my first console was the GameBoy Color (the purple-clear one!) and I bought it with the game Pokemon Red. :)
The first game I ever player was Super Mario Bros. on the NES. (Because what else?)
Believe It or not at the time my favorite game was Deadly Towers, yeah probably the most universally hated game was my favorite game, and I was good at it too, I was only 5 years old and I've actually gotten as far a the devil's staircase. Good job If you even know what that is...

Walking down the path I know. Banning Pokémon just because you don't know how to beat them is just plain wrong. It's like banning alcohol because it makes ugly people pretty.

The good old PS1 with Crash Bandicoot. It was what introduced me to video gaming, and I can still never get past certain levels on that game in general lol.
Gone forever for personal reasons.

I had a Gamecube, Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo, DS and GBA, however I'd say the PS3 with Mw2 really got me into gaming, because I started putting a lot more time into it and started doing a lot more online things with it that helped me progress to where I am today.

It was my uncle's Gameboy colour and Pokemon Blue that got me into gaming. I hadn't seen anything like it at the time, a whole world in the palm of your hands. I was immediately hooked to the thing, constantly asking him if I could borrow it (although to this day I have never actually beaten Pokemon blue).

My gameboy Advance with a Mario game is what introduced me to gaming. Kingdom Hearts for the PS2 is what got me really into gaming. But I didn't start exploring new types of games until I got my 3DS in 2012. :3

The Nintendo 64 was what got me into gaming, when I used to watch my two brothers play Banjo-Kazooie, Super Smash Bros. and Ocarina of Time. :3
Sooner or later I joined in and haven't stopped gaming since.

Gotta love those nostalgic moments. <3
I forget how emotions dance when they aren't inside of me
I forget how the sun feels when she isn't around me
And my dreams become sweeter when something is missing
I'm in love with the hunt itself
It makes me feel alive

The earliest console I remember having is the N64 and Ocarina of Time was the one of the very first games I ever got for the system, along with Pokemon Stadium. So I guess I would consider those my roots, but Playstation was the one that catapulted me into actually playing video games as a hobby. Otherwise I'd be out and about spending money shopping like a normal girl XD
