What was your First Game Console?

Do you still have it, or use any other really old one? The oldest thing I have is the First Gameboy and it still works. Played Donkey Kong the other day. Housemate looked at me as if I was mad.

It was exactly that. It was also incredibly rotten, even by the standards of the time. Oddly, responsible for two massive gaming powerhouses as a result. SFII obv, and some of the guys from Street Fighter went on to develop some of SNK's premier fighters, like an alternate land of sequels. I mean, really though, who looked at SFI and thought it needed a sequel? Even with the gimmick of its arcade cabinet, it didn't prove all that successful. I'm probably pissing on someone's fond memories, but SFI is gimped out and only half-playable on a good day.

Interton VC-4000. 1982 IIRC. Loved it for about a year.Golf,Soccer and their version of Space Invaders being particular favourites. Then the Spectrum 48k came along and that was the end of that.
