Age you were when you owned your first console

I was about 5 or so.  I remember going to my friend's house and walking around the corner into their living room.  There on the TV in all it's glory was Super Mario Bros.  I was amazed.  Then I got a chance to try it out and, well, 25 years later here I am.  My parents did have an Atari 2600 that I dabbled with but it didn't "hook" me like the NES did.  I ended up begging and begging for one and my parents got me one for Christmas that year.  

I was 2 when I got some random, fake console, that had mario and some other games in it. It was fake, but man, that shit was awesome. I also got a PC when I was 3, and I used it for playing games ever since, beside my PS3.

I was 12 when I got my first pong system back in '76 I do believe. 

My father was a gamer (he stopped with the NES), so I was gaming as soon as I could hold a controller (2 years old).

I was 5 when I played my first video game at my cousin's house- Playstation 1, original spyro. Loved it so much, I got the same game and console for my 6th birthday.

6 - NES.  I remember the day we got it, I snuck upstairs to play early and got in trouble.  I was so excited.

Frankly it's like a pre-rational interest, so that might help justify all the time I've spent playing since.

6, Sega Genesis. It was my birthday present. It's the best gift I ever received.

I got a PS1 on my 6th birthday!

Dad bought me a Genesis when I was around 6 and got my bro a Snes. We had a NES before that though.

probally a NES when i was 3 or 4. my brother was little older and already had the atari 7800

I received an Atari 2600 when I graduated High School at 17. Well the Sears version of the 2600, but it worked the same. I stayed awake 2 days straight playing that thing. It was the start of a serious video game addiction.

I was probably 5/6 when my father bought me and my brother a Videopac G7000 (european version of the Magnavox Odyssey2).

This baby...

Not really, the controllers were black

About 3 with the Sega MegaDrive.

Oh, good times.
