What was your first handheld gaming system? Was an Atari lynx? or are you wanting to start with 3ds or vita?

Mine was the gameboy color I thought it was amazing when I first got it. I played warioland 2 non stop.

The Sega GameGear, as impressive as the tech was its size and battery-life were a pretty big hassle. Eventually I got a Gameboy Color.

The Gameboy was my first handheld. Tetris and Pokemon Blue were my favorite games.

Sega Game Gear with FM radio and tv tuner plus Line-In for hooking up camcorders or VCRs. Awesome gizmo at the time (mid-90's).

Old-fashioned gray brick GameBoy. Super Mario Land, Zelda: Link's Awakening among my first games. Then I moved on to Pokemon and SaGa (aka Final Fantasy Legends)

Gameboy color was my first. And I still have it somewhere in my room.

I still remember my parents driving me to Toys 'R' Us to get it and Pokemon Blue. Ahh good times...

Mine was this foreign rip off of the Gameboy Color (it still works!). Back then I was just a little kid so I didn't know about brands or whatever, so all that mattered was that I could play games on it.

Same. The gamegear was a really lousy system. I remember being pretty letdown. 1. It was HUGE. 2. The battery life was terrible and it required something crazy like 8 AA batteries, at a point in time where rechargeable batteries were very expensive. 3. Yes it had a color screen but the screen itself was rather lousy with a terrible backlight.

Eventually I got a Gameboy, but I think it was the Pocket first, and then the color. I remember how awesome I thought the gameboy bocket was because of its size. I used to play Zelda in school all the time.

A blue Gameboy Pocket. My neighbor and I spent every waking hour playing Pokemon Red and Blue. Hell, I even remember sneaking my Gameboy into class so I could play while I was supposed to be doing my work.

Think it was the GBA, I was never really that excited over game boys and my parents wouldn't buy me them anyway.

Gameboy Advance Platinum. Some games were hidden gems, the prime example was Wario Land 4.

Gameboy Color. A friend gave it to me, I was so excited... I then got an original Gameboy a few months later from my cousin. It was great since my parents didn't buy me video games and I was pretty young. Handheld gaming is something I'll always love...

My friend gave me his old GBA in 2008. I'm picking up a 3DS this holiday season, assuming nothing catastrophic happens at the Nintendo September 13th conference.

My first Handheld was the GameBoy (the big fat grey one). I spent my whole life in front of the little screen :)

Pokemon, Super Mario and Wario Land were my favorites!

Aaah..good old times!
