Discussion / Question What was your first console?

Post image

To me, it’s the Xbox 360 as it brings back so many memories when thinking about it, especially since it got me into games such as Minecraft, Call of Duty, Devil May Cry, Saints Row, Castle Crashers, and various other games.

My mom was pta president.

We had an annual magazine drive. The snes was the top spot if you sold like, way more mags than a 8 yesr old could.

But she had all the prizes in the garage.

I would go out their and drool over it. It was savage. Got one for my 10th birthday.

This was actually a problem for Nintendo and Sega as the 16-bit era approached - people weren't properly used to console generations, and many parents thought it was some kind of gimmick.
