I don't remember what it was, because I was too young to care about it other than that it had some cool game with crab-like monsters in a blue maze it wasn't Pac Man. Then my dad sold it I think. Edit: It was one of those keyboard-to-tv computers like the C64 and stuff. I have no idea what it actually was, though... 
When I was a kid I always wished my dad had kept it. And now I wish for it even more what with all this chiptune stuff that's going around.
Real first console would have to be the NES. First PC was Windows 3.something. Chips Challenge, Rodent's Revenge, Jezzball ftw!

In 1996, I got an IBM thinkpad laptop with windows 95 on it. I wish I still had it. My first console was the Sega Genesis, which I still have.
@Saskrotch - Beautiful MAC. I think Motorola MACs was nicer and with better design than todays...
@Laserbeat - ZX81 was nice. Very minimalistic games. There is soundcard for ZX81 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQjIO_K0QUM
@SketchMan3 - Hmm it wasnt C64 or Atari??? Maybe it was Apple2 or Tandy. Try to find, here is database:

@Basspuddle - Thinkpad was best in that times. Do you compose FM tunes on Genesis in TFM or VGMMM or DEFLE? {I have MD too}

We had a Dragon 32 when I was pretty little, maybe 5-6. i only really remember one game about an old Morris Minor that somehow got involved in an F1 race.

We got a C64 a couple of years later and this got ignored :(

My first console was a NES. My first computer... I have pretty much no idea what it was... my mom got it for taking some computer proficiency course in the early 90's. I do remember having to learn dos prompts and stuff to use it and everyone treating me like a child genius cause I could load up commanderkeen.exe without any help.
Atomic Purple CGB, 1998 or 99 I think. I kept it all the way up to 2010 but my little brother lost it.
game gear for me i think when they just came out..... before that i remember rocking bombjack and space harrier on my bro's ste
first console was the NES back in 87. got it with SMB/Duck Hunt and Mike Tyson's Punch Out. i didnt get my first computer til '94 i think. it was an hp, 75mhz, windows 3.11. it had a cd-rom drive and i remember being very impressed by the encyclopedia disc.
i learned ZX Basic on a spectrum :3 pretty damn amazing at the time. my father loved computers and we worked through 8086, 286, 386, 486, trading the last for the next, never having more than one computer at once... had an ST and a variety of Amigas, too. because of staying vaguely cutting edge on the PC front I didn't bother with home consoles for ages, only picking up a NES in the era of the Playstation. and as another consequence, all my favourite games are 90s DOS classics. never had or desired a gameboy, they are very useless indeed.

Looks beautiful that Dragon 32.
My first contact was... yep... OF COURSE the C=64 
I'm 22, and when I was 3 I started playing around with my mom's grey-brick DMG she had from college. Super Mario Land, Yoshi, Tetris, and Daedalian Opus. I never knew the "rules" of Tetris until I was about 12, though.
