My cousin gave me a Pong console. It had Pong and a couple of similar games built into the ROM. This was probably around 1980 or '81? A year or so later, my parents bought me an Atari 2600.

One of these, an Atari 2600 clone, I think I was 6. At the time things like this belonged to the whole family, not just me. That means 1981 or early 1982.

Amiga 500, around 1994 or 1995. I spent my entire childhood playing games on it. Never could find any resources to learn to do anything useful on it, though.

No access to those, I'm afraid. But I did have a floppy with State of the Art on it.

my first (personal) computer was an old HP Pavilion (6730, maybe?) me and my brother got when i was 5, loaded with Windows 98. resilient little monster - i deleted system32 thrice on the thing and played midtown madness and unreal tournament relentlessly when i wasn't doing that.
i want to say my first console was the N64, with Diddy Kong Racing, Mario Kart 64, Super Mario World, Ocarina of Time, and Mario Party 1, and still have the console, DKR, OOT and MP1 sitting in a box in my garage. to date, i've still never finished any of them. not even gotten CLOSE to finishing any of them...
excuse me while i go dig that N64 up. damn it, cm.o.

Graphite AGS-101 (GBA SP w/ backlight, not frontlight). Damn that thing was awesome. Had a dead pixel fixed on green. That was back when I was 7/8.
