Atari and Colecovision for the win. As much as I like vidja games, I still enjoy a good game of pinball.

According to Wikipedia, I began in the fifth generation with a cool, blue, special Pikachu-Edition N64 and a broken, green Gameboy Pocket. Thank you, Nintendo.

I was on and off since the 3rd generation until the N64 in the 5th generation. I stuck to Nintendo until the seventh generation, when I went all-out with the 360 and the PS3.

I started gaming in 91 so that makes it the 3rd gen. Considering I was born in 88 that's pretty damn good :D

technically i started in the second generation. i went from atari 2600 to NES to Xbox 1 to 360. so i kinda skipped a few generations.

I was born in 92. My brothers were gaming on the NES and got me into it. Then we got the SNES. Then both N64 and PS1. Then I went Gamecube.:( Only...Gamecube. But now I got my 360 and a Wii.

I started pretty early on an NEC Powermate system when i was 5 in 91', playing Breakout and Pong as my first two games, but i didn't actually get a console till much later in the year 2000 when i was 14 yrs old and got a PS1. A PS 2 2 years later with FFX and MGS2; now i'm back to DIY PC gaming.

1st Gen. My parents had Pong, that's where it started for me. After that I was hooked and on and on it went from the TRS80 Radio Shack computer, to the 2600, through many consoles and computers to the 360. Wild. I should have kept it. Damn!
