Sorual 607 Posted May 2, 2014 Mine is kinda confusing. My first game was one of those all in one systems. I was born into the 6th generation but it wasn't really relevant until I got the gamebiy advance. I did get a ps2 but I played the game boy so much more. Believe it or not, the console that got me into HARDCORE gaming was THE WII! You know, that system that was intended for casuals!? I guess I was one of the few who gamed on it hardcore. What was your first generation? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hero of Winds 2,576 Posted May 2, 2014 I believe I was born into the Fourth Generation of gaming, but I started on the SNES. I believe that would be Third Gen. I dun pay attention to the generation stuff much. It's not that important to know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elrandir 783 Posted May 2, 2014 My first generation was this one! It's been almost, what? around 20 years, perhaps? In any case, that was my first gaming console. I remember playing Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda and I haven't stopped playing since then. I've been through a lot (if not all) of generations after the Nes, I had the Snes, N64, GC, Wii, PS, PS2, PS3, Gb (original), Gb pocket, Gb Color, Gb Advance, Gb SP, DS, 3DS. I have many happy memories thanks to them. 1 Sorual reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zola 3,038 Posted May 2, 2014 I'm fifth generation. My brother and I had to figure out the videogame thing by ourselves, so we were a bit late in the game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jilly Shears 2,144 Posted May 2, 2014 I was born in between the border of the 8bit / 16bit console generation era, and I was already introduced to games because my family had an NES and a Genesis anyway. As fun as that was, I only really count the 5th generation as my first because that's the first series where I really have strong memories of playing games. 2 Sorual and Zola reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoxSox 3,593 Posted May 2, 2014 Born into the 5th generation. Started playing 5th generation when the 6th generation came out. Started playing 6th generation as the 7th buillt up steam. Kept with the 6th until 2011 when I got the PS3, and I'm doing my best to keep up pace. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Omega Ness 112 Posted May 2, 2014 Uh. Uuuuhhhhh... My Generation is kinda confusing. I was born in 2000, so around at the end of the Fifth Generation Era. So, pretty, kinda old. (13) Thanks to my brother (I've said this story many times) my first game was Super Mario World. Despite the new consoles out, I was able to experience his games that he and others did at the same age I was. These games included Donkey Kong Country 1-3 (Which holds very true to my heart) Super Mario World (As previously stated) Yoshi's Island And my brother also had an N64. Believe me. I know how great it was to be born back then, and I'm glad I played those. I don't want to be a kid who only like Shooter-games, and says every thing else sucks. Because they don't. I'm happy for my brother. How could I forget being in like 2005, and playing Pokemon Yellow, on the Gameboy, and Silver on the Gameboy Colour, at that age? I tell you. Those retro systems, are great. I'm glad I'm the way I am. And I don't ever want to change. Call me the Retro-styled 13-year old. (Or whatever) I like a lot of modern games, actually (I classify modern as after 1999) with a retro feel, but also games that I...just like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Setrex 1,031 Posted May 2, 2014 I was born during the 4th Generation of video games but given that I'm the oldest of my siblings and was too young at the time to own any 4th Gen consoles, my first generation was the 5th with the original PlayStation.

Kaweebo 3,617 Posted May 2, 2014 I was born very late into the 5th Generation of consoles. My first console was a PS1 but not long after that I got the PS2, Xbox and Gamecube, so my childhood console cycle was mostly 6th Generation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaxtotheMax 193 Posted May 2, 2014 I don't know the generation, but I got a PSX and not much longer a Gameboy Advance SP and then I played my cousins PS2 when it released and I eventually got a GameCube so you can say I was all over the place between systems and companies plus I played my friends Xbox Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littleTSUBAME 483 Posted May 2, 2014 Well, uhh... I think it was sixth? Playstation 2 was my first console, although I had played with PS1 at my friend's place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
