I grew up in a very poor family that could barely afford the essentials, so I didn't start gaming until later in life then most people my age, my first console was a Play Station One.

I am a 3rd generation guy. Used to love Donkey Kong and Mario!

Life is best for those who enjoy it, difficult for those who analyze it and worst for those who criticize it.

Lists were appended due to space limitations. The rhyme in the poll question is unintentional.

would Atari 2600 be considered 2ndGen or 3rdGen?

What kind of Amiga? Commodore was light years ahead of everyone else in the PC world in the 80s.

Little yellow cassettes? Do you mean the 32X?

@dhamps: I wish I could remember. I got rid of it long time ago. I had to connect it to the TV and put in a diskette in order to play something.

@HG: I don't know since I was like 4-5 years old. I know there were games like Super Mario and Battle City on it. Some cassettes had only one game on it and couple of them had whole lists of games.
