My first handheld was a GBA and pokemon crystal.

My first console was a NES and Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt (2in1). It was $10 in a thrift store, new old stock, no box or manuals, water damage probably.

EDIT: Oh wait best game, not first. I screwed up.

Best handheld game: Call of Duty 4, DS
Best console game: Goldeneye 007, N64

Gameboy Color was my first handheld, best game by far being Pokémon Gold/Silver.

N64 was my first console, and there's too many awesome games to choose from! :lol:

TI Invaders on TI-99/4a

makes me sound older than i am lol

First game purchased was Super Mario 3 from Toys R Us. We borrowed an NES from my dads friend for about 6 years or so (later he moved away and wanted it back). Back then you took a slip up to the register and after you pay you go to a vault where they keep all the games to pick it up.

First system I ever bought was snes from walmart (super mario world/all stars pack in $126.88), split the cost with my sister.

First system was a Pong/Tennis/Badminton clone way-way back in the (very) early 80's. First 'proper' console was a Master System and my favourite game probably Shinobi or R-Type.

The first console I got was a SNES

I had:
Alaadin
Batman and Robin
Street Fighter (I forgot what it was called though)

The first console I bought with my own money was a Xbox 360


My first handheld was a Gameboy Color which is still in really good condition

My games:

Pokemon Blue and Yellow
Wario Land 3 (best handheld game I've played)
Ms.Pacman
Rugrats Time Travelers (hated it)
I haven't been here in awhile, and looking back it's one of the worst ideas I ever had. I'm back and I'll be here for awhile, I was quite active 1 year ago and I hope to become that again.

Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link was really underrated. Play a rom of it, save frequently. It's really fun.

I'll be honest: I couldn't stand that game. I like a challenge, but not something that makes me pull my hair out trying to get to the second temple...

Agreed. That's why I used the save state function. It's fun then. Still a challenge, too.
