   The Nintendo 64. Donkey Kong was my favorite. Using the theme song, my brother and I memorized Bible verses.

      The N64 was a great console.  Mario 64, Goldeneye, WaveRace 64.  Great games.

   I have fond memories of an Atari 2600 Jr. that I got as a gift. Other kids had NES and Sega Master System consoles, but we couldn't afford that - so, I was happy with my Atari. The rest of the world had moved on to SNES and Megadrive by the time my Atari stopped working, if I remember right - though, I didn't actually get another console until the N64.

      Great system as well.  Who can forget Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and my favorite 2600 game Adventure.  Berzerk was another game I liked.  It is funny because looking back those games were extremely repetitive.  At the time we loved them though.

   I had an Atari. I think I got it when I was about 5 years old. I loved playing Pitfall. I believe that was the first video game console made. Are there any older than Atari?

      There was a console known as the Odyssey that preceded the 2600 but it was not nearly as popular.

      The NES is the console that really took gaming to a new level.  Games were no longer about seeing how many times you could repeat the same level and became more about story telling and exploration.  Love the NES.

   The SNES - with Super Mario Bros and Starwing (Starfox in US, I believe).

      SNES was a great console as well. Probably my favorite games on it were Tecmo Super Baseball and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

   The first PlayStation console shortly after it was released. I got it for Christmas when I was about 7 along with PacMan Worlds, Rayman, and Spyro the Dragon Fond memories indeed!

      I remember my brother-in-law rented an imported Playstation and some games before the US release.  It was quite impressive for the time.
