Idk what it's called but it was a nintendo thingy that was my uncles or something

The original NES, despite being born in the early 90s . Guess being poor back the. had it’s occasional perks . My aunt had an SNES, which she later gave to me as she didn’t have kids back then . That thing was the catalyst as my life as a gamer, as the NES broke not long after

The original NES, but the oldest console I grew up with was the Sega Game Gear.

The oldest video game console I own (and played) is an Atari 2600. My older brother's co-worker gave it to him, and then gave it to me when he came home that day. It came with a bunch of games (around 40ish), two controllers, and a broken AC adapter. I bought a new AC adapter and a capacitor kit from Console5 to give it a new lease on life, I also modified it to output Composite video to make it easier to connect to my TVs (plus the RF modulator inside the unit was busted).

Prior to that, the oldest console I owned/played was an original front-loader NES, which I still have.

The oldest (and first) console game we owned as a Coleco Telstar.  It had different versions of a Pong-type game, and could be set up for two player play.

I currently have a Super Famicom that I bought from Japan and that’s my oldest. 
 

Handheld wise, my oldest is a Sega Game Gear

[SidewinderX 205]

Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). My favorite games were probably Tecmo Super Bowl and Castlevania. I actually still have it lying around somewhere, just haven't found time to actually use it in a while.

[Iforgotmybrain 7,957]

My answer for both is the original Game Boy.

[Snoopy Fan 13,660]

For me, it would have to be the Game Boy Advance.

[Misty Shadow 8,298]

The NES. Oh man, I had such good times playing so many games on that thing before it was sadly stolen in that robbery on my old house. 

[ExplosionMare 27,292]

Not sure which came first, but I have the Gameboy Advance and the GameCube.

[DubWolf 20,361]

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System, or SNES for short. I believe my dad had it and I played on it when I was a kid. I wasn't too bad at Super Mario World . I think I was 4 or 5 when I played it. I forget what age I actually beat it at but I was definitely young.... maybe it wasn't until later.
