What was your first console?

I still have my original PS2, too. Those things were built to last. Most of my friends still have their original PS2 as well and actively use it.

My experience with PS2s haven't been that good. I had a fat PS2 and had to throw it away because it stopped being able to read discs. (This was long before there was a softmod available to load games off of a hard drive.)

PS2 was the first thing I actively played on. The first thing I ever bought for myself that wasn’t a gift was a DS Lite, I saved up all my lawn mowing money over the summer for one of them along with Animal Crossing Wild World. Truly simpler times.

RE4 was my game. I just recently replayed the PS4 remaster and it still holds up. Perfect blend of action and horror. That level where you are in the sewer and all the enemies are invisible still rocked my shit. My favorite gaming memory from the PS2 era was definitely playing Vice City with all my cousins. We would spend hours listening to the awesome soundtrack and just getting into the most ridiculous situations.

I had a lot of trouble with my fat PS2 as well. I had to get rid of it and got the slim model. That's the one I still have.

At parties as a teenager we would just play whoever had Vice City / GTA3 and fuck around killing pigs with a tank.

Playstation 1, I really don't remember much about it other than my 4 year old self couldn't understand how to put the discs back in the cases so they'd be all over the room.

N64. First game was Diddy Kong Racing. Still have it and all my original games to this day, and still play it. That's Nintendium for you.

Atari VCS when it was the new hotness. Spent so long playing Pong and Kaboom on that thing the motions for that paddle controller are probably still burned into my muscle memory 40 years later.

You're supposed to hold down the power button to turn it off instead of just flipping the switch; that's why fat PS2s were so "prone" to breaking. Though my SCPH-70001 has a disc read issue in that it usually can't read the disc's region code at bootup, but once in-game it reads them just as well as the SCPH-75001 I got used at GameStop in 2008. Would probably work fine if I installed a modchip in it because it bypasses the region check.

I never flipped the switch off at the back of the unit, I always used the front switch to switch it off, usually leaving the game in. If I wanted to play a different game I'd tap the switch that opened the disc drive while the SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT intro with the squares was loading.

Ps2 I loved the shit of the console remember having memories playing gta sa,re4,007 nightfire,and so much more
 
When I was 2, my mom gave me a NES to play with. Back then my grandparents from my dad's side had an Atari2600 with Pacman and Pitfall. On their NES they had Q*Bert. The NES collection I had back then was pretty big. But once I got a Sega Genesis, I became a Sega fan. Aside from the Sonic games, the other one I would play constantly is Street Fighter 2 Special Champion Edition and then Super Street Fighter 2 The New Challengers later on.
