Personal
My family's first video game console was a used Atari 2600 with a bunch of games which my parents got at a garage sale around 1985. In 1988, my brother and I pooled our money to buy a Nintendo Entertainment System. In 1992, I received a Super Nintendo Entertainment System as a Christmas present. That was the last system I bought while they were still being sold. I have bought a couple other consoles used, but I almost never use them and prefer to game on my computer using emulators.
