NES for Christmas 88, with Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt, Baseball, Gotcha!, Hogan's Alley. I don't remember if we got Zelda 2 in 1988 or the next year in 89.
Then we got a 190-in-1 cart and that was it, whenever we wanted a new game, my parents would say "You got a 190 games! That's enough!"

haha nice, but how many of those 190 were just clones of each other?
Don't know how I missed this topic the first time around. Lotta great nostalgia feels in here.
August 1989 I received the NES for my birthday as a combined gift from my grandma and my aunt (mom and dad refused to buy videogames previously). I got Super Mario/Duck Hunt and SMB 3. I still play that NES and have all of my original games most CIB.

This one wasn't that bad, you had 100 games with maybe 10 of the same (mostly Dino Riki and Battle City), and then 90 games that were hacks or that you could customize some settings (such as extra lives, etc.).

But yeah, nowhere close to 190!
Shitty, at least my buddy's 121 in 1 cart had almost entirely new games. Maybe 10 hacks, tops (and it may have been closer to zero than that...pretty rare for a bootleg cart). I remember playing a lot of Circus (Circus Charlie) and Wrestle (M.U.S.C.L.E.) on it. There was some shit on it though, but for the most part it was a quality bootleg cart.

You probably got your NES in 1990 if you got SMB3 at the same time, as the game was released in February 1990 in North America. Or you got the NES in 1989 and got SMB3 later.

That's fine; for years I thought I got mine in 1987, then realized the Action Set didn't come out until 1988.
Atari 2600 here, sometime in 1979 if I'm not mistaken. We started out with Combat, maybe a couple other games too, and then got a ton more over the next few years.
Then we got an Atari 5200 in either 1983 or 1984, at Christmastime. I got Pac-Man and Zaxxon with the system, and then Mr. Do's Castle some time later. Only in the 1990s did I get more games for the system.
My next proper console (vs. computers) was the NES I bought used from my best friend in 1989, with Castlevania and Metal Gear -- a great pair of starter games.
I got a gameboy color when I was 4. I'm pretty sure the first game was pokemon blue. great times, still have the system and game! I got red then yellow as well...
My first "console" was the Commodore 64. It was a hand-me-down from my uncle Mark and came with quite a few of games. The ones that stand out in my memory are: Frogger, Pitfall!, The Last V8 (garbage), Q*bert, Knight Games, Spy vs. Spy, Jupiter Lander, Space Invaders, Impossible Mission, Ghostbusters, Crossbow, Pac-man, Key Quest, Dr. J vs. Larry Bird, Skyfox, and Gateway to Apshai.
The first new console we recieved was the SNES. After years of bugging my parents to get us an NES, the "Sup" hit shelves and out parents decided to get us one for Christmas. That was a glorious year!

I thought the same thing, until I discovered that TMNT didn't come out until '89. All them childhood memories seem like they happened at the same time
