I vote NES.

Short list, but I go NES also.

NES for its sentimental value, but the SNES really got me into gaming.

In theory NES, but SNES really nailed so many games. As can be seen by their replayabilty on GBA.

NES all the way that is where i started

I must be just a wee bit older. I wore out many joysticks and acquired many blisters playing the Atari VCS for hours on end in 1979. Atari was my first love, so to speak, and you never forget your first love. Nes was cool and had great games but nothing compares to the wonder and amazement of the day my dad brought home the atari. And then a year or so later, Space Invaders!

You forgot Neo Geo!!
Best 2-D games EVAR!!

It's gotta be the NES, my first system ever.

Atari was my first. NES was sweet. But Genesis was my fav. I'll be the first to say it.

i am going to have to say the SNES, it was the very first system i got when i was younger and i still have one today. we started out with games like mickey's magical quest (which is a great game considering that it involves mickey), ken griffey presents and star fox. then i explored more and founf games like, zombies, ms pac man, donkey kong and even more recently i picked up zombies sequel, ghoul patrol and i am about to go and get Street fighter 2! SNES all the way

thanks,

This was HARD. See, Atari I NEVER played because I wasn't into video games then. Once NES came out, I played that constantly, then SNES and GENESIS came out, they brought so many good games and lots of memories, but becuase NES was the more dominant in my childhood memories, I PROUDLY VOTE NES!

Genesis is the first system I ever played. But I have to say SNES is the best old school system I've ever played. I mean common! Mario owns!

NES.Punch-Out ruled!!

NES.Punch-Out and Contra are still my favorite games.

since when is genesis and snes old school? i thought the list would be include several of the ataris, intellivision, commodore 64, collecovision...oh the memories.

I think the Poll relates to "old school" consoles not "at birth" consoles.

do you even have to ask? itd have to be nes
Atari may have paved the way for gaming but nes showed us where gaming could go.

funny how nes' rival Segas master system didnt even make the poll
Too bad Nintendo has geared itself trowards a younger audience now, but hey I was young too once

snnes "old school"? sorry but not to me
Old school =80's

Old School, not ancient.

I didn't really think of the Master System...I guess it seemed just like the Genesis to me.

Atari was cool at the time, but I just don't think it holds up. I LOVE classic gaming but I just can't play more than 4-5 Atari games. And most of the games I liked were re-released anyway.

NES began it all for me.
