Yeah I decided to make one about when you got your first Gameboy, Ds, or whatever...So i'll start this off


When I was about 6 or 7 I got my first Original Gameboy and the games I had were Mega Man V, Tetris, and Super Mario Land 2: Golden Coins.

I think I was around 5 or so when I first got a Game Boy. That thing lasted me all the way up through 7th grade. I played that on so many trips.

My first hand held was a Game Boy...I don't remember how old I was. I'm guessing around 7 or 8...possibly even younger. I got it with a free Tetris game...

Can't remember exactly...

I think I was 5... However, It was a Pirated handheld... With many variations of Tetris and other cheap games.

There are lots of these here.

When I got my first handheld game system, I was about 10 or 11 years old. It was the Nintendo DS lite, if I recall correctly. If it wasn't that, it was my Venasaur Game Boy Advance SP. For the DS lite, my first game was some baseball game, and for the Gameboy Advance, it was Pokemon Fire Red. the Game Boy Advance I don't have anymore, but I still have my DS, but it doesn't have a charger anymore.

I was 11 when I got my first real handheld. The year the original Gameboy came out. I had so much fun playing that damn thing. Great memories. I still have it!

I was like... 6 or 7? I don't really remember.

It was when the GBC first came out. I got it along with Pokemon.

I must say, things have been a blast ever since.

My first handheld was a Gameboy. The beautiful one. Big, grey and blocky.  I think I was 7 or 6 or something like that. But I cherished it and am disgusted with how my nieces mistreat their first handhelds. They just toss them, leave them on the living room floor, it makes me realise how much I actually respected my stuff as a kid.

When I look at the nice new sleek ones and the huge GBA I can't really tell how one came from the other

I was about 3 or 4 when I got a gameboy advance SP. My parents got me Pokémon yellow and Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2.  I also got a carrying case and this magnifier thing and a grip since my tiny hands had trouble holding it. I remember plugging it in and laying on the floor, playing for hours at a time, and since it was plugged in, It never died so I kind of treated it more as a tiny console instead of a handheld. I still have it, but I let my little 4 year old cousin play on it, and I gave her the Mario game..... I think now she's better than me lol.

I think I was 7 or 8 when I got my first Gameboy Color. I still have it and play with it today. I got the Gameboy Advanced SP but I lost it when I moved. The only set back now about my Color is you can't play it in the dark, you have to have perfect lighting (like in a car), but I still love it!
