My family was too poor at the time. I played my neighbor's whenever they'd let me. My first system was a Genesis. I wish it has been a SNES, but them's the breaks.

I do not have to remember, as I am a current owner.

Barry is that an original NES, or did you buy it later?
I ask this because I found that my Nintendo in the '80s degraded from use, and eventually was unable to read the cartridges. I can't imagine one lasting for 25+ years with any kind of semi-regular use.
I remember my dad buying this when I was super young. The first night he had to test it out and wouldnt let us kids touch it. The following weeks consisted of marathon Mario and Duck Hunt sessions.
5-6 years later I was about 10. I was a mouthy punk ass kid as you can imagine. One day after grounding me and other various threats, my mom literally smashed the Nintendo with an iron. I was heartbroken.
Even better, for 10 bucks and a little work, you can replace that whole part and have pretty much a new NES.

Got my NES in 1985 when they first came out. I was only 5 though so I didn't really hit my video game stride till SNES when I was a little older, so most of my nostalgia gaming memories are SNES ones.
Favorite games included super Mario world, F Zero, street fighter, and Final Fantasy II
I have each nintendo console ever made. And most handheld models. No biggie.
(Except the wii u which I am going to get soon now that mariokart is out)
I still have my original NES from the mid 80's & a bunch of games. Haven't played it in years.
I was at a flea market a couple weeks ago and there was a guy with tons of vintage Nintendo, Atari,and Sega products. He had multiple Sega Saturn's for sale
RCA pro am and super Dodge ball were my shit on nintendo
