Atari 2600 followed by NES
A commodore 64 joystick. Next was the NES controller.
The reverse order for me. A borrowed NES first at 5-6, then a secondhand C64 at 8. Learned to type and program BASIC on that thing.
Learned basic on that thing as well. I remember having a magazine subscription that included a program in the center fold. Then saving it to a cassette tape to enjoy later. Lol
Also worked for the Commodore 64 and Vic20.
NES controller
Commodore 64 joystick.
Me too. I started with the little brown first-party stick that came with the Pro Pack, but soon switched to an inexplicably beige Quickshot II.
3 button megadrive controller
Spectrum +2A
Atari 2600 controller. Joystick & button.
My parents bought us a Nintendo 64 for Christmas when it came out.
Never played any games or consoles that came in between those two. It was wild.
Intellivision II and Commodore 64 with joystick. Not sure which one we had first first.
PS3
I appear to be quite young around here…
Perhaps a bit.
Mine was ps2. Grandparents still had the original nes my dad played on. Fortunately got some duck hunt and Mario 1 memories
I played many systems before the Dreamcast but I consider that controller my first.
Not a controller per say, but does a mouse and keyboard count?
SNES
N64, and no I’m still not sure how to hold it, I always end up walking funny.
There is no wrong way to hold an N64 controller. Any way you hold it, it is equally uncomfortable.
Lol I love this.
Pong.
