A place to shove all your early console queries and interests into one place. Wether it be NES MASTER SYSTEM, SNES, SEGA or even earlier consoles.

okie.....What was your first console?

Mine was the NES and the best game was probably Mega Man 4.

As with all computers, the amount of colours it can show is a power of 2. I think it was 16.
