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
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.
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.
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
There is no wrong way to hold an N64 controller. Any way you hold it, it is equally uncomfortable.
The NES controller. Though I like 2 at the time. First one I remember playing is the SNES controller.
Atari controller
We upgraded to a Wica controller (same thing as the Atari controller just with better parts so it didn’t break so easily.)
