Similar for me. My cousins had an Atari but our house got an NES around the time I was born, so that's what I grew up with.
Since then, I've really leaned into the hobby and have always had all platforms at all times. Even if I'm a few years behind the latest iteration for each.
Does it have to be consoles? My house never had an Atari, and we got an IBM 8088 PC several years before getting the NES. So my first games were PC on MSDOS, Silphead, quadralien, quest for Glory, math blaster, kings quest...
