I also remember playing the Atari 2600, though I never owned one myself. I think the Nintendo Entertainment System was the first home video game system I ever had. (Actually, the only one really- though I later got a portable one- my Sega Game Gear, which I still like to play every now and then.
)
I think our family got the NES somewhere in the late '80s for Christmas one year- I was probably 6 or 7 maybe...
