When did you get your NES?

I got mine, hmm, I bought it myself so I was in my twenties. Ours had SMB/Duck Hunt with Zapper. We had or rented SMB2, SMB3, Zelda, Zelda II, Star Tropics, among others. We rented a lot. I know we owned SMB/Duck Hunt, Zelda, Zelda II and Star Tropics. I'm not sure what else we owned.

I started gaming on a stand-alone Pong clone that had 4 games and the control knobs were on the machine (early 80s). Moved from that to Atari 2600 then Commodore 64 the NES.

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...
