This is my very first one.. PONG..
Then stepped up to Intellivision.. It wasn't bad but I would have preferred the Atari..

My original snes controller has a chunk missing from the side and still works
Meanwhile i went through about 600 combined ps2 and 360 controllers in that next generation

Does Etch-A-Sketch count as a controller?

My dad had one like that that was expensive. Intella something maybe. I also remember watching the hobbit on laserdisc when I was really young.

On #5 they mistakenly used a six button Genesis controller instead of a Saturn controller.

6 and 10 at friends' houses, 12 was the first I actually had my own of.

I only had 1 and 2. I grew out of video games once I hit puberty.

ETA
My aunt gifted me a Pong before I got my Atari, and one Christmas in the late 70's my parents got me an Odyssey, but they were so primitive that I still consider the Atari my first gaming system. This is the Odyssey FWIW.

Most of us in the neighborhood got the Atari. My friend around the corner had the Coleco like yours. My friend across the street had an Intellivision.

Didn't start with it, but if you had #8 and didn't Crazy Taxi or Power Stone, gtfo.
