Holy crap! I had completely forgotten about that. But the second you mentioned it, the memories came flooding back. Didn't even occur to me that the noise was him shuffling the deck. In fact, I didn't even know what shuffling a deck was."When magic is explained, it is no longer magic."

First console ever was a Colecovision when I was real young. I remember playing Ladybug, Zaxxon, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., some racing game and Q*Bert.
Later, around 1987 or 1988 I think, I got an NES with the SMB/DuckHunt/Track&Field combo cartridge. God I loved my NES. I played so many different games on there. When I found out about emulation and how I could play my old NES games on my computer I felt as though I had died and gone to heaven. I still get many hours of gaming in every week thanks to emulation.
When the SNES came out I got it as a Christmas present. Even more of a shock was when I also got a 27" TV for that same Christmas.
I was completely shocked and incredibly excited. I was probably only 11 or so years old (Born in 1980) but it was the best Christmas I ever had. Sadly, we lost power that Christmas so I didn't get to play it until the day after. 
Still, I had many great times with my SNES.
When Mortal Kombat came out and the SNES only had the wussy version thanks to Nintendo being full of themselves, I saved up money and bought a Sega Genesis so I could get the real version of Mortal Kombat. Sadly, I think that's when I started to grow out of video games because I bought maybe one or two other games for the Genesis before I grew tired of it. Typically speaking, if a game came out for both systems I bought it for the SNES because the SNES just was a better system.
When the Playstation came out I went and traded in my Genesis and all my games for it, as well as some of my older SNES games. I bought maybe one or two games for the PSX before I said "This completely sucks. The games take forever to load and I'm sick of stupid racing games and 3D fighter games". So I sold my PSX and didn't get another system until I got the N64. There were some GREAT games on the N64. Super Mario 64, LOZ: OoT, Goldeneye, WWF No Mercy, and quite a few others.
At this point in time, I no longer have my SNES or NES but I do have good emulators and all the games I had growing up. I currently only have my N64 which hasn't seen any action in years (though I have played it via an emulator) and an XBOX. I bought the XBOX last year but don't play it all that often. It's more of a DVD player for me and a way to play some games once every blue moon. I just think that modern games are horrible and have no interest in them. Maybe I'm right and modern games are just pathetically bad, or maybe I've just outgrown them.Are you sure you want to delete this post? Yes | No - Deleted

The first video game console I ever had was the "Commodore Vic-20" which I got for Christmas in 1983. As William Shatner put it in those old commercials ... "Why buy a video game when you can expand their young minds with a home computer system. It's the first honest to goodness video computer system that you can get for under $300"
The next one that I got was an Atari 7800 for Christmas of 1984. Still have both systems, but sadly the Vic-20 doesn't work no more
