Doesn't count! I mean, I can pretty much assume most folks on this site would pick a console, so let's say BESIDES a console...
But since you raised it, Rave do you remember your first few games on the 2600?
Mine were Space Invaders, Pinball, River Raid, Freeway and Fishing.
Breakout - 1st video game I ever played.
Combat -2 player only
Pac-man - Its a good game, dammit!
Other favorite toy: Bicycle
Chopper Command was probably the first game I saw on a 2600.
Bicycle is a damn good choice too though. It's basically a car for a child and having that kind fo independence trumps any other toy.
A bike is even less of a toy than a console.
Unless you're Iga.
Difficult to say, either TMNT toys or I was fond of the huge Dino Riders T Rex toy.
It walked with batteries. Totally badass.
The series was shite though.

That might be true if all one used a bike for was to travel from point A to point B. No, my friends and I would do stupid but fun things with our bikes, like building ramps on small hills to see how high we could jump. I'm surprised I never broke any bones doing that crap, lol.

Though that means we can categorise anything as a toy. The things I've done with a knife!
Not that I mind you doing so really!
I had a lot of phases when it came to toys. WHen I was 6 it was all about He-Man. When I was 7 it was Transformers. 8 was GI Joe. But the one constant for me was water guns. When it was summer time it was just a bunch of water gun wars. And each summer a more evolved water gun came out. Right around the time I was 11 or so the Super Soaker came out, and it was the ultimate. Water streams shot 30 feet and it was a strong blast and not just a quick squirt. Loved my super soaker. I ended up getting a huge collection of them (which was good because really they broke as easily as a first gen 360), and could supply half the neighborhood kids for our wars - though more often I didn't share and preferred to stay armed with 5 guns at a time.
Super soakers were great. I made one kid cry by spraying him at close range. He was weak and needed to learn a lesson.
I used to really love Domino Rally. I hated playing with other kids because they always fucked up and dropped one before we finished setting them all. Wish I still had my set.
Mine was probably a Commodore 64, but that's a computer, not a toy, so I'd probably have to go with LEGO or Matchbox cars (like Hotwheels for those of you in North America).
