I was 2 years old. Didn't know what a video game even was. First video game I touched was a GB when I was 5...

To be honest, I didn't know who exactly Duke Nukem was until 2010, and 3DR Forums merged with GBX and flooded our forums with 9001 new topics a second. I logged on one day, and thought "What the hell? Where's Gearbox Forums? Who are all these people...?" D:

I was seven and a half(it was important back then!) years old. Probably just started playing Crash Bandicoot at the time.

For the sake of truth: I was a baby and had no idea what games were, nor the sounds of shooting and yells of pain coming from downstairs (dad enjoying Quake III) and had no idea who Duke Nukem was.
For lols: I was in the womb, wondering where Duke was.

I was two. Probably not doing much important things. But in exactly 1 month, I would be three years old and that's when a baby becomes a boy! Also, somewhere along the way, there was a Game Boy Colour, just can't remember when. It was purple and I still have it.

Calumon: I dunno. I can't remember that far.

Jack: Apparently you were born on April 1st 2001, so you weren't around.

Calumon: Aw nuts. : (

I was twelve, probably reading about a new Duke game in the Gamestar magazine, psyched by it i installed the new dozen of great demos on the magazines CD , because that was what it was like back in the day, when developers didnt had to be afraid of giving us a demo of their well made, thought through and innovative games. Or even the shitty ones, because they didnt want to sell them anyway.I guess
Then i played on my Nintendo. Swords and Serpents perhaps. Or Pirates!.

I was two years old, and remember almost none of it. My parents didn't let me have games until I was 9.

Is that the real cover art? If so, I've never seen one so...phalic. Fits the Duke like a glove.

Anyway, I was 7 and spamming the very first Duke Nukem, the 2D platformer one yeah, and other ancient games like that. Despite me not being very old our family's tech level always lagged behind half a decade or something. I hadn't heard about Duke Nukem Forever because of that, we only got internet 3 years later and no-one I knew had gaming magazines.

I was three, so probably dribbling and pretending not to be able to talk. Yeah, I pretended I couldn't talk just to annoy my parents XD

7 years old.

My friend brought over duke nukem because he rented it. In my head I was thinking "I don't think I'm allowed to play this!"

I was eleven years old. If I wasn't going to Boy Scout meetings, reading World War II books or building model airplanes I was playing games like Tie Fighter and A-10: Tank Killer on my parent's IBM 486 computer (DOS and Windows 3.1 all the way). Either that or I would go over to my neighbor's house where their kid had all the Nintendo consoles at the time (he even had a Virtual Boy for a little bit). If memory serves me correctly we played Mario Kart 64 to death during that time.
