I started playing when i was about 4ish at my semi-local arcades. At age 5 i got a PS1, then a bit after the PS2 came out i got that, then i got a 360, then a PS3.

I'm 14 now so you can work the years for yourself if you want.

I think I was about 4 or so, I started playing 'Chip's Challenge' on my Dad's PC; it was all PC-based until the N64 came out, then back to PC gaming until I got my 360 recently. That would make me a gamer for about 15 years...

I started playing my mom's Sega Genesis 2 when I was 3, so for 16 years (born in '90 for the record.) Though there was a time inbetween for a couple years when I was 5-8ish where I quit playing for the most part, but then my dad got me a PS1 and here we are.

I started playing when I was three years old. So that sets my start at about...roughly '98 so that sets my time as a gamer at eleven years. For curiousities sake the first game I ever played was DOOM on our old computer (yes, when I was three years old. My Dad had a copy of the game and he would sometimes set it up for me and my sister to play). I got my start on the PC playing through (Or at my age it was more like occasionally taking part in a game whilst spending much a time on my fathers lap whenever he set up and played a game) what I remember as an early pinball game, a sequel to monkey island, an early flash games website called Alfie and various other things such as this old toy story game which I loved to bits. My first experiences with consoles arose among systems which my friends owned such as the playstation one and nintendo 64. I remember me and my sister had gameboy colours when they were the hottest things. My family got an original Xbox the day it was released in Australia and our first game on it was a game called mad dash, that was our first console. And since then I've played through the days of the xbox, most of Nintendos hand held line-up and now we have an xbox 360. Like my early days I tend to play alot on pc (Mainly older games due to the processing power) and I have a DS. And to tell you the truth I wouldn't want to have spent the time any other way.

Oh and sorry to have rambled.

Eh hell knows I suppose since the Sega Megadrive but never seriously got into it until I got my PS1 roughly 11-12 years lets say.

Gaming in general, since the days of the NES. Proper hardcore PC gaming, well I played alot of BF1942 at the local lan center but it was only when I left school, started working and bought my first proper PC that I became a true PC gamer.... so about 5 and a half years ago.
