This is gonna sound sort of funny, but I have loved games and gaming since I was 3 years old. So that would be about...'98,'99. It all started with DOOM, my somewhat brilliant father, who had both a home computer and a copy of the game would sometimes set it up for me and my sister to play. In the following few years I got experience with console gaming from my ps1 owning friends, most of whom owned that classic Spyro the dragon (Before he became a little corporate whore). I got my first handheld around the time I started kindergarten, so that's early 2001 with the gameboy colour, late 2001 I'll always remember us heading out to what was then Grace Brothers after school the day it came out, and buying it along with Mad Dash (A very unappreciated game). So that means I've been gaming for around 11 years, and wouldn't want to have spent those years any other way. And you can probably figure out the rest of the story, mind you I always feel awkward coming here and posting my little stories of my early gaming days with the xbox and GBC, when other people come on here and talk about how they had things like Ataris and Nintendos to entertain them, I guess Freud would say "Gaming envy". Though just think about that, when I was 3 I was gunning my way through demons, zombies and other nasties in DOOM, and have been doing so in most releases since, yet I'm a pacifist kind of guy, well I'm gonna go set some cats on fire now, maybe tape a plastic bag over someones head.

Close to 20 years. Started with a PC of some sort, but I can't remember which one (it was before the age of x86 machines), and a NES soon after. NES ended up being my last console ever, but I've been gaming non stop ever since.

Since I held a Sega Master System controller. No, I'm not quite that old (It was my uncle's). But at least since the late 90s.

Ahahah! I remember gaming on the Playstation as well. I'll have to ask my brother if he remembers how old we were then 'cause definitely remember playing on it and I remember playing the first Spyro the dragon on it. Ah, good times, good times.

I started in '95, 5 years old at the time started watching my dad play Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, and C&C... For the next few years that was all I did whenever I had the chance.

I would wake up in the middle of the night after a few hours of sleep, play for a few hours, then get back in bed for a few more hours before school started... now I just don't go to sleep in the first place(one good thing about growing up.)
