How long have you been gaming?

[Et3rnalLegend64]

Since 1994 I think. I remember Mechwarrior. My cousin used to have it on his computer. My first game was Super Mario and Duck Hunt on his NES.

 

[Comma-Kazie]

I've been playing games since 1994, but I haven't been a serious gamer until about three years ago.

 

[C117]

About twelve to thirteen years, I guess. Seeing as I am seventeen at the moment, I've been gaming for most of my life.

 

[Diablini]

I be surfin' the 7 networks all me life.
Since I can remember. I played a lot of Hercules as a kid.

 

[johnfistyadams]

I can't remember an exact age, but my first console was the Genesis. I remeber playing Jurassic Park and Comix Zone everyday and thinking it was the coolest thing ever.

 

[WickedSkin]

Oh good god I'm getting old...

I made this thread just to say one thing. MW2 is Mechwarrior 2, and that's what I read every time I see those letters. Of course, I understand why it is used for Modern Warfare 2, it just keeps reminding me of how long I've been a gamer.

For me, ever since 1990. Got my NES. Also played PC games at the same time.

Same here, I got TMNT: The Arcade Game with it and I freaking played the shit out of that thing.

Well, when I was three, my Dad used to let me sit on his lap and play computer games with him. I doubt I was any actual help, though. =P So, that's between fifteen and sixteen years. ^ ^ I'm still pretty young in gaming terms, though. I mean, my first console was a PS1, and there were no arcades near where I lived (although my Dad used to take me to one down by the pier all the time).

 

[T-Bone24]

Since 98. With a Mega Drive, first game I ever played was Sonic 2.

 

[IrirshTerrorist]

Since around 1995 when I started playing my brother's GameBoy, games like; Tetris, Fortified Zone, Track Meat, Darkwing Duck, Battle Toads, F1 Racing and many more. Still play the original Tetris (played it about twenty minutes ago), it is unbeatable (not meaning I can't beat it, I mean; no game will ever be better than it).

Then I got a PlayStation which I still play (MGS what a great game). I like to think I;'m a semi-oldschool gamer.

 

[Triforceformer]

I started playing Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars when I was 5, so about 9 years and counting.

 

[Kiefer13]

I've been a gamer since I was about three or four. The Sega Mega Drive (the Genesis, to you Americans) was my first gaming system.

 

[Vuljatar]

Since "Raptor: Call of the Shadows" on my family's first computer in 1995. I was 5 years old.

 

[Nillz]

About since I was 5.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

About...hmm maybe 1997 ish? I would be 4 at the time, what game was my first, I'm not sure

 

[bcponpcp27]

Since I was about 5 I think. I'm 18 now, so maybe it was later, but I got an N64 for Christmas to help with my hand eye coordination. I never got better at handwriting, but my hand eye did get better.

 

[Commander Jack Rankin]

Most of my life. I started with the 2600 and some stuff on the Apple II.

 

[FinalGamer]

Started in 1991 with DuckTales on the NES.

 

[SilkySkyKitten]

Since I was 3, meaning I've been playing video games for over 13 years.

I started out on a combination of my parents' SNES and my grandfather's Commodore 64/128. The SNES I still have, and is currently hooked up to the TV in my room. The Commodore was supposed to be given to me as well, but that has yet to leave the basement of my grandparent's house.

 

[NeutralDrow]

Since I was four, and I played the Forgotten Realms Gold Box RPGs with my father. I've been console gaming since I was seven and got a Genesis for Christmas.
