How long have you been gaming?

[digipinky75910]

Musta been early to mid 80s. I distinctly remember an Atari.

 

[Flour]

Got my first console(SNES) in 93 or 94. I played games before that time, but the SNES was the first console we owned.

 

[wolfy098]

From about 5...

 

[Mirroga]

I've played games ever since I was 3 or 4. We got a FamiCon back then and due to my age, I was extraordinarily thick in playing sidescrolling beat em ups. The first time I actually considered myself as a gamer is at the age of 5-6 when I got the original Gameboy and my first Gameboy game was Super Mario Land.

 

[Bobbovski]

Hmm... I started during the late 80's/early 90's... I was around 4-6 years old I think.

 

[rokkolpo]

i,ve been gaming since 2005 i guess.
not really veteran but hey i,m young.

 

[MetaKnight19]

I started gaming properly when I was about 5 or 6, so that would be around 1994

 

[Thisbedutch]

I used to play on a Commodore and a Megadrive when I was young kid (5-8), then when I was about 10 we got a Playstation and I've been a gamer as such since then.

Some of my earliest game memories were Sonic the Hedgehog and this really weird game called Wonder Boy that as far as I recall had something about mushrooms and fairies in it.

 

[Phenakist]

Since I was 3, good times, good times

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Started in '96 when I was 2 years old and my siblings handed me a Gameboy with Super Mario Land.

 

[Amnestic]

Seventeen years, back when I was a wee lad of two years. Sega Mega Drive (or 'Genesis').

 

[Razmataz]

Ha, wow, about 22 years, since I was 5 as far as I can remember. Started on Pacman at a youth centre (or something) and space invaders at a takeaway. Moved onto my friend's atari, then my own C64, and never looked back

This thread's surprised me, though, I expected a few more people of my, erm, experience to be replying. Though I guess I almost didn't. Ho hum

 

[Ph0t0n1c Ph34r]

3 years old playing Mario on the NES

 

[Hohenheim]

Sega Genesis/MegaDrive era.

Oh, good times.

The Lion King and Shinobi; do you really need anything else?

So since 1993-94?

 

[Dorschbert]

i started with an Amstrad CPC6128 from my uncle, playin games like "Frogger" or "Knight Lore" that must ´ve been around 1990

 

[Georgeman]

Hmmmm... Been a while, hasn't it? Yes, it has. On 1991 with 1992, which in turn means about 17-18 years. Playing games on the Arcade like Bubble Bobble, Donkey Kong, Mortal Kombat, Pac-Man and Street Fighter II. I also grew up with some Rts gaming on my cousin's computer (Command and Conquer, Dune, Red Alert) and like many others at that time I also had a Gameboy with Tetris and a bunch of some other games.

 

[0p3rati0n]

I've been gaming ever since I could use a computer. If you count all the flash games and educational games that I played. But the moment that I hit real gamerhood was when I got the first call of duty at age 9. But I've only recently "discovered" multiplayer like 2 years ago. But some how I'm a pretty good player on almost every call of duty. I've also learns a lot about video games within a short amount of time. [rant]

 

[Kuhly]

About Late 80s early 90s playing games on the commodore 64 and an old type computer that i needed 2 big floppy disks inserted into the computer at same time to play game

 

[oppp7]

I don't remember when I first started video gaming. It's always been there for me, as far back as my memory goes.
