How long have you been gaming?

[soulasylum85]

20 years

 

[PurpleLeafRave]

10 years. I don't know how I lived before then. Probably by playing with a ball in a cup or my Thomas the tank engine trains.
Bearing in mind I'm 16 now.

 

[Cilliandrew]

Played on the Commodore 64 and Colecovision.. Definitive date was christmas 1985 (when Santa brought us a Commodore! ) but i was probably playing on my uncle's colecovision before that.

"Frenzy" and "Venture": Good times.

 

[Darkrain11]

It all started at the age of 4 and the game of choice was Super Mario World for the snes. It didn't just hook me on games, it made me an addict.

 

[VaudevillianVeteran]

Well, Since i was about 3 or 4, I've been playing games. We always had at least 2 consoles in the house because my Dad was about as much of a gamer as I am now.

 

[jimtheviking]

Wow, I feel old. Been gaming since around '84, when my uncles let me play on their ColecoVision for the first time. I was 2, mind you, but I got hooked pretty quick.

 

[VGStrife]

Since the age of 5. Sega Master System II, Alex Kidd in Miracle World..... 17 years well wasted.....

 

[Neotericity]

if you count simant on the original mac complete with 20 megabyte hardrive gaming than probably since 1993/4

 

[Zacharine]

'89, began with Space Taxi on Commodore 64, went trough NES and SNES into the wonderful world of PC-gaming. Dune 2 and Civilization 1, You shall be forever remembered...

So that comes to about 20 years.

 

[MrDarkling]

As far as i can remember it started when Super mario bros came out, then there was games like lylat wars, super mario 64 that followed.
So I might have been maybe...3...4?

 

[Frankydee]

I don't really remember, it was probably around 91 or 92 when my brother got an NES and we'd tag team Mario all day after he got home from school. I was about 4 myself at the time.

 

[malestrithe]

Since before I can remember. My brother was 4 and I was 2. I remember in 1983 being surrounded by a ton of great games. The stores were selling them for 15 dollars a piece, and 1.00 in a lot of them. Something to do with the stock losing value and everyone panicking over it. Some video game got wrongly blamed for it.

On top of that, we had atleast one representative console from each of the 7 generations that are out there.

 

[Sharpeye42]

About the time DOOM came out

 

[Kilroy89]

It was 1994 I think, when my father bought me an used Amiga from his friend. And then it began... ahhh memories (I was 5 back then). I remember playing Pirates!, Dyna Blaster, Lotus series and Road Rash. Good times.

 

[Antlion]

My first game... Comfy keyboard something something at the age of 1, in '96.

my REAL first game, was quake 1. I was about... 4. I didnt understand what was going on very well, for the first two years, but i still cherish that game.

 

[Poomanchu745]

Since i was playing doom so around 1994-1995. Or random arcade games if that counts. So ya most of my life.

 

[GodofDisaster]

Since 1995, I was giving a Nintendo 64, from my uncle.

Spent hours playing super mario bros, duck hunt and when I got a bit older spent quite some time with mortal kombat. Am ashamed to say at that age I could not beat Goro.

 

[possessedtuba]

since pokemon red for game boy color

 

[Archon_Original]

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.

19 years, same as yourself.

NES with Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt!

dont forget the original bionic commando! haha! Duck hunt was great tho! anyone remember the name of a very old PC game where you walked alog the street beating gangers up along side your pet panther!? got a feeling it had 'wild' in the name?
