How long have you been playing video games?

[Darzen]

I got a N64 at I think the age of 5.I've been playing Video games since then and so far I don't think I'll stop till they get boring and totally sold out

My parents had a computer back in the day (I think it was a Commodore 64, but not sure), and they got me a Sesame Street game for it. I played that a lot (I was like 3 or something). Then I started playing on my cousins' NES. I was always on that thing when I went to their house. So I guess about 20 years.

1996-1997 when I was 5-6 years old, started out on DOOM and Heretic for the PC...

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Born in 1987, started playing around 1991. Back when Sonic was a good video game character.

 

[Psychophante]

Been playing games as long as I can remember, probably about 20 years, maybe more. (And I ain't THAT old, just 27!)

 

[Mr. Grey]

I've been playing for eighteen years, since I was three. Well... going on eighteen years of gaming. I can't recall my first game, but I think it might have been Wing Commander on the PC or the SNES... one of the two. It may not have even been that.

i had played the nes as a kid at friends and family, but the first system that ruined my social life was the SNES. and the rest is, as you say, history.

[radarbsm]

Started when I was 5 years old went steady till I was 12. This is when I started to work on a farm. then came back to gaming when I turned 17. Have not looked back. About 10 years.

 

[GodKlown]

I've been playing since I was about 4 on the Atari 2600 around '83 or '84, so I'm closing the gap on 30 years. Sounds kinda sad to put in print like this.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

When I was 2, my siblings handed me a Gameboy and were amazed at how quickly I learned how to play Super Mario Land. Although I never finished the bloody game.

 

[Iwata]

Was born in 1980, got a ZX Spectrum when I was a little kid. Ah, the old days of playing computer games on 8-track tapes...

I later got a proper PC with Wolfenstein 3D, then I got a Game Boy, Mega Drive and so on and so forth until today.

 

[Ultress]

since about the mid-nintes, I don't remember what age I started gaming but I remember I started with an SNES and Super Mario World.

[The King of Rock and Roll]

I've had my Ex-Box 360 for about a week now, and I'm playing this Halo game that somebody told me was pretty good. I always die when I'm on Ex-Box Alive though.
