How old are you and when did you start playing video-games.

27,my first console was the NES when I was like...7. But I played long before that... it's why arcades existed.

Im 17 right now and started at 4 or 5 with Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt. All my family had was the NES at the time but eventually got a PS1. My dad used to be real pro at Legend of Zelda apparently.

I'm 27 and the first game I played was either Alleycat or Prince of Persia when I was 5 or 6 and they kicked my ass.

[Iorio Braga]

Also 24 years old (We're some kind of mythical gaming generation) and began playing at about age 4 with my older brother's atari (I loved the pacman music and sounds in that thing). When My brother got an nes, his atari became mine. When he got an snes, his nes became mine. Despite him being kind of a pain the ass, we've pretty much were able to share and play together some huge classics. I Distinctly remember some pretty epic moments in double dragon, Battletoads, teenage mutant ninja turtles, super mario and so on. In the snes, we've pretty much played street fighter II all day. Some sequels of nes games just weren't hard enough. I remember we both thought that super battletoads was a piece of cake compared to the Behemoth that the first one was. When I got a bit older (age 9-11) I began my addiction to Jrpgs (FF's, BoF's, SoM) and that pretty much killed my gaming skills. Though that didn't really matter because when I turned 12 I got my N64 and games got a whole lot more fun, and much easier. Well, those are my origins. Kept gaming ever since, played some awesome stuff in the PS's, and got myself a 360 (now my second one, because of 3rls). And no. I'm not overweight, I'm an athlete, love beer, love to go to the beach (i'm brazilian btw), and got my girlfriend pretty hooked in games for sometime now (she loves black, and SotC in the PS2, MWF and Gears for the 360)
