Poll: How old were you when you started gaming?

[Captain Awesome]

4. good times. life was simple then

Which is probably why a lot of people still play so much, it's like a trip down memory lane to simpler times.

 

[Go Fighting In The War Room]

I was 5. It was playing C&C on a windows 95...

 

[Syvari]

I played "Atari 2600 classics" and other various games on my computer since i was 5.

 

[Clockwerk133]

I was maybe 6 or 7 when I got a N64. I got a PS2 next.

 

[MakerOfRoads]

its good to see the video game industry still knows how to hook em when their young. Sadly, I was around 4 when i first started playing video games (aka getting spanked in Street fighter by older brothers)

 

[SimuLord]

I was five. Pac-Man, 1982. Still gaming, and thanks to MAME, still playing the game that started it all for me (and I still suck at Pac-Man.)

 

[Bobbovski]

I started when I was somewhere between 4-7 years old. I played on my brother's PC and on my own NES.

 

[mikecoulter]

I was either 3 or 4. I started out on a Playstation, Crash Bandicoot, Ridge Racer and WipEout was my life...

[Frank_Sinatra_]

I was about 4 when my parents bought the SNES but I didn't start playing it often till I was about 5.

I was 6 or 7 when I discovered the amazing story of a small blue hedgehog who could travel superfast and loved to collect rings.

 

[quiet_samurai]

I was 6, I got an NES and the game Double Dragon for X-mas.

So magical.

I was 6 when I first picked up a Gameboy color and Pokemon blue.
