I put five into the poll, then realized that it must have been before that, because I had my N64 by the time I was in primary school and was renowned for being an obsessive.
My first gaming experience was when I was around 6 or 7, on a gaming machine owned by my older brother. It was one with the games built in, and included tennis, soccer and some others I can't remember. I got properly into gaming at around the age of 8, when my parents bought an Atari 2600. Good times.
I must have been what three or four when I remember playing a Thomas the tank engine game. Awesome right? To this day that is still the best game I have ever played.
I started playing video games when i was around 6. My uncle said that it helps with hand-eye coordination so my mom bought me a consle and i started playing. I can't remember the game though but i think the consle was a sega saturn. I started playing the playstation afterwards and that started my gaming addiction.
It was Christmas Day, 1982. Renee and Renato were top of the charts. The UK had just been victorious in the Falklands. We were recording Star Wars off the TV with our new top-loading VCR (the remote control was on a wire). I'd received a BBC Micro for Christmas, and loaded up Hunchback, by Superior Software (still, apparently, in business, and trading off fellow rose-tinted glasses wearers).
My first PC game was 'Centurion: Defender of Rome', which I got for 7.99 at a local department store. The first time I paid full price for a PC game was for X-Wing, after reading its preview in the first issue of PC Zone.
I'm old, by the way.

I remember my first experience with a video game being around the tender age of 3 or 4, when I played Pong on someone's (fairly old, by then) Magnavox Odyssey on a black-and-white TV. I was hooked from the beginning.
My first game console was an Intellivision.

Serious!? I think games have ruined my hand eye co-ordination now. my hands are co-ordinated but only to a 22" monitorfigment of mind said:
My first real gaming experience was with super mario 64. I got it for my birthday. I like to think of that as a large turning point in my life.
Started at around 3 on an Atari 800XL, moved onto a Genesis, then the N64. It was only then I found my true love in the form of Age of Empires and Jedi Knight, and I haven't left my beloved PC since!
My dad used to sit me on he's lap and play game's, apparently I was bashing the key board as soon as I could see it and the screen.(I was born in 84) We had a few IBM pc's with games like space wars, paratrooper, bouncing babys etc. I got to play through space quest and police quest, populus, all the greats as they came out. Game's have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, part of my social life to, there was a small group of us that had PC's early on. Many a happy hour was spent crowded round a monitor with friends, and I'm glad games were part of my childhood.
Pong..
i'm not that old but when i was really little my parents had an old pong console they would plug into the TV.
