What age were you when you started gaming, and what was the game?

[Inco]

4, sonic the hedgehog. Brilliant.

 

[.Warheart]

Around 6, playing games on Gameboy, some of those weird old consoles or trying to get to play on my bro's computer.

 

[Artemis923]

Four years old, NES, Mario/Duck Hunt.

4 - Sonic the Hedgehog

 

[JenXXXJen]

5-6 ish, Ocarina of Time Though I wouldn't say that's when I started, I ended up just playing OoT, Majora's Mask, and Mario 64 over and over again until I was about 10.

 

[Hot'n'steamy]

Golden Axe, on the Sega Megadrive/Genesis and I played it on my sister's 7th birthday which made me 3 years old

 

[TheWeasel]

Around 6 or 7, 'Trolls' on my step-dad's brand new Amiga, followed closely by Lemmings and Worms. Good times.

 

[4fromK]

I think I was about three, but im sure i was younger than six. the game was Doom.
here was born my love of a good shotgun

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

I don't recall what my very first game was, but it was likely either Castle, Bouncing Babies or Alley Cat. I was between 3 and 4 at the time.

The first game that I can recall actually enjoying was Cabal - an arcade game that later transitioned to the NES. I was 7 at the time. The game that cemented my place in the hallowed halls of social misfits was Captain Skyhawk for the NES. I may have recovered by in 1993 I played Alien 3 for the SNES and I've been doomed ever since.

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Banjo Kazooie Christmas 98 I was 7

 

[Anachronism]

I can't remember how old I was, but I'd guess around about 10. The game was Quake II. I'm pretty sure a 10 year old shouldn't have been playing that game, but I think I turned out alright.

[Super_Nintendo_Chalmers]

When i was 3 my parents got me a game boy colour,
all it had was Pokemon Red & Yellow, but i loved it to bits.
Then when i was 4, i got a PS1 for christmas, it had the first Spyro game and Abe's Odyssey.

 

[Wayne Insane]

That's hard.The first Game that left a memorable Imperession on me was Doom when I was 6.
And by left an Impression I mean scared me so bad that I had downright hallucinations about a Spider Mastermind sitting in front of my bed.Well, maybe it was a bad dream but it felt pretty real.

 

[skyfire_freckles]

God, it was either Missile Command or Pac-Man on my dad's Atari 800XL computer. The year was 1983 and I was six years old.

Now I feel old.

 

[Plauged1]

I was 2 kicking ass at the NES. Then I got my ps1 at 5 and it only got better for me from there.

Edit: forgot to mention, the first ps1 game I owned was Resident Evil Directors Cut.

 

[Commander Jack Rankin]

Young, don't remember my exact age, but the game was Combat on the Atari 2600.

 

[Bigfatstupid]

I was six when I played tetris.

You needed a crowbar to pull that gameboy out of my hands. XD

 

[mcgooch]

About 8 I think (probably younger) and it was Crash bandicoot

 

[NeoDeath90]

Three years old. Doom for the PC. God, I love my family. Letting a toddler play Doom. I mean really!
