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

[eatenbyagrue]

4, and it was Super Mario Bros. on my aunt's NES.

Seriously: I'd sit through the two hour car ride (my aunt lived all the way down in the ozarks, and the roads aren't that well-developed) for the swimming, playing in the rice fields (had to be careful about snakes and beehives) and in the evening, play Mario and Tetris on the NES. Good times, good times.

I must have been three or four... there was this dungeon crawl game on the Macintosh where you were a little @ symbol and you fought off little ogre letters in a dungeon made entirely from punctuation. My babysitter had to read the text for me. It was totally state of the art. the other game we had was pong... pong was friggen hard.

dam I was corrupted young, anyone remember what that game was called? I wonder if we still have it somewhere...

From about 3-4 on my dads Amiga 500+ on games like Dungeon Master, ShufflePuck Cafe, Lemmings etc. Damn good times :-D

Almost 4, first game I remember was something like Tarzan-some heavily pixelated guy jumping over ponds, crocodiles and such (on some Amiga I think, we called every console Terminator xD). On the PC 4 or 5, game was Supaplex

Robocop VS Terminator for the Sega Megadrive II. ahh memories

I was around 5-6, and the games were Space Invaders and Test Drive 1 on my dad's 4-color display laptop. Soon we started playing Duke Nukem 1. My first console game, age 9, was Sonic 2.

Rougly 1994 (4 years old) my first console was a Sega MegaDrive and the game was "Rocket Knight Adventures"

14 years of gaming, about 3/4+ of my life, sadly It never gave me a job like Yahtzee's or even working for a magazine.
