31.

I got to play some games on a neighbor's C-64 when I was 7 (Top Gun, Gunship, Kickman), and another neighbor had an Atari that I played Pacman and Pong on soon after that. My first gaming system in my own home was the NES in Christmas of 1988. First one I bought with my own money was the PS2 on release day, having walked to the Wally World around midnight and stood in line (still 10th in line).
