How long have you played games

[ICanBreakTheseCuffs]

well I was kinda bored so I decided to look in my attic and I found a box of 90's games that I got when I was kid and I remembered playing them alot in 1999 and then I just realized that I have been playing games for close to 11 years so I decided to ask you guys!

[edit] also, what was the first game you played unless you forgot and my first game was turok (spelling?) and DOOM

 

[Marter]

I started when I was 4, so 1997. Been playing for 13 years now I guess. First game was Lemmings.

Since I was around 4 years old I believe, which means I've been gaming for about 13 years.

My first game was Nanosaur, followed by Power Pete and Full Throttle.

Since I was around 11. Though I played games at friends but when I was 11 I/my family bought the Godsent console Playstation 2. So 6 years of gaming the 28 of september!

I got an Atari in 1984 but I got my Nintendo in 1988. I consider the Nintendo to be what really got me into gaming (although I do still have some fond memories of the Atari). The first game I ever played was Centipede, my Nintendo came along with Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt and The Legend of Zelda.

Good lord, I am so old.

Since I was a wee lad. I dunno, I was probably about 4-6 years old.

I've been an active gamer since I got my first Gameboy, the first game I owned being 'TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan' on said handheld. I was 6 at the time, meaning I've been a gamer for 17 years now... debatably even longer, since the first game I ever played was actually 'Super Mario Land' on a friend's Gameboy when I was 4.

 

[PurpleLeafRave]

I've been playing since I was 6, so 10 years. First game I got was Pokemon Yellow.

 

[Truly-A-Lie]

As long as I remember really. Everything I am spawned from playing on my mum's Mega Drive on Sonic 1. But at a guess I must have been about 3 or 4 for me to be able to properly get going with it.

 

[Rofl-Mayo]

I started playing video games in 1998 (I was 3 then), and the first game I played was Pokemon Yellow Edition.

 

[braincore02]

Approximately 22 years now, and counting. Hard to remember exactly which was THE first game I played. That was probably more than 22 years ago, some ASCII graphics submarine or airplane game on my dad's IBM. The first handful of games I recall by name were on the Apple IIGS- Hardball, Test Drive, Rampage, Skate or Die, Epyx California Games, Maniac Mansion (for the IIe or something, but I could run that shit coz I was awesome, until my computer turned obsolete for having less than 1mb of RAM lol)

 

[unoleian]

Hmm. About 22 years, I guess?
First game I ever played was something on Atari, probably Barnstorming IIRC. Maybe it was Super Mario Bros. on the Nintendo. It's all so fuzzy now. Got my first Gameboy as a gift about a year later.

I think I started playing video games when I as about 3/4 years old. The first game I ever played was, I think, Sonic the Hedgehog 1 or 2 for the Sega Mega Drive. Good Times.
