I started out on the PC, but I got a NES soon after (only console I ever owned) however, a lot of my games were in german (not a language me or my family knew), so there was a certain element of playing it blind. It wasn't a problem with Super Mario games, but Zelda was a bit tricky. I managed, but I was flying blind. However, imagine playing a first-person point-and-click adventure and understanding roughly every 20th word...Shjade said:At least there are a few other people in here who are over twenty.

Approximately nineteen years, I guess, starting with the NES.
It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.
It's been about 8 glorious years of wasted time for me. I remember i was playing like Freddi Fish or Pajama Sam or something. Point and click adventures rule!
I guess when I was about 5-6 years old. Base on the release date of Wolfenstein 3D.
the first game I played, together with my uncle. He controlled the arrow keys, I shot ze germans ^^
Then I got a SNES and later moved on to PS2 (I never had a PS1, I went to play that at my friends house)
so... 17 years of gaming

Since I played old C64 games when I was young i can't think of an actual date based on the games I played. Hedge my bets and say since 1994/5.

For some reason this makes me think of playing Oregon Trail in German, and it seems so much more fun that way.Jandau said:I started out on the PC, but I got a NES soon after (only console I ever owned) however, a lot of my games were in german (not a language me or my family knew), so there was a certain element of playing it blind.

first game was most likely "Granny's Garden" on the acorn RISC OS, that witch scaced the crap outta me!(at the time!)I think this was 1996ish We did have a old computer.
Don't remember exactly, but my parents have pictures of me as an infant playing Genesis, so I've probably had less than a year of my life without games.
