How long have you played games

[Fantastic Foxkins]

My Dad bought me my first console when I was three (he really wanted a son lol) and that was in 1988 so I've been gaming twenty two years.

 

[GundamSentinel]

Since I was 3 or 4. That'd be around 1990. Playing crappy old games on Gameboy and 486. Tetris and Test Drive, those were the days.

 

[Jack_Uzi]

About 24 years or so. Don't really remember. Ever since my parents bought me a C64 up to now I guess.

 

[Darth Rahu]

I remember playing a few things on C64 until about three when I played Mario for the first time so I'd say been a gamer for 17 years.

 

[kinetix271]

My parents have pictures of me playing mario when i was 2 so its been 15 years.

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

I've been gaming since my 'rents bought one of those plug in pong consoles for the tv back in... 78? 79?

That's over 30 years of gaming.


Now get off my lawn.

 

[Minjoltr]

Sonic 1.

So . . . 18 years? That sounds about right.

 

[AvsJoe]

I played my first video game in 1990. I was 2 years old. It was either Duck Hunt, Super Mario Bros, or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I've been gaming since about 2 or 3 so, I started in about 1990. Sadly, I've lost my older hardware and software. I intend on getting it all back though. Thank the Great Old Ones for Amazon.com!

 

[Serioli]

Since the ZX-81. Ah, programming a fruit machine in BASIC......

[CrikeyO]

1992, when I was four. I picked up an old Game Boy my cousin had left in the house, played Tetris, got hooked.

 

[supaflystrikes]

Started with the good ol' Genesis/Mega Drive in 1991 when I was about 3 or 4. Sonic 1 was my first game, and it was a blast!

 

[ThorUK]

"Stay a while, and listen..."

Nah seriously, Diablo wasn't that long ago... Wolfenstein 3D is pretty old I guess...

 

[child of lileth]

I've been playing since I was 3-years-old. I'm 22 now. So about 19 years, give or take.

 

[Xyphon]

Seeing as I started when I was 3, I've been gaming for 15 years. 16 years on the 15th of next month.

 

[NorthernTrooper]

Ever since I was 4, so 1997 = 13 years of gaming.
