how many Years have you been gaming?

[DirgeNovak]

I've been gaming since 1996 (when my dad bought a PSX), so that makes 15 years.
First finished game was Crash Bandicoot, in 1997.
Last was inFamous yesterday.

 

[Gaiseric]

Ummm...I think I've been playin' games since I was 5 so that would be 17 years. Same as you OP.

The first game I remember finishing was Super Mario Bros. 2.

Last game? Shit, I haven't finished any game for awhile now. I got Killzone 3, Crysis 2, Mass Effect 2, and Yakuza 3 waitin' to be finished.

 

[Fayathon]

I started gaming when I was five or six, so about twenty years now, my first game I played to completion was Super Mario 3, and the last game I finished was Portal 2 if I remember right.

 

[ManimalR]

My first console was a PS1, which I got for my 7th birthday, so 10 years
the first game I remember finishing was red alert 2 and the most recent game I finished was dawn of war 2: Retribution

I'd say since I was about five, but that's being fairly generous as I have enjoyed games for my entire life. I grew up with a bit of an arcade in my basement, with Mortal Kombat arcade cabinet and a Mr. Do (An awesome game that's kinda like Pac-man, but better in my opinion), as well as a slot machine, a dart board, a jukebox, and even a pinball machine (my family used to be very well off, but hard times hit our state). So I've been gaming for 17 out of my 20 years on this planet. My first game that I beat was Mortal Kombat, and the last one was likely L.A. Noire.

 

[GroundWalker]

I think I started playing at 5 or something like that, so for 12 years now.
First game I remember is Quake. (Thanks dad for having liked games. Sadly, no more.)
Latest...hmm...Mass Effect 2.

 

[UlytimateDestruction]

Since I was 7 I'm now 13, 14 this year. 2004 was the year I started (atleast I think). The first game I remember playing was either mario bros on the gameboy advance or james bond: the world is not enough on the PS1. The last game I played was Dead Nation.

 

[Frost27]

The first games I remember playing (around 1980ish) were Beach head on the C64 and later Karateka. We also had an Atari 2600 with Warlords, Pitfall, Kaboom etc.

First game I remember finishing... Probably Megaman 2 or Final Fantasy 1.

 

[DSK-]

A) At least 18/17 years
B) Total Annihilation/Red Alert 95 or possibly Carmageddon
C) Crysis 2

 

[The Clown]

My earliest memory is of playing quake, I was 2 and I sat on my dad's lap hitting the fire button, been gaming ever since.

 

[Oinodaemon]

I'm 20, playing since 3, 17 years for all you deficients out there, first game I remember finishing was Legend of Zelda:Link to the Past. Last game I finished is a little tougher....Either Bioshock, or Crash Bandicoot...No, wait, Kingdom Hearts. Yea, that one.

 

[K4ndY]

1- I've been playing VGs for about 23 years (since I was about 4 years old)

2- First game I remember finishing was Super Mario Bros (although to be fair, I used to play a lot of Atari games before that which didn't really have a true ending, you just play until you died)

3- Last game I finished was either Red Dead Redemption or Castlevania - Lords of Shadow

Edit: Last game was Portal2 (brainfart...)

 

[Extragorey]

13 years, Top Hat Willy (took forever...), and Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars (100%).

 

[SirCannonFodder]

Been playing for as long as I can remember, so probably around the age of 3-ish, so ~18 years. First game I can remember beating on my own was Mortal Kombat for the MegaDrive/Genesis when I was around 6 or 7. Although it might have been Sonic 1, or Kirby's Adventure.

 

[mireko]

a) Honestly not too sure, probably 16-17 years (I'm 20 and have three older brothers, do the math).

b) Don't remember the name of it, some sidescrolling shooter. After that, Final Fantasy VII. Not a terribly interesting answer, but there you are.

c) Digital Devil Saga 2. Currently dividing my time between Lucifer's Call and Demon's Souls.

 

[Alex Cowan]

I have no idea. The earliest game I remember owning was Tonka Construction 2 for PC, which is less of a game and more of a 2D representation of the ZOMG CONSTRUCTION SITES ARE COOL 3-year-old mindset. First proper 'game' game would be Wacky Races (again with the tie-ins...) which was fairly awesome. Most recent *finished* would be Portal 2, as I've only been gaming on-and-off recently.

 

[PSIcho2468]

I'm 15 now and been gaming since I was three so for about 12 years. I can remember playing at my dad's house mario bros. 3 on his NES, that was the first time I can remember, it was either that or when my bro got super smash bros. I didn't start trying to pass games untill I got my PS2 so the first game I would've passed would be Resident Evil 4. The most recent game I have passed would be Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles

 

[Fwee]

~25 years
Started with the NES, and the first game I remember beating was Metroid.

 

[Super Toast]

About 11 years at this point.

 

[Vault boy Eddie]
