I have been playing video games for about 23 years. My first console was the Sega Master System, though I had played on the NES, Atari 2600 and Intellivision/Colecovision at friends houses before that.

The first game I actually "finished" was Casino Games on the Sega - you win by earning $1,000,000 and therefore breaking the bank. Since I don't really feel like that counts, I'll go ahead and mention that I finished Alex Kidd in Miracle World, the game that was built into the Sega Master System.

The last game I finished was... uh... Portal 2? Since then I've restarted Fallout New Vegas because my savegame was all jacked up, and just this week I started playing Crysis 2 though I've been playing more multiplyer... more than I expected I would really.

 

[bpricems]

a) Since '84 on the Atari so that would be...27 years.
b) Megaman 2 on the NES
c) Bioshock

 

[Sir Rammington Steel]

I've been playing since I was eight or so. About twelve years I guess.

First game I ever beat, I think it was Pokémon Red.

Most recent game I beat was Golden Sun, the first one.

1. I've been gaming for 27 years, since I was 4 - I'll let you work out my age

2. The first game I ever finished was either Midnight Resistance for the Spectrum 128k or Aliens in the arcades (produced by Konami). Back when I started playing, it was uncommon for games to actually have endings. The motivation to play was score and the sheer enjoyment of it all.

3. The last game I finished was Splinter Cell: Conviction (about to finish Dragon Age 2).

 

[Ronarch]

When I was six, I got a Gameboy color and Age of Empires II. Never looked back since.

 

[russkiimperial]

1. 17 years since I was ten
2. First game finished... either Sword of Vermillion or Chakkan the Forever Man, both great Sega Genesis classics.
3. Last game finished would be Shogun 2

 

[Antari]

Far too long it seems. I've been gaming since the first games were available, along with the first computers that were available to the public. The earliest game I can remember is either Pong or the origional Apple version of Asteroids.

 

[GlenTheFox]

I've been gaming since I was three. My earliest memories are of playing Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES. So I've been playing games for sixteen, going on seventeen, years. I don't really remember what the first game I finished was, they all sort of run together...The last one I beat was Ocarina of Time: Master Quest, without any walkthroughs or hints or the like. Before that was Portal 2.

 

[Trololo Punk]

Well, got a game-boy to teach myself how to use my hands again when i was 3, so about 12 years now, me being 15.
First game i finished that i can remember was either Mario 64, or banjo-kazooie.
Last game, secrets of monkey island on the xbox live arcade.

 

[Maskedman27]

a)Been Gaming since I could talk, and i'm 20 now, so yeah.

b)First Game i remember finishing is Super Mario 64, with my dad helping alot, but i had a sega genesis too

c)Most recent game i finished was Halo Reach, never got around to doing the campaign and finished it yesterday in co-op

 

[Kiltguy]

Holy crapola!

1. Vector graphics hm... I been gaming for twenty-five, I was fresh back in the days of "Press play on tape" (C64) and "blow me" (NES)... yeah, I been at it quite a while.

2. First game I can recall ever beating? Must Have been Mega Man... I can still remember the adrenalin rush I got from beating Dr. Wily... man that was intense.

3. Latest game I beat the crap out of? Hmm... must have been Persona 3 FES on the PS2.


That is all...

 

[szs0061]

first game i remember finishing would have to be either banjo kazooie or donkey kong 64 so i guess ive been playing for around 13 years and the most recent game for me, well i have been playing league of legends lately so i havent really "finished" any

 

[NightlyNews]

If you actually read all the pages of this thread please sound off.

I mean I guess it's kinda interesting if I knew the community better, but this question merely boils down to a number between 1 and 50 and although 40+ might be pretty interesting I'm too lazy to read through it all to think: Hey that bastards been gaming for twice as long as I've been alive.

 

[Grabbin Keelz]

When I was three I went to a babysitter's house. There were three other guys who hung out there and played games. I watched them play Sonic 2 and Super Mario 64 and instantly fell in love with the whole thing.

I'm 18 now and I got my first SNES when I was like 4, so I guess 14 years.

 

[William Ossiss]

since i was able to pick up a controller. first game? the original mario. last game? portal 2. for the fifth time.

 

[Srs bzns]

a) 10 years, which pales in comparison to some.
b) Crash Bandicoot: Warped
c) Halo: Reach. So many on my to finish list, so little time. That includes replaying Reach on Legendary.

 

[RanD00M]

Since I was 10 or 11 so 6 or 7 years now.

 

[stygN]

I was around 3-4 playing snake and frogger on MSDOS, but I never really completed those games.. I'm 24 now, so that makes it 20 years plus..

First game to complete was Price of Persia, but we used cheat codes.. So I guess it doesn't count..

First I completed legit.. Dang.. I think we have to go as recent as Red Alert 2... That somehow makes me feel young..

Last game I completed was Mount & Blade: Warband to the extent that you can complete the game (it doesn't have an actual goal). Had an awesome character, awesome companions, an awesome army, a ton of cash and the faction I supported owns every single bit of land.. So yeah.. I guess I completed it : )

I play a lot of games, but many times I don't finish it, or play games that you cant really finish.. Like.. Counter Strike..

 

[Vault101]

Id say properly about a year

however Ive been obsessed and playing everything I could get my hands on since forever, mainly old PC titles and the N64
