Well lets see...

When I was a child, and I forget exactly what age I was at the time, I played two demos at a Fred Meyers electronics department demo of the NES. I played Mike Tysons Punch Out, and The Legend of Zelda. These games are hot at the time, and since they were on demo, I can only assume they were new. I BEGGED my parents for an NES. I got one not to much longer.. which is really a miracle, considering they were divorced, and the system/games were more expensive than either one could really afford. My dad scraped together enough cash to buy me an NES with two games; Top Gun, and Breakthrough.

I think I was five or six at the time. That would be... mmm, 1986 or 1987, Goodness.

 

[dyre]

hmm, about 9 or 10 years

first game: Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
last game so far: Dragon Age 2; working on The Witcher 2

 

[LiberalSquirrel]

I've been gaming 16 years (since I was 5).

First game I remember finishing was Super Mario Bros on the SNES.

The most recent game I finished was... mm... a replay of Tales of Symphonia, I think, though I could be forgetting something.

 

[DustyDrB]

Errr...let's. I started really young. Kindergarten age...so I'll say 4 or 5 (we'll go with 5). I continued gaming until I was a freshman in high school (I was 14 then, I think), and then took a five year break (until a friend of mine in college had Knights of the Old Republic on his Xbox and I just had to give it a go. Gaming changed a lot in those five years). I guess you can say I started back gaming the, but I didn't get my own console until two years later. What gaming I did in the mean time was on my roommates 360 and it was sparse. My own first console of this generation was a Wii in 2007, then a 360 in 2008, and then a PS3 this past December.

Not much of a pedigree, really. I didn't have many games growing up, either. I just played Zelda and Mario games to death (I started making up my own goals and storylines). Let's just say I've made up for lost time the last few years.

 

[kommando367]

About 12 or 13 years. Since I was 5 or 6 years old.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

A) I've been gaming since I was 2. Thanks Dad, for a combination of pseudo-negligence and an appreciation of games. This was back in 1990 or so. That puts me at about 21 years of gaming.

B) The first game I remember finishing was Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo but I feel as though I've beaten the original Super Mario long before then. I was about 7 when I beat SMW but SMB was one of the first games I've ever played.

C) I recently beaten Portal 2. I'm working on beating Assassin's Creed 2 at the moment.

 

[Aaron Pope]

I have been playing games since I was probably 3 or 4 years old so that would be like, 13 0r 12 years now. I can't be sure but I think the first game I ever finished was pokemon yellow on the original gameboy, you know, the bigger and no colour one.The latest game I finished recently is Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and I don't mean finished as in just the long dull campaign I mean 100% everything found and completed finished.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

a) For how many years have you been playign video games

At least nine.

b) What is the first game you REMEMBER finishing

...I don't know if I ever finished many games when I first began, I just replayed levels I enjoyed. I think Halo: Combat Evolved.

c)what is the last game you finished

Portal 2, around two months ago.

 

[Nexoram]

A.)Well, I'm 14 now and I've been playing since i was 5ish. (I think =p)
B.)Can't actually remember if i finished it, but I do remember that I played the hell out of Red Alert 2. AND i was like 9 at the time
C.)I'm pretty sure Black Ops was the last game I finished.

 

[Leole]

A) I've been gaming since I was... I think 6 year old, so that gives me 11 years of gaming, though, I'd say only 6 of those count, since I only started playing more seriously that while ago.

B) The first game I remember playing is Snafu for the Atari 2600. I still have the cartridge, right here, on my desk. Finishing 100%, I think Banjo Kazooie, since I never owned a NES or SNES, I played over my cousin's.

C) Recently beaten Mass Effect 2, and currently waiting for my Portal 2 and InFamous 2 to get delivered. I'm also playing Oblivion for the 7th (7th?) time, and Fallout 3 DLCs. Pretty fun.

 

[SodaDew]

I would say since I was 5 or 6 so since 1998. My parents old GB game Dexter(not TV show)Its a game about flipping types in patterns it was FUN!But my first game was ether Star wars Pod racers or Yoshi's Story. Last game I completely finished? idk I never finish games 100% but probably COD:WaW and soon LOZ: Ocarina of Time (again)

 

[emeraldrafael]

Honestly? I've been gaming since i was three. The first game I finished was a sesame street video game.

So thats 16 years.

the last game i fiinished was pokemon white, cause I just beat the elite four (which to me counts as winning).

 

[Kuilui]

Almost eighteen years now. Started with the SNES.

 

[StellarViking]

I played and beat Super Mario Land 2 when I was five. The first game I remember playing was Tetris, and I also remember playing Wolfenstein 3D (I found it on a CD somewhere) and a vertical-scrolling air shooter called Raptor: Call of the Shadows. I'm 21 now so that's sixteen years. The last game I finished was Pokemon Black.

 

[babinro]

Roughly 25 years. Our first console was an Atari (can't remember the version) and was eventually followed by Commodore 64 which was my first serious period into gaming. I believe I was about 5 when I started playing, but my memory isn't great.

From there I've mostly followed Nintendo with the NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, and PS3, DS, and a gaming PC rig.

While I've always been into gaming...it's not always been a primary hobby. There have been numerous times when I've gone 6+ months without playing a game. Though I've had no such lull in the last 5 years or so.

First Game I remember beating: Ghostbusters for Commodore
Last Game I've won: Recettear (soon to be a replaying of inFamous)

 

[syd95]

I remember walking through the Commissary playing my Gameboy Color and almost running into people, so I was about 4 or 5, so about 11 years or so. First game I've beaten was probably Sly 3. Last game I've finished was Portal 2.

 

[DarkhoIlow]

I've been gaming for 19 years(24yo at the moment).At the age of 5 I went with my mother to the seaside and my first game was Super Street Fighter on the arcade coin games if I remember correctly.

The first game I finished was a few years later after my dad sent me an black and white old school Gameboy with Super Mario on it.

The last game I've finished was a few hours ago and was Clive Barker's Jericho.According it's an old game,my most recent(as in released this month) game was Witcher 2:Assassin's of Kings.

 

[RoboPenguin]

I don't remember my first game. My dad got me into gaming as soon as I was old enough to work a keyboard. I have early rememberances of point and click adventure games. There was a little car in a zoo and a Reader Rabbit game.

First game I finished... I think it was the first Command and Conquer.

Last game I finished: Solomon's Keep, a few hours ago.
