[Mighty Lighty]

[PureChaos]

think i was about 5 or 6 and we got a NES with Mario and Duck hunt. it all started there

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

I started when I was about 3 or 4 although on a second hand nes I still started.

 

[Fraught]

I was around 5 or 6 when I started playing PS1. Good ol' Spyro and Crash.

I agree. I did have a NES, but that was for some weeks, but then I got a PS1, and THAT was what got me into gaming.

Also those, Spyro in particular, was and is one of the most memorable video game characters to me.

I was about 4 when I got my ps1, and that was where it really started for me. I have been hooked ever since then, and even then it was having a negative effect on my schoolwork.

My first games were Spyro and Crash Bandicoot.

 

[Monocle Man]

I believe I was around 5 when I started gaming. I was 6 when I got a Gameboy Colour with Pokémon Blue.

Well my first console was the old 8-bit Nintendo and I was about 7-8 years old. Wow, now that I think about it, I was really behind in consoles as I believe the Nintendo 64 was out at the time, oh well. Super Mario was one of my few games on it back then I played casually.

Then I moved onto the Playstation 1 and that's when I really started gaming. Bring in Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Final Fantasy and many other awesome games I liked back then.

 

[El Poncho]

I was like 9 or something.

 

[Altorin]

got an NES when I was 2. I've been playing since then.

My mother played the first Mario game on the NES and beat it, while I was in the womb.

So yeah, I guess you could say I've been gaming since I was a fetus.

 

[tombman888]

[10BIT]

Computer at the grand age of 0 years old. Don't know the number of months when I started, but I know that by 10 months I was able to use dos without any help.

 

[nathan-dts]

4 years old. Had PlayStation, N64 and Dreamcast. I don't remember any games for the Dreamcast but I remember playing the Crash games, the Spyro games and some Bugs Bunny games for the PlayStation and Mario 64 and some Yoshi game on N64.

Edit: 2 years old I was playing Minesweeper.
Double Edit: It was customised so there were like 10 mines.

 

[Goldeneye103X2]

I beliave my first game was on the original playstation. You played as this ball which moved around 3D gravity-less style levels, and you callected points and avoided traps. I believe i was about 6 or 7.

 

[AndyFromMonday]

6 years old. Played Solitaire. Well it's technically a game...

 

[KaiRai]

I was 5, although I'd have clicked on the ultrasound if it wasn't a DS

 

[Ophiuchus]

I was very young when I first started playing on the Spectrum... 4 or 5. There was a Commodore 64 at some point too.

I got my first console (Sega Master System FTW!) when I was 7 or 8.
