Poll: How old were you when you started gaming?

[crudus]

I was 3 or 4 when I started playing Sonic on Sega.

 

[Nevyrmoore]

I'm not sure of the exact age, but lets go with 0-3, when I started with some treasure hunting game on the Commodore 64.

 

[Jurassic Rob]

I was a sweet wide eyed innocent boy back then (6), now I'm just a wide man!

 

[Whistler777]

I was but a lad of four years when I first grasped the N64's tri-pronged goodness and quickly set off to blow away dinosaurs with exotic weaponry. Maybe I should've waited a bit longer to be introduced to Turok: Dinosaur Hunter...

 

[Randomeaninglessword]

My whole life, first consoles were my brother's NES and SNES

 

[letsnoobtehpwns]

Either 3 or 4. I played Donkey Kong Country at the hotel my family was staying at.

 

[Volstag9]

I think i started between 4 and 6.

 

[Anarien]

About 3. My mom played games a lot and I wanted in.

[thatstheguy]

I was 3 playing Mario 64. I was too young to really comprehend what to do, so I just ran around and did stuff.

i started back in 1980, i was 4 years old at the time. i took to it like a duck to water & never looked back.

 

[Daedalus1942]

I was roughly 3-4 years of age, and my first game ever was Sonic the Hedgehog II for the Sega Master System (Genesis). I guess that's why I have a soft spot in my heart for the little blue hedgehog who became Sega's mascot.

 

[Aqualung]

Eight years old when I played my first video game: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Needless to say, since then, my standards for a 'good game' have been set reasonably high.

 

[Eternal_24]

I'd say 4 or 5.

 

[Pm0n3y]

I don't really remember when i started gaming, the only memory of this is a picture of me when i was really young with pajamas on, my Barney slippers and a controller in my hand. i just remember having a sega genesis and sonic the hedgehog. it's funny, because i don't remember seeing commercials or even asking for the genesis. it was just...always there. and i still play it today.

My First System was a Intellivision when I was 3 years old, then got the NES when I was 4 and have had almost every major system up until a few years back and the pc stole my soul.

 

[teisjm]

I was about 3-4 when i started playing commander keen, but i guess i did play games even earlier

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

4. SNES was way more epic back then

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Five years old with a Sega Genesis.
