When did you start gaming?

[Sick boy]

I started gaming when I was 4, I played age of empiries everyday for at least a few hours and I was on and off on a few forgotten games, quite a lot of 64 up until grade 4 when my gaming became an addiction, with counter-strike then wow and now cod 4 and L4D, those are the main games that would map out my gaming history, with hundreds of games in between.

Atari 2600 Jr. when I was five back in '88 with Pac Man, Ms Pac Man, Defender, Pitfall, E.T. Some tank game (forgot its name) and too many others to remember. At 26 and still going in with my 360 and Wii.

When I was very young. Around the age of 6 0r 7 I do believe on the original PONG box made by Atari. After that it was the Atari 2600, Commadore 64, and then the NES.

Well when I was a baby I would sit in my dad's lap as he played Intellivision and I started playing (rather than holding the controller and pretending to play) the NES at about 4 I guess.

Tetris or Paperboy when I was about 4 I think.

Around '89... HOLY SHIT i am old. Some hand-held thingy... Karate game, cheap LCD green/black display with predrawn characters. (I think it had 3 positions, all three in duck and with either kick and punch and ONE foe which just got fater and trickier as the levels progresses. i know i got to lvl 18 i think.

After that folowed a Gameboy, then a PC... and i got myself a C64 and a Schneider CPC following that (they were MINE the PC was my Mom's) And then, i think '98 i got my first POWERFUL gaming PC... since then i am forever lost in gaming *g*

Ah one of the best PC's i have ever had 266 MHz, Pentium II, 32 MB Ram... bought a 250DM ~120 Euro videocard for that thing... awesome.

When I was four, my dad showed me how to hold an NES controller. It was adorable, like gaming with training wheels. Three months later I had beaten the game, discovered half the secrets and moved on to The Legend of Zelda.

Think i started gaming around the age of 6-7 years.
I got a nes with supermario for christmas... and of course i got the flu at the same time... so my older brothers ripped the nes from my hands and played all day long while i was chained to the bed -_-

I was almost born with an NES controller in my hand - my mom got her NES when I was only a few months old.
