I've been a gamer for 30 years and my first computer game was Arcadia for my Commodore Vic-20. Now I fell old! :rolleyes:

This is awesome. I have to say I'm actually surprised at the fact that so many of us have been doing this for half a decade or more. smiley: biggrin

The first consoles I played on where Atari Jaguar, Sega Dreamcast and Nintendo Gamecube. My first game was a little more than 10 years ago, but the real time since I was gaming isn't yet 10 years in the post.

I grew up on the "gaming" on the Atari 2600 console since I was a kid and progressed through other consoles as they became available on the market.



My first computer was a TI-99/4. So yeah... Suppose I'm in the "old" category as well.

Zelda 1. Not Ocarina of whatever. Zelda 1. On NES. That was awesome, and you had a second quest where the lovcation of everything had been moved. That was really hard to beat.

Still on eof my favorite games of all time (with Zelda 2, even if I must say I agree with the fact that it's less fun. But, he... I've spent so much time on Zelda 2)

June 1991 was the first time I played a video game, 24 days after my 3rd birthday so that would mean 4 weeks away from 21 years of gaming. I would imagine I played some forms of games before then but I don't remember them so that would leave 21 years video gamer, about 19 years board gamer, 9 years table top war gamer.

It all started when I was a 4 years old... My mom dropped me off at my babysitters house... My babysitter found these so called 'video games' as good kid entertainers while she did whatever she did. She asked me if I wanted to play Nintendo, and that's when it happened... 'What's a Nintendo?' I said. My life has never been the same. I played the very first Mario party and beat the game, played Rampage and got really good at eating people. The babysitter never looked at the ratings. But soon I had my own Nintendo64 and became a champion at Super Smash Bros and Mario Cart 64. After that my life has been a blur...

Let see, I started on an IBM in 1990, played games like CornCob 3D, Lemmings, Castle Adventure... plus many educational games (in addition to teaching myself Dos) at the ripe young age of 2 lol

I've been a gamer for aslong as I can remember. The first thing I can remember playing was revolution X and Gain Ground on the Sega Genesis. Good times back then

I'm totally counting those. I had one for just about each grade level until High School.
