How long have you been gaming?

[Rulza]

I've been gaming for about 8 years.

GBC was my first console, love it.

 

[Hitto]

I remember the wacky Breakout controllers when I was like three years old... So I'd put myself in the 25-year range.

 

[Skye07]

First time I played games mustve been when I was 4 or 5 or so, I'm almost 18 now.

 

[Chotaz]

about 10 years started with Genesis/GBCPocket and Sega Saturn, im 15

 

[FAST6191]

16-20 years category unless my liking of games was prenatal (Black Sabbath: Iron Man was apparently the song that sent me to sleep as a baby but metal =/= games).

 

[Sonicslasher]

back in the day of sega genesis, I was 7.

 

[Deleted User]

Ahh the BBC microcomputer. Memories....

Very early 1980s was my first, two quarters, a chair, and Pac-Man waiting at the A&W in Lake Arrowhead, CA.

I still have my glass mug from that day.

1985 if you want to get into home gaming, one of the original 100k~ NES units to hit the LA Market when it was there and NYC (and it still works!) Though I did have experience a bit with my mom's best friends console they had from the mid/late 70s the Fairchild Channel F system. My mom had one too I learned and it was hooked into a TV for a bit too but that was after I found it much later in the garage.


By the way what's up with voting for the stuff over like 35 years? Were you like that one dork who used the university oscilloscope to play Space War and Pong before it was called that?

 

[xalphax]

some years ago, psx was my first console.

 

[bfoos]

About 28 years. Space Invaders on the Atari 2600.

 

[gh0ul]

my first game is the good old super mario for the NES back in 1990...so 17 years. man, that game changed everything..

 

[DjoeN]

Pong, must be around 30 years ago or longer, dunno it was on a computer from my uncle (he was architect)
I went there every holiday to play with my nephews as kid.

I remmeber it being a black case and working with tapes, you culd connect 2 paddles and the only game the had on it was pong

 

[VmprHntrD]

I think those home Pong setups are at that 30-32yr mark by now.

 

[skyfire1]

I played Sonic 1 on the Sega Genesis. That's actually the third thing I've ever remember doing.

 

[myuusmeow]

Ever since my sister showed me Super Mario Land on the old brick I wanted to game.

And a few years later I got that chance.

My mom gave me a Gameboy Color. I loved it.

So about 7-8 years now.

My thumbs twitched for some tactile controller buttons when I was in my mother's womb.
