I've been playing videogames since the early to mid 1980s when my folks took me to a resort in Wisconson called Lake Lawn Lodge. I liked playing the arcade games there.

WOW, I remember playing Route 16 in the arcade there.

25 years of age, and I remember playing Football on a Texas Instruments TV computer before I received a NES for a Christmas present.

Dyne · Oct 9, 2004

17/15. When I was a toddler my parents would hold me up to arcade cabinets and I thought I was playing. I also had an Apple 2c at home I apparently played Lemonade on. I started console gaming around my 5th birthday with the start of the SNES.

LukeSmith · Oct 9, 2004

24 next week, been playing since I was 6 or 7. Though for awhile I got out of games, (during the late part of the 16-bit cycle) FFVII got me back into games.

Scrow · Oct 9, 2004

I'm 22. My first gaming system was the Game Boy, but I was playing games long before then in the arcades and on other people's consoles.

I'm 19 and I first played video games 16 years ago. I didn't own a video game system until 15 years ago, I didn't own a living system until 11 years ago, and I didn't own a "modern" console until 6 years ago.

Lemurnator · Oct 9, 2004

28, been fascinated by computers since as long as I can remember. Got my first computer/console (a philips videopac) when I was 5. Learned how to count on it before I could even read...

TekunoRobby · Oct 9, 2004

Started on a hand me down pong system and quickly got an Atari. My sister was 6 so technically the Atari was for her but damn I loved playing that thing. Then I quickly moved on to PC games and the rest at the tender age of 4. It's what happens when your dad is a tech geek and the General Manager of IBM Venezuela (ie: COMPUTERS IN THE HOUSE AND THE CHILDREN MUST BE TEH COMPUTATIONAL MASTERS OF TIME AND SPACE!!!!). I've been ruined since birth!

DCharlie · Oct 9, 2004

The obsession started when my mom bought be an NES for my birthday. My first games were Super Mario Bros. & Duck Hunt (of course), Ducktales, Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers, and Excitebike. To this day, whenever I see Ducktales or Rescue Rangers on TV, I get all emotional and nostalgic.

You have to realize that video games killed my life. I was a kid that enjoyed running around doing kid stuff, but after video games I did the outside stuff much less. That carries on today. I sat around this evening watching movies, playing Katamari Damacy, playing Starcraft, and posting on a gaming board. I know scores of video game inside jokes. I'm a geek.

Oddly enough, I don't harbour a grudge against video games at all. I embrace video games wholeheartedly. And while video games killed that life, they gave me a whole new one. And this spawn-point is infinitely better.

I wouldn't either if it weren't for my sister and parents. Hell I just have extremely vague memories of pong and Atari when I was a kid. Apparantly I LOVED those machines.
