How long have you been playing games?

I first started playing in 1989, and I'm only 16, lol! My first game was something like Playskool Firehouse Rescue. My first real game I played in kintergarten: Doom!!!

Heh, I still love to play Doom and the other classics. Anyways, I started playing when I was around 5-7; it was a game for Atari called Sudden Strike or something. It was this game where you were a helicopter and were on different missions. I loved that game, until Nintendo 64 came out.

Since before Civilization 1 and Frogger. Civ was great, I remember being so excited about Civ II when it came out. Those were the days. Ohh, that game called "Combat" for the atari, that was fun.

Been playing since the good old Commadore 64.

Loved Winter and Summer Olympics, my joysticks got hammered!

Ultima for Atari. Nuff said.

Since I was a wee bundle of caffiene-induced joy.

first ever game i can recall playing was captain comic, a dos game in 1990 on our first family pc, which was mainly used by dad for programming in turbo pascal, the beasty thing was a 286 with something like 128kb ram and 500mb hdd :D

I had consoles back in the day (when i was about 7)

forget your pc's and the internet :P then in 98 i got into pc's and the games were much better O_o

1998 was a big year for me.. when my family got onto the net (all be it 56k that we didn't get rid of till january 10 this year but still )

ive been playing games since before i can remember the good old spectrum when i was about 2 or 3 (i think i was that little) im 14 only been playing multi-player online and on lan for about a year to 18 months though

I am from Atari 2600 or something similar "Tanks" two players game, and before that, my own micro, a commodore 64 comp :D

I'm old enough to remember when there were no video games. My first was a stand up model space invaders in the corner of a pizza shop. Not long after, we got pong for the home and were totally amazed at being able to affect things on the tv screen!
