How old were you when you first started gaming?

[Guest]

Pretty straight forward question, how old were you when you first started gaming?

 

I was probably 3. So in 2005 i think? I was rockin a pentium II beast, that couldn't play any games that were gifted to my brother for his birthday.

I was 7 when I got my first xbox, that was also when HL2 released on xbox and I dedicated many summer hours to playing "We don't go to Ravenholm"

 

edit: PC gaming started when I was 11 at the end of the Alpha stage in Minecraft.

I played Pokemon Emerald when I was 3. Shortly after I started playing Club Penguin.

[loccilucas]

[aricleather]

I think I was 4 or 5 years old. We got the Wii and the PS2 when they both first came out. Unfortunately, until I was like 10, all my games had to be rated E, and it couldn't have a single thing beside E, like cartoon violence or whatever. My Mom was so mad at my Dad when he got me Super Mario Galaxy 2 a couple days after it came out because it had mild cartoon violence. Then someone got me COD: WAW for my birthday then she didn't care after that. Now I'm almost 13

6, playing star wars revenge of the sith on my nintendo

I first started when I was 6 with this Noah's Ark game (raised in a Christian household). I didn't even realize it was DOS. Anyway, I remember the boss fights, especially the lion being frightening.

o god is that a clone of Wolfenstein 3D? From killing nazi soldiers to putting animals to sleep lol
