How old were you when you first started gaming?

[fatuglywierdbean]

About 5, playing harry potter and the philosiphers stone and pangea software games on my dad's mac.

[kaktoss]

Around 4 years old, started playing Unreal Tournament.

[LDX]

Probably 8? Or 9? It began when my dad got a tv ping pong machine

 

 

then the arcades asteroids, defender, invaders, crazy climber, pacman, then the atari......

 

 

First computer i ever had was a commodore vic20 with 3KB of ram and a cassette player as storage. (I miss that thing)

 

 

Then nintendo, playstation, and all others appeared in the scene

First attempt of 3d simulators i tried were a pc ancient game of formula 1 i think it was pole position. And a monoch arcade about tanks Battlezone perhaps?

 

 

 

 

Then doom, descent, quake, counterstrike, nfs, rogue squadron, rebel assault. Tomb raider, and dont remember the avalanch of games i was involved

Descent was Mindblowing for its time

 

 

Nowadays even when i play titanfall in triple monitors one of my favorites games is still asteroids

Ocarina of Time on the N64. WOOT.

 

I'm 25 now, so however old I was when the N64 and OoT came out.

Funnily enough i still own working originals of some of the Classic Atari games.

Battlezone, Space Invaders, Centapede, Defender, Dodge'em, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong (i think), Air see battle, Atlantis, Pac man, Breakout, Circus, Combat, Frogger (i think it was 'The Offical' version, not 1 or 2), keystone kappers, Mario Bros, Maze Craze, Missle Command, Oink!, Pole Position (i think), Riddle of the Spynx ( i think), Smurf ( i forget the full name), Warlords,  and ... i cant remember ,.. im sure iv missed some. i have a box full of Atari 2600jr cartridge games in the loft.

 

I also still have copys of Descent, Doom, DukeNukem 3d and all those other good early PC games, all really great games. And yea Descent was crazy good for the time. Think i was using a 486/100 bassed PC at the time.

Glad to see atleast a few people who played games from back then.
