Back in 2002 with the Nintendo gamecube.  I was 5.  Some of the first games I played were Zelda: The Wind Waker, and Sonic Adventure 2.  I don't remember the specifics of how I started PC gaming.  Minecraft was a big contributor, though.

Computer users fall into two groups:
those that do backups
those that have never had a hard drive fail.

Probably like 7 but only weird learning games :/

My first real gaming experience came later with 12 or so when i started playing Battlefront 2. This game influenced my whole life and is probably still one of the best multiplayer games lol.

*fun fact*

I didnt know but i really sucked at the game so that one day a dude asked me if i was playing with my dick but my english was really bad so i was just confused xD

If anyone is up for some Battlefront 2 in the near future (mid august) just text me! :D

Got an Xbox Original (because we cant use One thanks to the moronic name of the "new" gen) for Christmas in 2001, and Halo was the first game I owned. But I used to play FIFA 98 on my friend's PS1. So, 2? 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

Back when I was 5, in 1996. Super Metroid was the very first game I ever played.

 

I still have the physical copy of that game, and it still works. You just gotta blow on it a few times. Just like the good old day.

The first ever game I picked up was Pokemon red on the Gameboy colour after I got it for my birthday. I can't remember how old i was buy I would say around 8. After a amount of time I got bored with it and started playing sports after school *shudder*. I would occasionally play such classics such as Enigma: Rising Tide, and Cars: The Video Game, rocking that windows XP machine bought from Best Buy. On my 13th birthday I got a white PlayStation 2 for my birthday, mind you I was completely oblivious to the existence of the PS3 and Xbox system that were out. Ever since that day I was pretty much playing games every day. Eventually I came across the wonders of YouTube and started watching and reading about how I could build a computer for myself.

Good God I'm old LOL.  My oldest cousin had an Atari 2600 and I started playing when I was... I'd say 5 or 6.  that was a few decades back.  Back in elementary school our Apple computers, before the Macintosh was released, had King's Quest.  When I turned 18, I bought my first PC... a Compaq from Staples...  I've built every single PC I've ever owned since then.  Hell I remember buying the Voodoo 3d card when it was released for kick ass Quake gaming at Electronic Boutique LOL.

i was 14 years old when i started gaming . we bought our first PC in 2005-6 . i used to spend hours doing all kind of stuff on my PC .( i was very curious to know how it works so without any knowledge i did different experiments on my PC and finally after approx 1 year it stopped working :D ) . But it actually helped me to get basic knowledge about peripherals .
