How old were you when you first started gaming?

0...I was born to game!

[MaDoHo]

I think I played my first game when I was 5 or something, don't know what it was called though, you had an aircraft and flew up a map with enemies coming at you, arcade-like. My interrest started with SC when I was like 6-7 or something, didn't know what was going on, didn't understand english that well, but man was I thrilled.

When i was 5 maybe, i had a NES with mario, duck hunt, and a cartridge with like 100 game on it (dont remember the actual name of it) funny how many people started at 6 with like a xbox, the tech community is really young.

My first experience gaming was on an Atari 2600 (my grandparents had one at their house), but I probably started legit gaming at around seven or eight. Lego Star Wars: The Video Game pulled me in. Started playing on some mini itx box, then moved up to a Pentium II system with an AMD 4850 before finally getting into PC gaming and building my personal rig.

My first memory would be Tetris on a PC and Mario on the NES when I was about 5. Gaming has been one of my many core hobbies and passions since.

4 years old, on the Sega Saturn or whatever it was called. me ol' memories gone bad

[TheNinjaNextDor]

5 or 6 with browser games and a GBA.

[EChondo]

About two or three years old.

 

I was playing Adiboo(PC);

 

And I was playing PS1(Digimon and Spyro) and N64(Mario mostly). Then moved onto the original Xbox(Halo and a bunch of other games) and then around 2005 started playing CS 1.6 and CS:S and in 2007 got a 360 and stopped playing that around two years ago.

 

Now, just a PC gamer.

It seems that everybody was 4-5 years old when they started first gaming. Should I make a poll?

 

EDIT: wow, six pages, all dem ages!!!!1

[chaozbandit]

5 playing Pokemon Gold on a Gameboy Colour, then moved onto Runescape / Counterstrike Source on a P4.

[WiiManic]

Hm, not too sure, but like most people probably like 4?

 

Sonic on a mega drive (probably about 9 years old at this point, was my Dads) was my first game I can properly remember playing.

[TheTechyBrit]

I think I was about 4 or 5 so it must have been 2005/2006. I played Crash Bandicoot on my dad's PS2... still wish they would release a new game

[Vader]

5ish and I started on the n64 playing Star Fox and The Legend of Zelda: OOT. Then when the ps2 came out I got that and played Kingdom Hearts 2 for months and months. Then guitar hero on the wii, and then I got a xbox in 7th grade, moved to strictly PC gaming this year.
