How old were you when you first started gaming?

Then along came cds, did you ever get mr blobby cds from friends or computer markets, they where full of games and apps

 Can´t say I have, I live in Mexico and by that time it was very hard to get PC games, I had to go to Radioshack to buy them, until 1997, different magazines from spain were imported to Mexico, lucky for us they came with a lot of shareware and freeware games, that was when I played Duke Nukem 3D for the first time and I have to quit the game and play in secret due the pixelated boobs, lol.

You know what? I'm going to add something more to the post! What's your first OS experience?

 

I was first rockin windows 2000 with a classic theme, then we installed XP, again, classic theme... Then because a hard drive and power supply exploded on our computer we took something from our aunt which was rocking 95.

 

Then our dad bought us a pc with core 2duo e6700, 2 gigs of ram and a 9600gt (playing battlefield 3 on low, 1280x800 on 40 fps, might even do a benchmark) which had Windows Vista, then we installed Windows 7, and on my new laptop i now have Windows 8.1

lmao i know what you mean about Duke Nukem 3D i use to laugh when he would go in the strip club as i could see my mums face throwing... i too got a lot of games from the pc mags as it was the only thing i could afford back then with my pocket money and they had so many freeware programs and games it was foolish not to. I think that was the only game that topped Rise Of The Triads for me at the time.

Welcome to the forums, glad your first post was on my very own topic!

you're welcome i thought your topic to be very interesting brought me through memory lane  and thanks for the warm welcome

[BloodWithIce]

I was 5 and my mum bought me my first PS1 and I used to play muppet monster adventure all the time. 

[DIV1D3]

Was three, :') the mystical days of GBA and GameBoy Colour. 

[AMICLG]

When I was 3-4 playing Super Mario Bros. on the N64 and Street Fighter on the Sega Genesis.

[pbenologa]

5! I was playing prince of persia on windows back in '99. And Mario Dos too.

[APrettyCoolWalrus]

I was around 4 or 5 when I watched my brother play GTA:SA on the PS2 and I played it sometimes (he told me that the stuff pouring out of the "sleeping" people was ketchup), and I got a DS around 7. I got my PS3 when I was 9 and played that until I was 12. The summer when I was twelve was when I got a gaming laptop, and this year (i'm 13) I got my desktop.

[Verne]

I think I was 4 years old when I first experienced Super Mario Bros. on NES back in 1990.

I didn't choose the thug life. The thug life chose me. 

I didn't choose the thug life; my mother picked it out for me.

[Simmytu]

I started to game on an AMD Athlon based PC. I was then playing Crash Day back in 2006 when I was 7 years old. In 2011 I started to build interest in PC hardware.

[SolarNova]

Im actualy rather surprised at how young most of the LTT members seem to be, if this thread is anything to go by atleast.

[Zombater]

Back in '010 when I was nine.

 

I'm newer to gaming, and I like playing videogames, and want to be a game developer.
