Hey hello dear gamers how are you doing today good? With me is great and good today dear gamers. I'm making sort of enquete here about how long are you are you gamer. My question is here when you start to gaming here and how long you're on gaming, so please answer this post seriously okay! So please tell me who you are and how long you're on gaming from start to still gaming progress please tell me about it okay? I want to start this sort of enquete. So here we go.

Hello gamers, my name is Mehmet Özkan and I'm a gamer from 1991 (I was 10 years old) with my starter game console that was ATARI 2000 with the game Pacman and Pitfall. That was a great game and I had even Donkey kong on ATARI 2000 (not sure of that it was the real name of the game) dear gamers! Still playing games and want to stay gamer and I decided on my age 18 (I guess it was the correct age) that I want to play the game till I die, so you can see I'm the extreme gamer ever you can imagine and I'm currently 21 (at 11 may 2013 on my birthday) 22 years gamer. If three years past and I want to gaming till 2016 and go on gaming (because I promised myself about gaming till I die) then can I make party of 25 years gaming party on 11 may 2016.
Because on that day and year I'm the 25 years gamer!

So my question is this, how long are you a gamer? Please answer it okay!

Since April.

OOC:	Couldn't resist. Serious answer: I started gaming in 1984

Moved to General Gaming.

I have been gaming since I could hold a joystick so probably 1985 or thereabouts.

1989
amiga 500, lotus 2 or turrican was my first game that i owned

before that c64, the mario brothers clone on tape at my crushes house

i was like 6 i dunno

Since about 6 when my pops would let me play Quake and Doom with him :)

I game long. I game hard. I game all night long. I long for when I had more game time.

Since I was about 7!

Around 1994 or so when I was 4, I remember playing Doom on my mom's co-workers computer or playing Wolfenstein on a macintosh that my dad had or an SNES that we rented from Movie Gallery.

23 or so years.

i've been gaming since '82/'83... i don't quite remember, i was like 7 or 8... i started on the Atari 2600 with games like Missile Command, Breakout, Frogger, QBert...

I've been gaming since 1994 (I was four years old). One of my first games was Super Mario Brothers All Stars. My brother and I both had a Super Nintendo.

I'm actually not a very long gamer. I'm only 5'2".

Eleven inches.

As a serious gamer only 21 years. I didn't get my first gaming system until 1991. I've been playing games since probably the mid eighties though.

My earliest memory was getting a Super Nintendo and Super Mario World. I remember seeing advertisements for Super Mario RPG before it came out, so I'd guess since 1994 (7 years old at the latest, though more likely 6.)

Quite literally I cannot remember a time in my life when I wasn't gaming. :p

I played a lot on Amiga 500s in the 90s. Let's just say I've been playing for over 20 years.

I started with the Atari 2600, when I was three, so...almost 25 years.

Oh how things have changed.

Since 1986 when my dad brought home an NES.
