I was either 4 or 5. Can't remember if my game boy pocket or Amiga came first
About 3. Intellivision's "Astro Smash" and "Frogger", Pong arcade, Space Thunderbird table top. Crack kills.
Can't remember. It was far too long ago. 2 1/2? 3? It would've been around 1987 though. It was a computer called the Commodore 64 and I have no idea what my first game was - I was playing games before I can remember - but it probably would've been something like Pac-Man or Donkey Kong.
There was never really a moment where I decisively started gaming, games have just always been a part of my life.
Can't remember exactly but I remember my Oma giving us a NES for Christmas. (Ya I'm that old) and I've been hooked ever since!
I was 5, and started with a Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. :)
I was 4 and it was a PC
4 or 5. My dad had a NES with Tecmo Bowl, Ikari Warriors, Simon's Quest, TLoZ, Platoon and a karate game.
Probably 6-7 and on NES.
The very first time I played a game was at the age of three or four with either the old pong system or Frogger on atari. I started gaming at five when my dad brought home an NES.
Wow.....you sure know how to make a gal feel old for being 10 when she started :whoa:
It's quite the opposite, really. You're the "younger" gamer :p
No quotations needed here, you are just a little younger than me :p
I think 6, the beauty that was the Amiga 1200.
I was four. It was the Nes and I played Mega Man 4 and R.C. Pro AM.
I was probably about 5 and it was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128K!
Funnily enough, MissH just bought me one for Christmas and it's in really good condition. I used to spend hours playing Chuckie Egg, Horace Goes Skiing, Airwolf, Matchday II, Dizzy, Frogger, Daley Thompson's Decathlon, Jet Set Willy... the list was endless!
Quite young as I was my older brothers player 2. First console I played was the mega drive and black and white Gameboy pocket. So I'd say around 6 :)
Good point. I'm so young.....so.....adorably inexperienced.Quote:

I was about 4
Was 6 or 7. Super Mario Brothers 3 on the NES. Couldn't get pass the first jump for 3 hours.
Around 4 or 5 on the NES.
I can't remember how old I was, other than early secondary school, but we had someone renting a room in our house, and he let me borrow his PS1. It had a helicopter game (Apache Assault? Something like that) and chess on it, and I played it tonnes. When he moved away, he let me keep it, saying I'd get more use out of it than he.
I can't remember what happened between then and buying FFIX. But that's the next stage of my gaming life. My friend and I were in Insane Games on the Avenue, and I liked the look of this game. My friend told me Final Fantasy games are crap, but I bought it anyway. Platinum, no booklet. Ended up accidentally stealing the booklet a few years later, and I still have that very same copy. :]
I was either three or four. I gave conflicting reports because my memory is a bit fuzzy. The first thing I remember is being four, having a dream about my family, and then getting out of the bed I had in the living room at the time and looking out the window. Yet, I also remember playing the second Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle games with my brother, but I was still sleeping in a crib at the time. Because it was a two bedroom duplex and I didn't have anywhere else to sleep until we had money for a futon. So either or.
Anyway, it was the NES. My brother had Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt, Karate Champ, JAWS, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Uncanny X-Men, the first two Ninja Turtles games, one of the three Ninja Gaiden games, Paper Boy, and Super Mario Brothers 2, and I loved them. He had the first two Zelda games as well, but wouldn't let me play them. The jerk.
I think I was 10 when I've played Super Mario Bros. on Pegasus (a clone of Famicom).
That was a wonderful time! :dance:
About 2- 3 years old if you count slamming the keys on my Uncle's Atari and watching my older siblings play.
Age 3 or 4, on the Atari 2600.
