    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

    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!

    About 2- 3 years old if you count slamming the keys on my Uncle's Atari and watching my older siblings play.
