<div class="IPBDescription">Quick survey</div> Since when have you guys been playing games? And when I mean games, I mean like video games.

At what age you got your first game? And at what age you've been playing iy?

Well, I got my first video game before I was born. Me mom used to play it. I started to actually play the games when I was 2, in my old Mega Drive (which i still have!!)

    I remember playing Dark Castle around the same time as you first played Duck Hunt... We got our first Nintendo around the time of SMB2 (I think I was 5 or 6). What happened to your postcount??

    I remember playing Nibbles on my Apple 2c with the amber and black display when I was 4 or 5. Good times.

    Since I got my Commodore 64 at the age of 4. According to my mam, I asked for one. Lord knows how I knew about it at that age...

    Duck Hunt was mad fun. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Also, I had Marik reset it.

    Duck hunt, and later a few games on the Sega.

    My first computer game was a turn-based strategy called Conquest, then a driving sim called "Stunt Driver."

    And then, the blissful glory that was MechWarrior II.

    I never had my own NES, but plenty of my friends had it, so I played on theirs <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I've been playing games since before I remember. Mostly games like the various Quest series from Sierra. Space Quest, King's Quest, Hero's Quest... excellent games, all of them. Also used to play old MUDs like Zork.
    We had a console, and old Texas Instruments thing. Played Space Invaders and some 2D scrolly spaceship game...
    Age-wise, I really dont remember.... the Quest games started coming out in mid-80s, so I was probably 6 or 7?

    Oh yea, and plenty of Nibbles on Basic.

    My first game was XCom on a 233 mHz running DOS, when I was about six years old.

    I'm oldschool. I go way back. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    My older brothers had an NES. They bought donkey kong jr. on it. Then later they bought zelda. I remember it was a golden cartridge. Ah the memories...

    I learned the tricks of the trade. Amongst them, blowing one end of the cartridge over and over and over again until NES finally recognized the game. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    My first real game was zelda. I could never beat the second part of the game (where everything was different and the monsters were tougher). I'd always give up after reaching the first level and getting killed by a mummy (they took away 2 hearts!).

    I've been playing since I was three, so that's, uh, 1992. I can't remember my first few games, but the first great game I ever played was X-Wing. Good old X-Wing.

    Been playing since I was 3 on an [fix]NES[/fix].

    Frequently played SMB, and sometimes Loderunner (teh pwn!) but most of the time I play bomberman because of its shear difficulty.

    Later on the [fix]NES[/fix] broke, and we had nothing to play with.

    Cut 3 years later. 6 years old, first playstation because 'everybody had one'. Got Guybrave game and couldn't stop playing. We also got Final Fantasy 4, and it was in Japanese, which sparked my interest in Japanese language.

    Cut 2 months later, dad bought Final Fantasy 7, my FF fanboy-ism starts.

    Cut this again to 5 months later, my brother left for China for his DJ work, so I played Topgun on his PC, and managed to unplug the joystick for some reason o_O

    Cut to 4 years ago, got our won family PC, played on emulators to play good ol' classics.

    Cut again to 3 years, my introduction to Rainbow Six, and eventually....Counter-Strike

    One year later, found a couple of pretty neat mods. NS, Boxwar, ESF (I don't care what you think. I know I don't like DBZ too) and some others.

    2 months ago, brother brought his PS2 with him from his former apartment. Still ain't plugged but I intend to ask my friend to help me buy a game of Naruto because of Naruto fanboy-ism rampage)

    Been gaming since god knows when. Started on a Spectrum 128K +2. I know i was young, but not exactly how young. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Only started online gaming with Doom a bit, then a lot more for Duke3D and a hell of a lot with Quake.

    Shinobi when I was 4... Doom when I was 5... Sonic the Hedgehog was the first game I actually owned at 6... I've been a hardcore gamer really since I got my first PS1 and FF7...
  • Crono5Crono5 Join Date: 2003-07-22 Member: 18357Members
    But not the memory of spelling? Pac-man

    I was playing since as long as I could remember. At least two, my first PC game was on the PC, on a huge floppy, in DOS. It was kind of like Space Invaders. I think the name of it was Rocky's Boots or something stupid like that.

    Then came Doom shareware...

    Then Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition.

    And yeah, NES, SNES, and Genesis was in the middle of that. And the really old, fat, grey Gameboy, and Gamegear, and Sega Nomad.

    When I was 5 or 6 I got a Gameboy (classic, mind you) and Tetris. Been playing ever since. My favorite GB games was the first Metroid, and Zelda. (I forget the name, it's the one where you wake the Wind Fish on an island.)

    My first games were on an intelevision and there was a "Tron" game, along with something similiar to "ski-free" that they used to have on windows 3.1 and 95. My first two player game was black jack on the intelevision I was closer to 6, but I know my parents bought them in the late 70's :-)
