Cyraxpt: Lol, i was joking, i do believe we have the same age! :)

My first game was Road Fighter on a Nes... Uhm... Perhaps around 1992 so i've been playing for 23 years now...
I think I have that game. I'v got like 30 NES games hiding away in my Mum's loft somewhere. I have some right oddities in there.
About 33 years (Atari 2600). Maybe a little longer if you count Pong.
25 years. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe – the majestic architecture of Vivec during sunrise, the buxom ivory woman bathed in the coloured lighting of a run-down club whose beauty is beyond compare, Christopher Blair’s absurd Blue Hair. All those moments will be lost in time… like tears in rain.

Time to di- oh wait I’m fine. Here’s to another 25!
Started in 1992. I was 4 years old.

So 22 years of saving the princess, kicking ass and solving moon logic puzzles. Man its been a long time.

Consoles owned: NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, PS1-3, Xbox, XB360, Atari 2600, Game Gear, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance SP, even the Zelda Game Watch.

1972 with the original Pong. Imho, it's the greatest hobby ever invented 8P. 43 years and counting.

odinfan: Later on things like Area 51 and Maximum Force. Old enough to have memories of the arcades at least.
Lethal Enforcers is still my favorite arcade game of all time.
Hard to say for sure, but I guess for about 25 years. I vaguely remember playing Winter Games and Michael Jackson's Moonwalker on C64, when I was about five or six years old.
Since I've had my 386, but I can't remember what year that was, perhaps 1993ish
since the PS2.
Probably from around 1989 on my family's 286, although I watched them play games before that too. Was mostly Sierra adventure games (more watching than playing, though), Prince of Persia, Tom Sawyer, and some Mickey Mouse edutainment game and Playroom.

Always been more of a PC person, although I did get a gameboy in the early 90s, and then a Sega Megadrive II around 1996/1997 (and then bought myself a PS2 a little less than 2 years ago).

Blade runner?
36 or 37 years. Started with Pong back in '77 or '78 (can't recall exactly when) when I was 13 or 14, and went from there: arcade games, computer text games, console games, etc.
-3 years. I plan to start playing on 1st July 2018. Boy I can hardly wait.
I'm a little surprised early 90s is considered "young" now. Sure, it's no 70s, but that was basically the real beginning of electronic games unless you're referring to the 40s when computers first made their mark on the world.

I'm talking about before the likes of Ralph Baer, even.

Most kids today won't recognize the name or care, but if you're on this forum, he's pretty damn important.
