How long have you played video games?

My dimmest memories of the first video games I started playing were Zaxxon and Donkey Kong sometime in the winter of 1980 or \'81.  I think I was four or five at the time..  Anyway, here it is!

I have been playing video games for 20 years.  Holy crap!!  Thassa\' long time brotha!

I been called a video nerd once at my old school then I use some move from DOA2 and I teach that Bastard a lesson and yes, I been playing for 12 year and I started WHEN I was 1!

I was playing Atari @2 or 3. I was sooo cute.

You was cute, Was I cute, well let see, I wet my diaper that time i was playing nintendo...awww dam, everyone going to be laughing at me!

Yes, I was cute at that time, all baby are cute....but I want to see small lady....but Hawke would chop off my head.

i started playing at Atari at the age of 5...had some cool games back then

well i started when the nintendo first came out and my dad bought one - from then on it was a vicous chain of must buy new and more games

mmhh..not that long, 5 year since the snes

About 10 years, if I can remember - but frequent gameplay about 8 years. I remember my first gaming experiences to be Pacman on a loaned computer long time ago

Lemmings was the first game truly to get me playing, and love the videogaming - first time I truly was entertained.

Then came the snes and all the classical games... and I was hooked

Now I have my ps2, but I haven\'t played so much - usually I play Timesplitters with my friends, that\'s all. I\'m still waiting those BIG games to show up ( FFX, Wipeout Fusion, MGS2 etc. ) - I think they\'re going to light the gameplaying-fire inside me again.

It was just over 10 years ago (11-12) that I started playing.

I can\'t remember a time when I didn\'t play... I used to play on our ancient PC, those games weren\'t much graphics-wise but they had plenty of other things to offer. I was well under 10 when I started playing, my guess is 5 or younger. So it\'s kinda amusing when these little boys can\'t believe I play (cause I\'m a girl) when in reality I\'ve been playing before they were even born.

Yes I was 22 when we bought our first game system PONG. Then the Atari. Wow.

jeez jiggs!!! you are an oldie!!! are you like 40? JK:D please dont spank me!
JK again...haha
man my gaming days started with the NES!!!! i played this one baseball game for hours and hours when i was like 6  i didnt think about graphics! :smokin:

It was 14 years ago when I first whipped Donkey Kong\'s tail and saved the princess. I\'ve been a gamer ever since.

I guess I haven\'t been gaming quite as long as my sig would suggest, but you gotta give me some credit. I spent many an hour playing text adventures on my grade school\'s Apple IIe\'s.

i had to pick 15 - 10...because ive been playing as long as i can remember...probably even longer

im only 17, but ive been playing games as long as most 20 somethings

I\'ve been playing since I was ...ehm, 8 or somethin.
( before that I liked real material stuff better, like LEGO, Transformers and playing soldier boy outside... )
that was in 1985 . I\'m 23 years now so that must be.....
15 years of videogaming.  My dad had this bulky IBM xt computer and I used to play on it games like castle
and california summer games. also I played those Nintendo handhelds and rippoffs alot like donkey kong.
Those were the days !
Then came alot of other pc\'s , the Sega Master system, the Sega Mega drive , the 3D FX card , the Nintendo 64 and presently my Playstation 2 haha !
So you see I\'ve really been kinda multiplatform gaming.
