What does this have to do when you started gaming???

this has nothing to do with when you started gaming. Either edit this to fit the topic, or it gets deleted.

I like some others started on the NES when I was like 8 or so. The Mario series was awesome at the time and since then we've beaten em all ^_^. I've been pretty loyal to Nintendo, but for DDR I got a used '95 PS1. I have a GBA though I rarely play it.... We gave our NES away to family in Europe and my N64 is in the closet. The only console that's actively used is our Gamecube. I used to have an original Gameboy but one day when I was watching TV I accidentally bashed it with a basketball pump. ^^;; I was devistated... but like 5 years later I got a Game Boy Color, but it was stolen during lunch 11th grade year -_-... Oh well.. I'm not much of a gamer anywayz...

I started gaming when I was three years old, and my dad held me on his lap and let me play Space Invaders on an old TI computer we used to have.

I got my NES when I was seven, my old-school Game Boy at ten, my Genesis at twelve, and my PlayStation at 18. Since then, I've gotten a GameCube, Dreamcast, GBA, and PS2.

I've been playing video games since Christmas of 1992, when my parents got my brother and me a Super Nintendo. I quickly commandeered it, though. I was 13. Originally, it was hooked up to my TV in my room, but my brother (who was about ...um, I think 7 at the time) didn't like that. So we moved it to what we've always called the "toy room," although nowadays it's more of a "room where we stash all our crap." A few years later we gave (or sold, I forget which) the SNES to our cousins since the preceeding Christmas (1998, IIRC) we'd begged and pleaded for and finally got an N64. This was also in the "toy room" until just before Christmas 2002, where it was moved to my room, as 1). my brother never played it, having a Playstation/PS2 (I forget which, probably PS2) and 2) we have a cockatoo in that same room and do you KNOW how completely annoying it is to try to get perfect in the Octorock Shooting Gallery in Majora's Mask while you periodically hear "Squawk! Squawk!" in a really loud voice? Anyway, this past Christmas I begged and pleaded for and got a Gamecube. Yay! Now if I could only find the one game that I really, desperately want: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. (I can't find it anywhere!) Anyway, that's my brief history of gaming. I started when I was 13 and I'm almost 25 now, so ... almost 12 years.

(The thing that bothers me, though, is that I've been a member of gamefaqs.com for four years, and people still think I'm a guy.)

I've been playing a while..since I was 3 or 4 (this was the late 1980s). I remember playing Donkey Kong Jr. and Pac-Man on Atari 2600 (!). A couple of years later, though, my parents got rid of the Atari, and we got a NES. This was when I really began to play video games. But it was 1991 then I really became a die-hard gamer, when I got for my birthday Super Mario Bros. 3, and the next Christmas a Sega Genesis. I no longer have the NES, but I've played, bought, and enjoyed virtually every popular video game system since (except the Saturn and X-Box..never bought them).

Whatever.

Anyways, i don't remember when I got my NES. I mean, I remember getting it I just don't remember how old I was. I was pretty young. My first game was burgertime. I had this Texas Instrument computer thing before that that had catridges you could plug into it and play, but i always remember having that so I don't know for how long I had it. It had burger time on it too, so that's why it was cool to play burgertime with a CONTROLLER. wooooow. Since then I was hooked. I've owned an NES, SNES, N64, PSX, PS2, GCN, GBC, GBA, GBASP. Oh yeah, also i had a Game Gear for a time but i sold that a few years ago (regretably, what was i thinking?)

I've been playing video games for forever, really. I had the original NES, GB, SNES, Game Gear, GB Pocket, Playstation, and GBA. My little brother got an N64, and now has a GCN. But, even without the systems I played video games. For instance, at school, in the computer lab... Oregon Trail, Number Munch (anyone remember Number Munch? I pwned Number Munch!) Mario Teaches Typing, all of them. It was great. Now I miss all the old computer games. T-T
