I was 5 when I started and owned NES, SNES, PS1, PS2, N64, PS3, and Xbox. While Diva and I were dating, I was a regular on the Sega Genesis.

[jefXfree]

I'd guess about 20 years or more... Has to be more, but I can't think of how old I was when I got the NES.

[digitalbabe]

I only had the NES in the 80's (and now I have one, again, LOL). We have a PS3 and Wii. On the PS3 I am very bad, as I am a total noob, ha!

[49ergirl]

I started in 81 with my coleco vision. Remember the Smurfs game and a lot of Pitfall. Frogger was my favorite. Remember playing a ton of Pole Position too. Then Nintendo, hours and hours of my life on Super Mario and remember Tyson's Punch out.

Awesome pic! I remember playing a neighbor's Atari 2600 or something like that WAAAAAAY back in the day, but have only had the NES and now the PS3 and Wii. My partner had a PS and PS2. She always laughs when I run around in a circle and look up at the sky in the PS3 games.Wish I could pick them up, because I have an affinity for custom cars (so I know I'd love the racing ones), and also enjoy stuff like Area 51 and other Alien stuff:)

[Wreck]

Started with the NES ....

NES > SNES > N64 - Sega > Dreamcast - PS1 > PS2 > Xbox 360 > PS3

Also had the fatty original Gameboy back in the days.

[digitalbabe]

Ahaha, I remember my nephews toting around the fat Gameboy, LOL..and always misplacing their little cartridges and driving their parents nuts, ha!

[bighorns]

Atari, NES, SNES, Sega, PS1, PS2, PSP, PS3

[Illiciter]

Coleco vison, atari 2600, nes, snes, gameboy, sega genesis, segacd, n64, xbox, ps1, ps2, ps3


I only own a PS3 now, BUT, my dad still has the original NES we owned, and the ATARI, and all the games. Pitfall and Pacman took a lot of time up. So did Space Command. Pole Position not so much. We also had a bunch of cartridges with the game bundles that had like two games on one cartridge, etc... but they were all just dumb. I do remember playing Indiana Jones on the Atari though, that game was mufuggin BOMB when I was a kid.


I'm a big aliens fan too. Area 51 was one of my go-to arcade games when I went. I also ended up playing a crap ton of Super Off-Road and Mortal Kombat since it was the goriest thing in existance at the time.

[Off_contstantly]

I forgot about the Atari and Gameboy. :emb:

I used to play Combat! and Space Invaders on the Atari.

I was a big fan of Area-51 in the arcade too!

[digitalbabe]

Added a pic to OP for a little trip down memory lane...;)

[Horhay]

I remember that fatty Gameboy! lol I also had Gameboy SP, DS, DS Lite, Gameboy Color

[jefXfree]

NES>SNES>PS1>Game Cube>PS2>Xbox>Wii>360>PS3

I still own the Wii, 360, and PS3 but I never play the 360. I've only taken it out of the box twice. I've wanted to sell it, but i'm afraid if I do it'll get the RROD on someone and make me look like a crappy person.. lol.

[darczap]

Intellivision, and Commodore 64 were the first systems that I played.

[digitalbabe]

Commodore 64-Oh my goodness-I had one of those. Used to play a game called "Borrowed Time", haha!

[Sixteenvolt420]

I've been gaming since i was roughly 4-5. My first console was the good ole Atari 2600. I still remember playing certain games with my grandmother, like surround, Basketball, and Combat. She use to get so pissed when i beat her. She bought it for me for X-Mas, as it being in the crappy 80's, like alot of others, my father lost his job in the coal mine when it closed, and we didn't have much mula at the time, as work was tough to find where i grew up. I ended up giving away my 2600 back in the day, when i got an N.E.S., a few years after it was released. I remember it was after my dad found a good job finally, and he was working in Ohio for the summer. He got a nice bonus, and bought me the N.E.S. set with robbie the robot (which i shared with my sis obviously), and my sister got a pink 10 speed. I'm not hardcore by any means, i lose patience with alot of stuff that's frustrating, i'm sure i probably have ADD or some shit, but having no insurance for over 10 years now, you're less likely to go to the doctor. Anyway, game on!

[raspor]

atari 2600>nes>comandore 64>pc >360(bought two games then a friend borrowed it)&pc>pc&wii(current)

I remeber my atari still playing tank games, pong and indiana jones with the theme song looped that it became annoying.

[Sixteenvolt420]

do do do do do

do do do do do do do




We used to sing, there's a hole in the wall, and the girls can see it all.

[JGUN]

I remember looking forward to every morning trying to be the first to wake up and grab the Atari before one of my 3 brothers got to it first. Then there was no sharing without some trouble

[jimmy]

Since I was a baby.

[Zero]

I started with my C64 ages ago, too.

[AcIdC0R3]

I also started back with the C64 and TRS80 (Trash80) way back in the day. Fun times. :oohyeah:

[Adhamhnon]

I had one of the original Pong machines back in the 70's. lol

[BurntPopcorn]

i had the Atari 2600 for only an hour, the ex made me bring it back to the store lol :hilarious:

then, i bought the Sega Master System 3D, which was awesome by the way

then i sold it for the Sega Genisis, added the Sega Saturn later

then i also bought the Sega Game Gear

then got divorced, bought the Atari Jaguar, the games were awesome, Alien vs Predator was best game i ever played, scared me many nights of playing in the dark EEK!

then i bought my first PC

then i bought an X-Box 360, then gave it to my son

then i bought the 80 gig version of PS3, gave that to my son

later on again, i bought the 320 gig PS3 Slim

constantly upgraded several computers over the years, now i am big into watercooling them :happy grin:

[Raptor2023]

I started gaming with the NES.

[Slinchafi]

I bought my first playstation in 1999, a week after my 11th birthday. I did play some random games on PC before then, but that's when I fell in love with gaming.

[blastherion]

i hate these polls reminds me of how old i am and how much time ive wasted/still waste on em :)

[BumBum]

It all started with a C64 and an Amiga at my cousins. I only had the chance to play with my Dad's laptop 286 with 2MB Ram :) And I had a gameboy as a kid :)

Now I have
NES
SNES
N64
Wii
Master System
Mega Drive 32x

[FanOfGaming]

My first systems were Nintendo (N64 then Gamecube) but I became a 'hardcore gamer' when I got the Playstation 3 in the summer of 2007 (when I was 16)

Been a Sony fanboy ever since :p

[classified01]

Probably about 13 years now, must....stop.....

[thefly]

About 30 years for me.

ZX Spectrum 48k, Spectrum 128k, Sega Master System, Spectrum 128k +2A, Sega MegaDrive, Nintendo Gameboy, Commodore Amiga, Nintendo SNES, N64, Sony Playstation, Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo GBA, Gamecube, Microsoft Xbox, DS Lite, Xbox 360, Sony Playstation 3.

Not bad. Just have very little time to do some real gaming these days. :(

[SlimJim24]

Gaming timeline: Gameboy (the oldest big ass block version), gameboy advance, n64, Xbox, Xbox 360 (original white design), 2nd Xbox 360 (original white design), mw3 Xbox 360

The mw3 360 is by far the sexiest game console I've ever seen. Plus the sounds!!! Mmmm :hilarious:

Oh and fun fact, first game on gameboy was looney tunes!!! Good stuff.

Uh I think I'm sitting at about 15 years I think. So almost longer than fanofgaming has been alive :P

[Bluprint]

I've been a Gamer for 23 of my 29 years on Earth! Started with NES and have owned every system on 1st launch day except Turbo Graphic 16! Im now retired, after finishing God of War 3 (with Platinum Throphy) and every Gears of War (with Seriously) I decided to back away! But Im very close to putting on the 45 and coming back in the game because of this...

[evilvort3x2011]

For me... 26... been gaming since age 3... lol via the atari etc now got a ps3 still enjoy gaming

[Archeur]

I have started with ... Game boy ? Yes.... But now i have retro ( snes / nes ... ) not atari ... ^^

[matton]

I started playing on the Commodore 64 and then moved on to nes,snes,ps1,ns64 and then i got into PC gaming and ps3 when that finally came out.

[Noodles]

I think my interest in gaming started when my older sister got an Amiga for Christmas one year... I was on it more than her lol. From there I went down the console route... Sega Master System, Super Nintendo (SNES), Playstation, N64, Dreamcast, Xbox, PS2, PS3 to name a few. Also had a number of handhelds over the years as well, my first being a Gameboy which I absolutely loved! Can't really get on with handhelds these days though lol. PC gaming has played a big part too! But to answer the question... I've roughly been gaming for around 20 years I reckon.

[sunnyx]

For about 25 years.

Started off with:

Commodore 64------->NES----------->MegaDrive (awesome!)/SNES--------->PS1/NES (disappointment)--------->PS2--------->PS3---------->PS4 in the future :)

[Backwater1498]

about 27 years. started with celco and atari, also did a little commodore 64. Then nes changed everything and made me a hardcore gamer. missed super nes and went the sega route with genesis , then onto playstation where i currently spend all my gaming hours. tho just recently i have come into the world of steelbook collecting, love those metal cases so nice, but also so expensive on ebay

[RiX]

Hard to say, my sisters had a sega megadrive when I was a one year old. They didn't play it after christmas day and it was in my room for as long as I can remember! Easily in the 16+ I was a bit behind my time - played what my cousins had been into a few years after they did so frogger was one ;)

others were:

Sega Megadrive
Nes
Gameboy
N64
PS2 replaced for XBOX when stolen..
..regretted this and now me and my PS3 are very happy together :)

[stinkofdefeat]

All started with the NES in 1987 I think.

May favorite system is the SNES... many hours of Super Mario Kart. :D

[tridon]

16+ years here. In 1990, my Papa (grandfather) and Nannie (grandmother) returned home from their winter vacation in Arizona with a NES. My Papa said it was his, but he was going to leave it at my parents' house for the grandkids to play. My sister never cared much for it, but my brother and I were quickly hooked. Along with the console, my Papa purchased a Big Foot game (the monster truck, not the legend) and then, of course, it came with the Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt combo pack. We played those over and over and over again. Of course, before the NES, I also played arcade and pinball games, but that console was what got me really hooked. I played casually while my brother was hardcore. My parents bought us a SNES and then eventually bought my brother a N64. They also bought me a Game Boy in 1992. In 1998, I purchased a PlayStation with my own money after stumbling on to info about Metal Gear Solid. I've been a Sony fanboy ever since (though I also purchased a GameCube, Xbox and Dreamcast along the way). :rock:

[jamesjmorton]

Since the days of the ZX Spectrum+ in the UK - around 1984 !!

[ministry]

Think must be 20+ years when the Commodore 64 was my first chance with gaming and didn't get into console gaming till several years after having a Mega Drive and then an SNES passed onto me.

[dboy99]

i had never really thought about this until i had to use it in one of my class papers.But , come to find out I've been gaming since i was four years old! And I'm twenty five now.Time sure does fly when your having fun.

[hellier]

I started with my dad's atari and i owned NES, SNES, N64, Gameboy, virtualboy, PS1, Gamecube, xbox 360 and wii :)

[Inmydream]
