When Did You Come Of Age In Gaming

[Landamo]

Ok, when did you start playing games seriously, and with what system. For me it was in the early 90s when I was about 6. For me it was with a Nintendo and Master System.


Oh and on a side note, when I was a small kid, about 3 or 4, my dad and uncle would play the Nintendo and Master System. I would want to play so they would hand me a unplugged controler to make me think I was playing. I was wondering if this happend to any of you, or have you used this on a kid

Yeah I started around the same time: NES days. First game was Super Mario Bros. I had that for about a year then got the SNES that I still have

I used that controller tactic on younger siblings before, heh. Or just convince them that One Player games are actually Two Player games.

I got into gaming in the early 90s, that's when I got my SNES

I started playing games when I was 4/5 and had a Commodore 64. But it was first around 90 I really got into gaming as that was the I got my NES.

I first got hooked with the Atari sometime in the mid-eighties, right when the Atari crashed. The Atari was dirt cheap then, so my older brother bought one. I guess I was about 7 at the time. I'm sure I still have it buried in a closet somewhere with my other pre-NES stuff.

Haha, I used that on two of my younger cousins once. They wouldn't shut up, so I thought that would be the best solution >=D

Anywho, I used to play Mario and Earthworm Jim when I was little, and I guess I could've been considered to take games seriously at the time of Earthworm Jim, but I was no good. I actually started to play more than watch my brother play when we got the N64. (btw I'm 13 so I was probably 0-1 years old when we had a NES )

I played games before I was old enough to know I was playing them. But not coming from a family that was particularly well off, I wasn't able to own a system of my own until I was placed in a foster home that had a Nintendo. That's when I really started to get into gaming very seriously....

[screwed]

Used to play the NES a bit.... but just for things to dO!!!
just a kid ya know.. screwing arounD!!

but started for real when the SNES hit in EuropE!!

I started owning and playing my Nintendo when I was 6. So that would be early 90's.

[Hangman]

I got my SNES about 1998, but got my N64 a few months later. My SNES was the console i got addicted to though...
