Title: When did you become a gamer?
Post by: Daft Pink on April 10, 2008, 07:55:53 PM
I've been a gamer for as long as I can remember. According to my mom, I started playing video games when I was about 2 1/2. I kind of find that hard to believe because I was too little, but anyways, when did you get into gaming?

I really got into games when I was like in the 2nd grade.

When I was about 3-years-old, I got an NES for Christmas with Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt.

Ever since then I played nothing but video games.

I was 5 when I got my SNES, and I got SMW and All-Stars (when the games were still separate). SMW mad me off at first because I couldn't beat the first castle for a while. I basically sucked at video games until I was 6, even though I had been playing them since I was 3.

then a year later I got an SNES.

When did you first pass ALTTP? Did you ever get mad off and leave it alone for a few months because you couldn't beat it? I'm thinking ALTTP is a pretty hard game for a little kid.

I regarded them as a minor thing until I got a Game Boy Pocket with Super Mario Land.  This, followed by the wonderful N64, made me an avid gamer.

I know I was playing games at a young age.  I can remember playing my NES and Game Boy as a little kid.  I was probably 5.

I started playing videogames around 5 or 6. I was given a PS1 for my b-day, and started playing Crash Bendicoot: Warped! and Tekken 3. A few years later, my older sister's NES was found in the shed, and I started playing that. Then like a month later, my mom and dad bought me a N64.
