When My dad bought a Sega Geniuses when I was 2 I beat Yoshi's Island at my friends house in 1 day I don't think I could do it again though :|

[SkyMyl]

As long as I can remember. My memory started at the age of 3 1/2, so...yeah.

[Doodle]

Not really sure how old I was, but the first game I played was Super Mario World. :)

When I was 5..

I played SMW...

I couldn't stop.

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.

When I first played ALTTP on my brand new SNES.

It was magical. :)

I was 4 My dad used to put me on his lap and I'd watch him play computer games, occasionally he'd let me play Commander Keen or some other early 90's PC game.

then a year later I got an SNES.

I watched my dad play SNES when I was younger.  I picked up gaming at 6 with Pok?mon Blue with Super Mario All-Stars and Donkey Kong Country under my belt.

when my uncle bought me and my sister a SNES foe Christmas, when I was 7 or so

but the FIRST game I ever played was some racing game on my first computer, a Commodore 64

[Kilroy]

When my family got an N64 with Yoshi's Story, SM64, and SSB.

I learned how to spell my name with Yoshi's Story :3

When I was 1 or so I used to watch my brother play video games. I started playing Sega and Nintendo a lot (mainly Sonic the Hedgehog and Ocarina of Time) when I was 2 or 3.

[BOSSNIG]

Since I was about 3.

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

Bout the same.

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.

When I was 2. I started playing SMB at my cousins house along with Super Empire Strikes Back. Good times.
