I played since I was 4 years old, although I liked the Nintendo characters when I was 2 years old! xD Good ol' memories! That's roughly 10 years ago.... 0.0

I would have to say I remember starting to play when I was 6 or so, when Sonic the Hedgehog on the Genesis was the best thing since sliced bread. My family used to watch my Dad play and always be really impressed when he got super far and stuff. My Mom and I would play Tetris and Columns together, and I would play Sonic or Streets of Rage with my very young brother at the time (I'm guilty of keeping his controller unplugged so he wouldn't screw with my game haha). Good times, good times.

I'd say around 3-4 years old, but I'm not entirely sure... Might be younger too? We had an Atari and a NES in the basement and I used to sneak there and play when I was a kid.

I dunno, I've always just gamed for as long as I can remember. I bet I was born with a game boy advance in my hand (with either pokemon ruby, pokemon firered, or super Mario world warmly nestled inside)

I think that I started playing video games I guess somewhere around 6 years old but I can exactly remember the exact date but I remember playing that good Nintendo DS and the games that were on it . Apparently I didn't exist when it comes to like the long long times ago XD

I've been a gamer since 2002 I believe. I used to watch my brothers play video games because for some reason I thought they were scary lol. Probably due to some of the Super Mario 64 and Ape Escape characters.

I don't know. I can't remember an exact point that made me a gamer. I just started playing some games on the computer then I got a DS Lite and from there on the role of games gradually increased. If "a gamer" means someone who is serious about games then it would be about 4/5 years ago. If it means someone who playes digital games it's about 8 years I suppose.

For as long as I can remember, which my earliest memories are from when I was four. At least that's when I was playing games and actually knew what I was doing. I played games as early as 1-2 years old, but of course at that age you're just pushing buttons and aren't aware of what you're doing, so I'm not sure if that counts.

Basically I've been playing games for my entire life.

I've been playing games for as long as I can remember, from the classic/old school ones to the newer consoles and platforms. The only console I haven't really played on is an Xbox actually.
I can surely say for 15+ years.

I have been a gamer since I was 2, with my Pajama Sam, Freddy Fish, and my Gameboy Advance with Pokemon LeafGreen and Emerald (I lost them sadly ;-; ) It was just something I did pretty often, but when I was six, my dad REALLY got me into gaming with Cod (ew) and got me into console, 7 years later, I moved to Pc :D Currently building a pc and it makes me proud to have become a gamer... those were the good ol' days

I started gaming in preschool on this giant near foot thick desktop computer than played a flounder game from little mermaid and a stuart little game. But besides that i usually snuck into my dads game case and took out the games i knew i wasnt supposed to play and plaed them anyway until i realized i didnt know the controls. Now i am a nintendo enthusiast (spelled that first try:banghead:) and now i have roughly70 games that belong to me including Skate 3, LoZ twilight princess, etc! so.... ya...:rotfl:

My parents hated video games because they said it stunted my growth. I was stuck with those cheap flash games until I turned 7ish and got a DS. Although I played games that my cousins had, they always made excuses to not let me join if they could. I've been a gamer roughly 5 yeas, not a big feat, but I'm probably the biggest gamer in my family now. Everyone is just all stuck up with the generic mobile app games, which are fine, I like those, too, but I also stick with games all around. Everyone in my family basically gave up Nintendo and just stayed with CoD (which is fine, but it's practically the only games they play).

A good 17 years of my life that I can remember. I remember hanging out with my uncle as a kid and playing with his classic NES. My first console was GBC but my first game I ever owned was Spyro for the PS1. I would have to wait for my uncle to be gone to play it. And basically it's consumed my life to this point. No regrets. I've lived countless lives as opposed to the singular lifestyles of non-gamers. And I couldnt be happier. It's brought me closest to the people and friends I associate with now. And for the many more I hope to meet later on in life. So yeah, kinda a long time.

I have been a gamer ever since i was in kindergarten. I was always a big fan of video games. I would always ask for video games for Christmas and my birthday. When i was younger I was playing on my xbox 360 and my ds. I use to always play on my xbox every single day. Video games are entertainment to me. I think that I will always be playing video games for the rest of my life.

When I was only three years old my dad brought out his old NES console and we played Super Mario Bros 3. I have had a soft spot for that game ever since. I would rate it in my top 3 favorite games of all time. When I got a little older, I played Super Mario World on the SNES with my cousin. When super Mario 64 came out, my parents bought me the console. I've literally been playing games as long as I remember.
