I am 17, and I first played a game back in 1992, when I was 4, and that game was Emerald Mine for the Amiga.

*cries* I miss my father's Amiga 500

Well!!! You learn something sad everyday. I'm the 3rd or 4th oldest person here. i'm 31. I've been gaming longer than the majority has been alive. I got an atari when i was 8. Played Star Master - now that was a great atari game!!! Anyone remember that one???

Seems i'm so old, I gonna shuffle off now and do whatever old folk do

So.....Troubled............
You had an atari of your own in 1982? My, you must have been a privileged kid. [/b][/quote]

My Atari.....
1982?? Was that really the year? Crap I'm old. But yes we were very spoiled kids. My sister and I had like 30 barbies!! My grandmother used to go shopping in Hong kong every year and bring tonnes of stuff back for us. Too bad things are not so great now, I've discovered that you have to work for money!! How shocking.

I am 28 and a half. I think. Born in December 76.

First time I played such games was in 1983 when a friendly family came back from the USA after a few years and their children brought an Atari console (don't even remember which one anymore LOL) and played for hours at their house. I didn't like it much, but it paved the way for his Amstrad 6128 a year or so later for me to get hooked on games.
I didn't buy a computer till 1987 and my first two games for it were Starglider and Bob Winner. (doubt anyone knows them :-p )
Though it took about 6 or so more months to get my first strategy/wargame for it (which is my favourite type of games), UMS. Excellent!

Following Iron Scarecrow's example:

First time I smoked (tobacco): 16 years old
first time drugs: never... except for vitamines k:

Surely that would reuire another thread (only it'd be a little pointless I'd say...)

I think this thread has been made redundant by the emergence of Grand Dad - none of us can hope to compete with his amazing powers of ... erm, age ... and thus we are already defeated!

You can never be too young or old to kill nazis.
