What age are you now and how old were you when you first played computer games?
By computer I mean anything.. PC / SNES / Atari / Arcade etc...

And what was the first ever game you owned?

For Me: 24, 5, Atari2600 - Keystone Cops :angel:

21, about 10 or 12 probably, Kickle Cubicle on the NES (although I did play things like Manic Miner, Attic Attac, Galaxians and the awesome Halls of the Things on my dad's ZX28 before that).

Began with 4 or 5 years when my oldest brother bought a Commodore64 and I was totally addicted after playing ... Giana Sisters, followed by Last Ninja and then all the other great games Today I also like to visit to the good old C64-music. The thing itself is still under my belongings. My brother told me to sell it, but ... no, I'll never sell it to anyone. It's a piece of history ... maybe when I'm 30 and the thing still works I can make a bunch of money of it, but only if I really need the money

Oh yeah, I'm the first 19y-voter btw ^^

20. First system was this machine that used black, Gameboy-like cassettes. First game was a question & answer thing my nephew programmed on it. "What weather is it outside?" "It is raining glittery suits from Eddy Wally." It ended by showing a triangle

24, and I honestly don't know at what age I started, I guess I was 5 or 6

and those were games like pong and squash and stuff like that on some green and black TV console (well, the screen was black with green, not the console itself) which didn't even have cardridges yet.

But the real fun started when I was 8 and I started playing games like Willy the Worm and Lode runner on my mums Hyundai (don't know what processor).. and some time earlier on my nephews or classmates C64 (Paratrooper, Midnight Pinball, Lazy Larry, Ghost Busters etc)
