I first played Wolfenstein 3D when I was about 3 or 4 years old. Then when I got my 486, I think I was about 5 or 6. So roughly I've been gaming/pc using for about 13 or 14 years. What about you guys?

PS: I'm 17 years old

Played my first games on a C64 when I was about 12, so 24 years or so... nowadays I have pretty much stopped playing games though.

mhh...I think I was 3, my first consolle was a Philips G7000 (VideoPac Computer Magnavox Odyssey) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnavox_Odyssey%C2%B2

But my real love was Amiga 600...damn, bought in 1991 when I was 5...I'm still using it!

So I have been playing games for 18 years

I first encountered a computer game on a mainframe around 1982: Colossal Cavern. I think the first game I ever bought was an early version of Sargon, the chess program, back around that time, for the Tandy 2. It took about 25 minutes to load from cassette.

My first game review was in 1987, for PC Magazine, if I recall correctly.

I started gaming with Mattel Intellivision in 1981, but I was already 19 back then.
PC gaming started in 1993 with Indy Atlantis.

My first game was Giana Sisters. I was 6 or something close to it. The machine was Commodore 64.

I started playing games (and only playing games) at the age of 6. My bro had an C64. Then I got a NES and I still have it AND it still works!
Doing something sensible with a PC and NOT gaming... hmm... must have been when I was 11 or 12.
In the last three years I learned like 900% or so of what I knew before...

So my PC-carreer:
6-11 kiddy and n00bie gaming (i was good at some games though)
11-20 advanced stuff
20-now(23) 1337 stuff
