When Did You Become a Gamer?

[Scoot Magee]

When I was born

 

[BlackViper415]

I played a lot of N64 as a kid, lots of Mario Party (which probably explains why I distrust so many people haha) and especially Bomberman, but I didn't truly jump on the gaming train until this happened...

As soon as my motor skills developed enough to.

One word:

ZELDA

 

[TheGabStandard]

First game I ever played was Sonic the Hedgehog when I was about 5 so I guess since then

I've always hated video games.
I had all the game consoles as a kid but I never played them. But I've always liked Mk so I got MkvsDC. Then I knew fighting games were my thing so I went back and bought all the MKs but MK9 was when I actually started gaming

Super smash bros Melee was my first, lol love that game

 

[Eldriken]

All the Sonic love in here makes me happy. One of my all-time favorite game series on the Sega Genesis.

i think it really started with all kinds of football (Manager) games on the gameboy and atari 500 when i was like 9-10 years old but i dont really remember exactly.

 

[Crathen]

I think it was 1995 ( was 5 yo ) when i played my first pc game :

It was actually fun!

Then i played more games on my dads MSX2 , Metal Gear Solid 2 , Dragon Quest 2 , 1942 , Contra , Out Run and so on.

Don't really define myself a gamer tho , i enjoy lotsa things.

When I was born

This one is me.

 

[KHAOTIC_UNCLE-_-CREEPY]

since the birth of me til the death of me

 

[Big Pampering]

I played mario when I was still a little retard but that didn't make me a gamer. I think FFVII on PC made me into a true gamer, I still remember that my copy of FFVII was broken and I couldn't play any further than the fight with Dyne and Barret. Only a few years later could I afford a Ps1. FFVII is what made me look into other games

 

[EpitomicaL]

Donkey Kong Country at the age of 4.

 

[DeathTouch]

Super mario bros 1 on Nintendo was my first game

 

[IROC]

NEVER. But did play all of those games as a kid. Sonic the hedghog was prolly the first game i watched my mom and older brother play on sega in the early 90s. Mk1 at a babysitters in 93. I was a toddler lol. But ill admitt, iv kinda became one for mk9.

 

[OG Mannimal]

The first one I played was Gauntlet on the N64

 

[bettyswallaux]

I started with this, only played a little before that, usually platformers like aero acrobat and mario

 

[fr stack]

mario bros. and double dragon on the nes
on the sega, sonic 1 , sonic 2 , micro machines , THE POWER RANGERS FIGHTING GAME -i literally still miss that game like 21 years later

 

[True Grave]

I dabbled on my older sister's NES and it was some Dracula game iirc, but didn't play it much. It wasn't until I played Kirby for the NES and let me tell you what an accomplishment that was. It took me several tries to beat the final boss, but when I did I yelled it through the house lol. After that I was hooked for LOFE!

I have to add that Diablo 2 on launch and Halo 3 took up a few year of my life because I didn't care about any other game...now it's MK

Edit: Zelda OoT, Majora's Mask, and Starfox was my shit back in the day. I enjoy watching the speed runs for Zelda on twitch.
