    How long have you all been gaming? I have been gaming all of my life and I believe the first time I played I was around 4 or so. I can't be too certain because it was a very long time ago. The first game I ever played was Sonic The Hedgehog. It was that feeling that when I was a kid I never had before, seeing something new for the first time. I had the same feeling when I got the iPhone. haha!

    How long have you been into video games?

    Since around the age of 8 I'd say. I don't quite remember the exact age, but I remember playing my first game, which was Batman & Robin for the Snes. Awful game from what I remember, but it got me into gaming somehow. I play exclusively on PC these days as most games for it tend to be much more fun than their console counterpart. :)

    It's been a while though.

    I have played since I was 7. I only was able to play on weekends and only 1 hour. I only had under 5 games but I still enjoyed playing.

    I've been gaming since I was 6 years old. I remember one of my first games was Mario on Nintendo's Family computer, soon after I got myself the first ever released Nintendo Gameboy, I couldn't put the thing down. I got seriously into gaming from about 15yo - 21yo, I'm not as active now, but I still consider myself to be a full-fledged gamer.

    I can't tell exactly but since my childhood. I was 4 or 5, I think. My first system was the NES.

    I've been gaming since I was 5. I still remember I used to play a game called Bows and Arrows on which we had to shoot the balloons and what not.

    And of course who can remember Dangerous Dave and those epic levels!

    I'm afraid of the answer to be honest lol, I'm 22 at the moment, reaching 23, and I'm into gaming since my early 6 year old when they presented me with the oldie playstation one, from then on, all the sony consoles, excluding the portables, passed by my hands.

    I've probably been gaming since I was about 5. I used my brothers Gameboy to play games such as Wario and Mario and really enjoyed them. I probably wasn't very good though! haha.

    Eventually, I was bought a GBA and never looked back! I do have times when I don't play games as much, but then I definitely get back into it.

    At the age of two and a half my father got us our first computer. I don't think it ran anything, but it was the start of a beautifully long relationship (that had its ups and downs, but is still going strong). I'd say I remember myself playing Mario as a child and for some reason, I thought playing it is impressive so I used to play it anytime guests would come. I remember a plumber coming to our house and me immediately starting to play Mario. Oh, the irony.

    I've been gaming since the mid 80s. I had Atari, NES and Sega Genesis. I also had the original online gaming technology known as X-Band. So, yeah, I take things way back. I also game on an old IBM PC that ran games through MS Dos operating system. I am an early 80s baby so I was playing video games at a very young age. I think I was 5 when NES came out.

    I started at 8 years old, when I got my first gameboy. I loved that thing. Started off playing Pokemon, now i'm playing Xbox and PC games at 18 years old. I think it's a hobby that stays with you for life.

    I first started playing Metal Gear Solid on the Playstation 1! I believe that started it all with me. It was such an amazing game and I still play it every now and then, although now I'm more of a computer gamer.

    Hmm, I suppose maybe around 10 or so. I remember I first got into MMORPG games when I was around 11-12 ish and started playing Runescape (like most people did at that age haha) although before then I loved the PS2. And I have been gaming ever since then, so for the past 8 years. And no doubt I still will be when I'm 50!;)

    I have been gaming since preschool, ever since I got my Super Nintendo, and then Nintendo 64..and the list goes on. It just built on itself, and at first my parents tried to control the time and make it a minimalistic activity, it became a lifelong hobby, of which I have no regrets enjoying, much like people do with books or movies.

    I've been into video games since the Atari came out. I remember going from the Atari to the Sega. Then from Sega to Nintendo. Then I went from Nintendo to Super Nintendo. Fast forward and I got the PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 2. So, I've been playing games for a while and can't see myself stopping.

    Probably since I was 7 or 8. I remember getting the Sega Genesis and have been gaming since then.
