    I started playing since I was a child. I started playing games maybe 8-9 years old. I remember the first gaming console I has was playstation one. Back then games were quite low graphics but I still kept playing since it was fun.

    ^^^^^^^^^I will remember that day for the rest of my life though unless I have some debilitating disease or lose my memory. My parents wrapping it and putting it under the tree and me watching them from upstairs at about 2 am in the morning. And I believed in Santa Claus but when I saw that Nintendo I really didn't care less at that point. :)

    I think I've been gaming since I was a kid. I don't remember what age, but it was back when the NES was a pretty big thing. Good old times! Now, everything revolves around Sony and Microsoft.

    I'm 37 and seen a lot of games in my day, from arcade games to consoles. I've been playing off and on for about 30 years.

    I've been gaming since I was 3. I think I may have played the Mario games first, but I clearly remember playing Soul Blade quite a bit. I wasn't all that great, but I loved Seung Mina. I was always fascinated with how pretty was. ^-^

    I've been playing online games since I was 10. My first serious games were Pacman and Tetris. As I grew older I got interested in Pokemon 2nd generation so my high school was filled with that. I also got into MMORPGs because of my siblings and I was utterly hooked with Ragnarok Online and Ran, too bad they're no longer as popular as before. These days I just play League of Legends.

    Shit it has been so long, just about when I was 4 or so I think? It was when I was learning to read and my mom gave me a game boy to test it out and I have been hooked ever since.

    Oh, I've been gaming nearly all my life. My dad had a Nintendo, and would always let me watch him play, and in that manner, I learned to play myself. I was 4ish then. 25 now, and still gaming. :)

    I've been gaming since I was six and I even remember the first console I ever had. Wow...21 years of being a gamer is a pretty damn long time for me then:D

    Oh man probably since I was 5 or 6 maybe even younger. I still remember being kicked out of my neighbors house because I refuse to let go of the Duck Hunt gun. Needless to say I was pretty young when I was introduced to gaming and ever since I never went away.

    I think I got hooked in a little while back already. Melancholy strikes me whenever I think of the first day of my gaming attempt, back in 2005... when I played San-Andreas for the first time. Oh, God, that game was just excellent for a kid like myself.

    I started out with classic Nintendo games in the late '90s and I've been hooked ever since. I think I'm gonna be a gamer until I'm a grandpa that can barely walk anymore, haha. :D

    FuZyOn, you sound like my husband-- he says the same thing!

    I've been a casual player since the early 90's when Nintendo first came out with the NES. Ah, yes, the age of the big cartridges that had to be blown out, and then when the spring died, you had to hold the game you were playing down with another game cartridge! I don't think we'll ever actually stop playing in my family, to be honest. It may work in our favor: My daughter wants to be a game developer when she's out of school.
