When I was about 3 or 4. Maybe earlier. My mom always tells me that, I loved to watch my dad play atari when I was like 2. So yea. Maybe 2! (Haha. I have the atari now. The same one from way back when! Heirloom!)

A joke or some kind of offense?

just a joke, I dont think he meant it as an insult

I remember playing a little bit, watching my older brothers and sister playing NES. But when I walked up to funcoland with my older brother while he was watching me, and we came back with a new super nintendo I definitely started to play more a little after that and when I figured out the right way to make mario run

When I got an N64...I think i was 6 or 7 at the time. Mario 64 ftw

My First handheld was a Gameboy Color (Atomic Purple

) Got that when I was 7 or 8 for Easter.

I screwed around with controllers and tried my first mod(AKA shoving a penny in the cart port of an NES which shorted it out) when I was 1. I actually started really playing games at the midpoint of 2 where every non-family gathering picture of me was one of me with a Sega Genesis controller in my hands.

Don't worry c_mon i meant no offense what so ever. For me my first console was the NES when i was 3 or 4 i remember playing Duck Hunt a lot!

I'd Probably go with 3 or 4, possibly even 2. I remember playing Seasame Street: Big Birds Hide & Speak, SMB/Duck Hunt, and Gunsmoke on the NES. All of which I own to this day.

I PWNT at that game, but then again I always pressed the gun up against the tv.

Probably when I was about 8 and I found a snes in my basment, someone had given it to me and my parents were hiding it

But I remember playing the original Pokemon on my game boy pocket.

4 my mom bought an NES at a yardsale and 10 good games ( all marios duck hunt, burger time) And since then I have been playing games, but I didn't get into zelda until I was 10 and not into metroid until I was 12?!? Shocking I know but you guys will get over it.

I can't remember when I started gaming... at all. Umm... I always enjoyed the SNES... I'm not old enough to have been around in the NES era. (I'm 17 now.) The N64 was my "time" though.

My brother's always been a bigger gamer than me... his first system was an NES he got for his 4th birthday. By 5 he had beaten 9-5 in Tetris... so...

He's 21 now, and... *looks behind me at the TV/Playstation/brother* yeah... still a hardcore gamer.

Yet... he used to hold the gun up to the TV while playing Duckhunt too.

He's ashamed of that now, with as much of an "anti-cheater" as he is.
