What age did you started to play video games?

[freebie#47]

Tough question, considering i was born before video games existed. After Decades I can honestly say I don't remember, but i do remember my first game. Space Invaders cabinet. 5 cents

 

[Viviana Santos]

I was seven years old when i first started playing video games.

 

[denha]

commodore 64 at age 5 - they didnt trust me with disks though, so i had to have help

 

[YeayTACTICS]

Nine years old, got a handheld from my parents.
Can't remember what I played, although I think I broke it after a few weeks...

 

[Kid Dynamite]

Around 8 or 9 roughly.

 

[CG4R12I4N]

4-5
But zoomers nowadays already played games when they're less than 2 years old anyway.

I was in preschool so around 3-4 years old. I started with the NES and SNES. My parents even got a game genie to boost my confidence while learning to play.

 

[Deleted member 884]

At 5 or 6 I think.

 

[Graw]

2 or 3. One of my earliest memories is seeing the gold Legend of Zelda cartridge for the time.

 

[CardcaptorEd2019]

3 or 4. Probably with the PSX

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

In 2009 I remember it , playing my first game ever air strike 3d , I was 4 at the time.

So you can say gaming is in my blood.

I would've been around 4 or so with Super Mario Bros 3.

 

[ZEGA ZONIC]

I was 6 years old when I started to play on the Sega Genesis.

 

[Sir Auriel of Lionel]

Either 3 or 4 could pretty much install edutainment titles on the family Win 99 on my own. Couldn't tell you when I started to comprehend what I was doing vs just clicking and hoping for a response.

 

[Duke_11037]

Had to be around 2, I remember always stealing my brothers ds because I thought it was cool. Probably spent more time on it than him.

 

[Antilocal123]

12 I think? I didn't have a console so I just played stuff on my father’s phone or tech decks.

 

[SpikeSlania]

Probably 4. Between playing old dos games on my grandpa's lap like Commander Keen, Leisure Suit Larry, and Duke Nukem to Super Mario Bros 3 on the NES. And yes they let me play Leisure Suit Larry at that age, I couldn't read or write and just walked around getting beat up in back alley ways :p

 

[dropsmegamega]

I must have been 3 or 4 who knows, its hard for me to remember stuff before my 6, but the consoles certainly were around since before I was born because they belonged to my older brother.

 

[Aeriththeflowergirl]

4-5 yrs old

 

[AnonymousCookieMonster]

As far back as i can remember, as my parents had a 8bit Atari computer set.

Youngest memories i have are when i was 3-5. Though until i was 10 or so i couldn't read well enough to understand anything i was playing. Then again playing asteroids and pacman, not much you need to know...

 

[UnDubious]

I was also going to say 4, like most of you. I don't really have any memories before that, so of course it's technically possible... but by 4-5 I had definitely played Mario and Duck Hunt.

 

[DeadVoivod]

That must have been 1979 on a Philips Videopac G7000, so I was 8.

 

[トマトちゃん]

Around 4 years old, a neighbor had a sega genesis and i played sonic 1 and 2 to death on it and those cheesy disney pc games. My mom's friend had a nes and one of those plug and play atari classics things.

One day my mom got a ps2 so i was playing like tekken, dynasty warriors, wwe smackdown by like age 5. Was I good at those games? debatable for a child LOL.

 

[DaxterDotEXE]

Between the age of 2 and 3, on the humble NES. Shout out to Contra and Double Dragon for rewiring my brain.

 

[SyphonFilter12]

I think I was 7.
