I'm 24, and I started playing computer games when we got our first computer. (It had a CD-Rom drive. Double-speed. VERY cool. LOL) That was in 1992 or 1993, so I would have been 11 or 12 then. My first game was either The Secret of Monkey Island or Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (can't remember which came first).

I'm 27 now. The first game I ever played was Ghostbusters (my brother got it along with Commodore 64 back in 1983).
I was 5 when I started playing games: Ghostbusters, The Return of the Phantom Karate Devils (yes that's one long title), Blue Max, Frogger, Snoopy,...

I'm 31 and started at 5 or 6 with Pong (yes, Pong) on my cousin's console system, if you want to call it that. It was some sort of box that plugged into the TV and played Pong and variations thereof (which weren't many) in black and white. There were no cartridges; everything was hardcoded into the box. Dedicated Pong consoles rock, d00dz! Not long after that, the same cousin got a Commodore VIC-20, which was the first personal computer I ever touched. Somewhere in between, though, I got an Atari 2600, and my own videogame saga was begun. It came with Combat and Space Invaders. I believe I played Combat first.

i'm 18.
I can't remember when I started playing, but it must have been something like 4 or 5, I also can't put my finger on what was my first game, but I ruined a lot of "nightmare on elmstreet" savegames back then (I didn't know an english word, and the words "save" and "load" are exactly the same length!) I also remeber spending countless hours with "stargoose", and some game where you play either a gigant, or a godzilla, and have to destroy villgaes in order to find the egg (to eat it, or care for it respectivley).

I'm 24, and I started playing at the age of 8, on my uncles C64. I don't remember the first game I owned, but the first game I ever played was Lemans for the C64.
