So when did you become a gamer?

Pr0 · 03-03-2006, 06:32 PM

I better start off with me...

I became a gamer when I was around 4 or 5 (can't remember). My Dad bought the NES and I played it for quite a bit. I was introduced to Doom and Duke3D a couple years later. However, I didn't become an avid gamer until the end of 6th grade when I was introduced to Starcraft! Man...I love that game! Anywho, you can I'm a computer freak nowadays because of my Dad, lol. And he's the one complaining.

I was adicted to Pong and Pole Position! (What can I say...)

well i always played computer games, but i wouldnt consider myself a gamer since i only played demo games and only once and a while. I got into real gaming probably around 8th grade, probably when we got our new compaq.

i had an ATARI VCS 2600... the games were awful... i accidentally dropped it once and it didn't work again so i threw it away. i looked on ebay a few months ago and saw one going for a stupid amount of money

Back in 1987, I was 9 years old and 8Bit Nintendo came. I cannot begin to describe how much fun that was or how many hours of my life it consumed. Then my friends Atari woke my interest for computers and I got my Amiga 500 which i soon upgraded from 512KB to 1MB work memory. After that a 25MHz 486 machine followed etc...
