Omg, I'm really dating myself here, but I've been a gamer since like 1990. Feeling old now...

Been playing games since I was a kid, starting with Super Mario World with the SNES, and I was really into Tetris and Pacman at the arcade! But I suppose I started taking it more seriously around the time Half Life came out..

I think it was 98 when I was 6 years old! We had a Sega megadrive a long with a few games like Streets of Rage, Street Fighter 2, California Games and more. My older sister always used to play on them so I joined in.

For as long as I can remember. Way back in the Nintendo days. c; I still remember playing Mario 3 late at night with my mom, and trying to beat the original with my half sister, Amazingggg times.

For over ten years, I think. I''d play Super Mario World when I was younger, but it was actually games like Final Fantasy that REALLY got me into gaming. I'm still looking for the perfect RPG!

By the way, I love your Viera reference! I'm a big fan of Fran! :-)

I started playing games when I met my husband in 2002. I wouldn't consider myself a gamer till maybe a year later when I got addicted to Warcraft III DOTA and following with WOW.

Yeah, yeah. My ColecoVision says that you've got nothing to worry about.

Seriously, was a gamer from the point that I could hold a controller, got my NES in 1988 and that was the first console that was MINE and not THE FAMILY'S. Before that, a lot of love to the Coleco and I can still play Mr. Do along with the best of them. Recorded a video of myself beating the world record for the game Pepper II on the Coleco, but by the time I had it ready to send in, someone else had beat the score I had, so never technically had the record :(. I feel like quite possibly the oldest gamer on here after reading what I just wrote...

I've been playing since the days of Super Mario on the SNES; I was about 5 years old then, so that would mean I've been playing video games for about 14 years.
