Ever wish you were born earlier?

No. I loved last gen, so I'm glad it was going on through my middle school and high school years. If anything, I just kinda wish I had gotten into gaming earlier. I wasn't that interested in gaming until last gen, but after exploring some of the PS1/N64 classics that I missed on the first go around I still prefer last gen.

If theres any reason I would have liked being born earlier is maybe for the culture, music, the movies and the economy, not the games.

being born in 82, i experienced the sega/ninty height of gaming, and to be perfectly honest, i enjoy the games now more than back then when i was a kid. not only are the games more immersive.also trial and error is minimized so 1 hour worth of gameplay isnt stretched out to 20+ hours. first time i beat a game it took 8 hours, but after that,it took like 1 to 2 hours.

Yes, because if I was I wouldnt have become addicted to the games of today..they are so long and complex and there is multiplayer now. If all I had to play was mario and pacman I wouldn't mind not playing video games for a week at a time or longer.

I was born in Jan 1st 1988, and my first system was SNES and then went back and played the NES, I am quite happy with what I have played..so no I don't want to be older.

39 here, being born in 1972 and the youngest I got to play my older siblings pong when it was released. Not sure I knew I was playing it at that time exactly but my mother said I cried if I didn't get to turn the dial, I was around 6 months old I think. I've been gaming ever since and probably always will. I've been here since the beginning and wouldn't change a thing. A few things I'd comment on from earlier post, someone mentioned memory costing 100's of dollars, when I was probably 12 I guess it cost myself a friend $440 for a half meg upgrade on our cocoa pc's. Both of us saved up all summer long and had some money chipped in from our parents to afford that one. Also, someone commented on older gamers not thinking old games were that fun anymore, honestly I still feel the magic of popping in super mario on the snes. Something about that game still holds up better than almost all other games out. Was never much of a megaman player but I did live for the ghost and goblin series, we used to play that game so much that it became sheer memory to play through it. Honestly I think while games are becoming more and more advanced they are losing some of there magic for the most part. Probably for that reason alone I find myself always going back to my DS collection where the games at least remind me of my youth.

I'm 33. I started with game and watches from Nintendo, skipped to Atari, NES, Amiga, Megadrive, SNES, Playstation, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, PS2, gamecube, xbox, xbox360, some Wii and then PS3. I also entered PC gaming in 1998 when online gaming was enjoyed in a cybercafé (gaming and drinking!! good times) and had some handheld memories too (gameboy, gamegear, NintendoDS, PSP). I feel like I've enjoyed all the good from all generations of gaming. I wouldn't wanna change a thing.
