how old were you when you got addicted to video games??

I was somewhere between 6 and 8 and I had to spend the day at a neighbor's house because my mom had stuff to do. I was upset that I couldn't play Sonic 3 (Best game on the Genesis), and I realized that I loved videogames more than I thought.

From then on, I figured that if games made me happy, I'd play them.

umm, I think I was 9 when I started playing PC games. And I never stopped, although I have moved on to consoles.mechworrior762

Not everyone here is addicted....blingchu55

I guess from about 7 or 8 years old when I got my Sega Master System.

Let's see Pokemon Red came out in '98 and I was addicted to my brothers Pacman for 1 year at that point.

So five years old

I started playing video games when I was five and got an Atari 2600 for my birthday. But I think I became addicted by the time I was eight, when I got a NES for christmas. It came bundled with two controllers, a Zapper, a Power Pad, and a cartridge containing Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt and Worldclass Track Meet.

Um.... Let me think... that was a long time ago. I think I was seven and I had an atari with Pac man, Beserk, and Yars Revenge. I'm in my early 30's.:cry:BaconBurns

I feel you, 33 here, and I think it was the 2600 for me.
