Remember YOUR first video game? How old is too old?

First game I played was Super Mario Bros. 1 on the NES about 17 years ago (I was 6).

Oldest person I know who plays games is my gran who's in her late 60's. She can actually kick my arse at Tetris.

What was the first game (PC, Nintendo, Sega, PS, Xbox) you've played ever in your whole life?

How old is the oldest person you know (you included) who still plays video games?

The first game I ever played was Duck Hunter for the SNES. I loved that game, it was so addicting.

The oldest person I know who still plays video games is my uncle who is 41

My first game was Pong, which is no real news flash. A lot of people can say the same. But then I got hooked on the Arcade games like....Space Invaders, Asteroids, Pacman, Ms. Pacman, Donkey Kong, Centipedes...etc. A friend of mine even bought a table version of Space Invaders, that you would see in a cocktail lounge, for his home....that was awesome fun !

I stopped playing after the arcade thing died out and started back up again in 2001 with an Xbox and Halo. The following year I started with PC gaming and haven't looked back since.

I'm the oldest person gaming that I know....54, soon to be 55..............8)

Some top down racing game on the Intellivision on the console, don't remember the name though. Joust in the Arcade. and Q-bert on the PC.kilaan

Was it Tripple Action on the Intellivision? Did it include a tank and plane game as well?

I loved the tank part of that game. The bouncing bullets with stealth tanks made for a fun game. Lots of accidental shooting would occur from shoot checking you location and having the bullet bounce back into you.

+1 (on Sega Mega Drive)

Super Mario World got me into gaming. StarCraft, UT99, Quake 3, Deus Ex got me into PC gaming.ChrisJ2004

Believe it or not but Sega Smash Pack 2 came with a game called Shining Force that got me into pc gaming AND console rpgs :P.

My first console was a famicon back in 91 or 92 at the age of 6, and the first games i recall playing were, Don Key Kong, Super mario, and Duck Hunt. I've been an avid gamer ever since, I got into PC gaming in the late 90's, my first computer games were, Men In Black, NBA Live 99, and Worms Armaggedon I think. tough I did play a lot of Carmen San Diego around 95 in a friend`s computer, but back then consoles were much better. The oldest gamer I know is in his early 30`s.

sonic series are so much better on sega.look at them now =s....eva89

i'm still going to buy the collection as it allows you to play all the old ones. and even some i haven't played (Triple Trouble)

The first computer game I remember was Spy Hunter on theCommodore 64 in 1983. I was only 5.

My first game was Dave, back in 1992. The oldest game I know is my grandpa, who loves Warcraft and some history-based strategy games (such as AOE) and plays then alot (actually, he was the who showed me Dave).

dont remember but it was on Atari (im 23)

the oldest person that i know that plays video games is my friends grandma...shes over 60 and owns a PS2...crazzzy....wish that was my gma

Probably first was back on the vic 20s and commodor 64s. Oldest person i know is about 30 atm that actively plays games.

And to your 2nd question i say you are never too old for games.

awesome game

maybe i could go play it now hm

Pffff, no idea, but the very first games I played were the once you had to write from a book into your pc before you could play them... really insanely old games, some were like Pong, some totally different.

Pretty much played everything between then and now, but compared to those first games back then Doom 1 was extremely next -gen. :lol:

That's funny. I remember the first time I saw Doom on a friends computer, just before I upgraded from the old POS I mentioned above. I remember my jaw dropping at the life like graphics. At the time, I couldn't picture them getting any better than that.

I started playing in early nineties on arcade machines , gameboy and pc - first pc game that i remember is prince of persia in dos (hard as hell :) ) I guess I'm oldest gamer i know :) -26 - my opinion is if you're not too old for watching movies , listening music or appreciate any other art , you're not too old for playing video games either. rissbo

Ha, we are the oldest gamers here probably...I'm only 19...darn kids!
