I am not really sure when I started gaming. I just started when I became aware of it I guess. I can't point to an exact place and time when I first started. It just seemed like a fun thing to do.

I wonder how many people started playing games with Brick Games or Family computers here.

I think I started playing game a the age of 6, there is a particular game we play on the ground. We draw a rectangular box with twelve holes and place 4 pieces of stones in each hole.

You will be selecting one box and pass the stones from one box to another until you no longer have any left in your hand. We called the game "Nchor". It's quite a very funny game.

Although I hardly see any of these new generation kids play that game, with the invention of phones and computer games, our Nchor game faded away and got replaced by new games.

The year 1988 when I started to play family computer and my favorite are "Battle City" and "Pacman". Year 1997 when I got my first game boy and I love to play "Super Mario" in my game boy. Now I do really enjoy "candy crush" and "farmville2". It's a boring game compared to the games of this kids generation but that's the only game I do really enjoy.

I started playing old windows games on my school computer when I was a kid. From those days my interest in games developed. My father bought the first PC in 2002. I played Need for Speed, Road Rash, Age of Empires 2, FIFA 2001 and Cricket for many hours at ends. During the weekends, I used to play more than 6 hours.I would invite my school friends to play with me on the weekends.

I was a kid of the mid and late 1980s so my first exposure to this stuff was Atari and Apple, and my 2nd exposure was the original Nintendo and the SuperNintendo (note the SuperNintendo may have come out around 1990, though). Anyway, that stuff was a blast, even though, it was so primitive. Has anyone else started on those things?

I'm pretty sure that I got into gaming by playing the playstation 1 years back, playing racing games, crash bandicoot and the classic alien trilogy game on it.

I first started gaming on my PS1, which my eldest brother bought for me, damn I used to love that thing. Then as I started to play more and newer consoles were being released such as the PS2 and original Xbox, I moved onto those and then kept going and going..

NINTENDO SIXTE FOOOOOOOOOUR!

I was a teenager when that came out but I was very excited for the games that I dreamed would be coming out on it. It had a lot to do with my long standing love of the Super Nintendo. "Imagine what they could do with 64 bits!". To this day I still think it's iteration of Paper Mario is still the best.

I did remember my first time playing video game back in the day where family computer games are so popular, I remember playing pacman, super mario and many other awesome and exciting games. Back in the day when I was a kid where all children play outside where some people call us "90's Kids", because of the reason we do play a lot of outdoor games, like Pico, Patintero and many more. But then because of the popularization of family computers, kids did feel like staying at home and playing video games more rather than playing outside.

I started playing games with my cousins on their console. My parents couldn't buy me one so I played at my cousins' house. Later my friends started playing some computer games and then I had my PC as well.

I played my first game on PC. In the gaming industry, PC games are getting more and more popular for many different reasons. For the most part, it is an escape from reality. That alone helps understand why people want to play PC games. There are a huge number of types of PC games. Each site has examples of each of these types. Searching online will give you websites that have the ones you like. Or, try them all, then choose your favorite. Some of the types of games include: FIFA 18, Destiny 2, Call of Duty World War 2, Playerunknown's battlegrounds, World of warcraft 60 tage.
