You're not too old, I'll be playing video game until I die.

Let me guess - you're stuck on the dream sequence in Max Payne?

WINNER!!! :)

Oh, I'm 32.

Old enough to remember Atari 2600 being given to my brother and I for X-Mas in the early 80's.

21, soon to be 22 here. Im glad that there is an older crowd here, makes me feel like there are some valuable opinions here, and not just puberty kicking in.

I think that's mainly because most teenagers don't have money to spend on DVDs, which is how most people find this place :)

My first system was the Atari 2600 never had the pong home game, but I remember it.

I'm 32.

Hey, I'm in the same boat. My first system was Atarti 2600 then I remember other systems I had. I'm not sure what order they came in, let's see Intellavision, Coleco-Vision, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, and Commodore 64. Of course, the Nintendo's and most of the consoles after that.

Oh by the way, I'm 31.

I should add that even though I'm 22, I have been playing games since I could pick up a controller. My parents bought "me" a NES for christmas the year it launched. I use quotes because I remember my father and his buddies playing it all of the time even though they bought it for me. I still remember that christmas though, and I've been in love with video games ever since.

First gaming machine was a Texas Instruments TI-99/4a.

I guess I'm bringing in the rear, being twenty years of age.

Intellivision --> ColecoVision --> Nintendo --> Sega Genesis --> Super Nintendo --> Nintendo 64 --> PS2 --> Gamecube

Just turned 26 last week.

Still gaming strong. However, my patience for bad games and/or overly difficult games has decreased astronomically. I used to pound a game into submission until I beat it... once I started it, I was going to finish it. Hours upon hours of repetition. Contra without cheats, Ghosts and Goblins all the way through (yes, both times for you G&G vets. I still feel scarred from that all-night broken controller fiesta).

Now, I give up very easily when I feel I can't devote enough time to complete something. I just have too many other things I want to do I guess.... but gaming will always be one of them.

I'm 21. I feel like the youngster.

I remember picking up Atari 2600 when I was 10, I can't believe I was spending 50 bucks for atari games back then like astroids, space invaders, defender, etc... Now I'm 36 and still cruising on my playstation 2 and only paying 20 bucks for games. I usually wait until the games become that price.

My first gaming "system" was a magnavox Odyssey.

I do mostly RTS and RPG games now. I lack the ability to successfully "twitch" for games like Farcry and Doom3.

I didn't realise we were posting our oldest, crustiest systems here... ;)

I bet nobody on this forum ever owned one of these:

24 and getting into games even more so in my older more slowed down age.

I've been 30 for a couple days now.

My first (and only) console was an Atari 2600. I'm now strictly a PC gamer.

TSR-80 was the first thing that I played a video game on (then an Atari 5200, NES, etc.)

Same.

Atari 2600 (grew up watching dad and brother play) > Atari 5200 > ColecoVision (B.C. Tires!) > NES > Genesis [Sega CD] > N64 > PS2 > GBA > GameCube > GBA SP. Probably get a Nintendo DS next, and maybe I can get an XBox for Christmas.
