I only started liking video games recently though..when I lost all my friends.

Hah - that's funny - most people lose their friends when they start liking video games...

27.

I think I am finally starting to lose interest. Or rather, other things are slowly becoming more important than video games.

23, although I don't play games that much. PGR2 once in a while and I bought Hitman 3 to play, it's fun.

Same with me as i turn 22 in 2 weeks. Gone are the NES days where i could play any crappy game for hours on end. These days a game has to be really good and interesting for me to spend my time on.

What a bunch of geezers on this board. lol.

28, married and with a 2 month old baby girl today. Needless to say, with a baby, I don't get much play anymore. Video games either.

Oh, and I'm 31. Me and my 7 year old son play online together quite a bit. He'll be taking over the throne soon as I'm way too busy to keep going.

I'm 30-freaking-8... but nobody can tell cuz i act like im 12.

Started with the Atari VCS (I never said 2600!! it was the Sears Tele-Games version!)

Ooh wait.. I lied.. memory fading... I had PONG from Sears with 2 controllers and it had a couple versions of PONG. I thought that was SOOOO AWESOME... playing a video game on my TV! heheh

Then just before E.T. was out, I sold all my games and the VCS and got an Atari 800 computer! MULE!!!! MULE!!! MULE!! ahhhhh

Then I stuck with that and then the Atari ST until I finally caved in and got a Genesis...then PS1 and N64 and then Jaguar, dreamcast, xbox, ps2 and GC, and GBA!

But slowly starting to lose interest in the newer games. Don't have as much time or money being married with 2 kids 4 & 6 months old

29, been gaming since the original Pong machine (my parents had one). I'm married and expecting my first child any day now.

21. fartin' dust.
