28 years or so. I am 32 and I have fond memories of my first game & watch Donky Kong when I was about 5. I owned most of those handhelds along with Packman, Frogger and Lupin.
The first console I bought with my own money was the NES though. Man I loved Zelda, Super Mario and Metroid.
I was a huge fan of the arcade though and used to live there playin' Gallaga, Double Dragon, Pyro, Willow, Slap Fight, 1942, Discs of Tron, Twin Cobra, Tiger Heli, Tiger Shark & Street Fighter. God there were some amazing 20 cent games.
I must say that currently both Nintendo and SONY are keeping these feelings allive for me.
Gamer for life!
