i must've been around 7 or 8 when i started gaming on a famicom clone. my younger sister got into her head that she wanted a console and got my parents to give her one. we used to play a lot growing up.
after the famiclone we got a sega master system, then a sega saturn, then a playstation.
she eventually stopped playing videogames. now she and her husband have a wii mostly for party games.
i had a playstation 2, playstation 3, psp and nintendo dsi xl.
will get vita and will continue playing for as long as i enjoy it no matter my age.
it's something i've been doing for like 20 years and i really enjoy it.
