5 or something. its hard to pinpoint the age of the memory but about that time.

I'm playing less and less games even though I buy a game I play for about 20min and then I stop and return to it maybe a day or two later. last games I bought was Vanquish and Halo 4 and I also got NSMB2 as a present and I still haven't opened it...

Well my kid is not even two years old yet and he likes to play angry birds and forza. I guess he will be a gamer. :)

He would also love to play master of orion, but it is too hard for him!



I'm one of ten kids, when i was younger 4ish my older siblings were always playing the commador 64 or spectrum, i was 5 before my first commador casset game loaded (started at 4) ;) eurgh that loading screen......anyway i dont think i will stop gaming it is a part of my life now



I was around 7-8, it all started with a Nintendo 64
