Something over 30 years.

Started in the mid '70s with tictactoe on a KIM, Adventure on an IBM mainframe, some wire-framed maze game on something I can't remember and, perhaps the earliest, hunting mugwumps on a giant digital/analogue hybrid machine in Bradford in 1974/75.

(gulp) oldest?



i've been playing since the original NES. so maybe 18-20 years :)



Since 1990, Atari 2600, NES, so for 18 years (yes I did start when I was two, yes I do remember the first game I ever played it was mario bros on NES)

@SPDK1
Yes grampy could tell us stories of what life was like during the gaming depression of 1983 and how horrible E.T. really was!

I though I was an old gamer ...

Apparently it is true : The average hardcore gamer is 31 years old !



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

1998. 10 years. :D (Was gaming before that. But on DOS. Lol.) I got my Playstation 1 that year.



I remember playing first on Atari 512ST. It was in late 1980's, on a Breakout clone, Bolo.

Damn ! More than 20 years of gaming !



Since 1996.
