I was a toddler. It was at an arcade. My brother held me up so I could reach the buttons. Good times.

My grandfather used to take me to the arcades when I was young.  It was really just an excuse for him to play the various games!  I'd usually just end up watching.

The same for me, mostly. My brother could beat the entire game of Pac-Man with one quarter. I was in awe.

Ha, seven or eight years old, the first doom.


The joystick was red and black. I remember being amused that I could blast through the entire game with a knuckle brace and getting stuck in the walls. XD

Doom was definitely an early memory in my teenage time. It's one of the titles that got me into the glory that is the metal.

Case in Point.

First time I played a game?

I was like 6 years old at the Calgary Tower and played some with my Grandfather.
He kicked ass at the light gun games...what with 40 years in the military and all.

 It was the original Prince of Persia in DOS and I was probably about 5, at my Dad's work.

The original C&C was the first I played with any regularity.

Same here, although I was 12 or 13 at the time.

I don't know. As I remember 6. Monkey Island and Doom
I might had played Atari or Nintendo sooner with my cousins .. but no memory available.

I've been playing video games for as long as I can remember. So, I couldn't give an age. Though I remember the first system I ever played on was the original gray brick of a Gameboy.

[Joy Divison]

Atari 2600 baby. Damn I'm old...

[weedyfun]

[jcainhaze]

Some boxing kangaroo game on atari and I think I was around 8 yrs old.

[Cyberarmy]

4-5 years old Pac-Man at computer, Riverraid on arcade machines.
Seems like its a million years behind...

[FeralEwok]

About 5 I guess. Mortal Kombat for Sega.

My brother would shameless beat me to death despite being six years my senior.

I got him back years later during the first xbox by constanly smacking him down in ever MP game we played.

First console for me to own: N64.

First two games Shadows of the Empire and Goldeneye. It set the bar pretty damn high.

[Chuvvy]

Four or fiveish.

[Melra]

Three. I think it was test drive or something. First need for speed or some silly car game, that I enjoyed very muchos grandes.

Asteroids on the Atari 2600 when I was... what? 3-4?

[Arcadian Legend]

I was 3 when I played my first game, and that was Super Mario Bros 3 on the NES.

Does Space Invaders on an arcade machine count?  If so, Space Invaders.  20 cents a game iirc.  There was a machine in the Fish and Chip shop.  It was very popular.  Those poor invaders didn't stand a chance against us kids.  That would have been in 1979 or so and I was 15.

OMG - now I feel old 

I'd post a pic but I don't think they'd invented cameras then (I joke, I joke.  We had one.  A box brownie I think).

Does it make me old if I can remember a time before video games existed? I actually remember putting machine language into my dad's Commodore 64 and using the checksum program to make sure it was error free. I think the first program we put in was Pong. followed by Space Raiders. At that time disk drives did not exist yet, and machines used tape drives. For some reason Sprite graphics were all of the rage.

Ahhh, that was an eternity ago.

The rich kids (or rather their parents) could afford floppy discs, though a drive and controller were something like £400: early '80s prices, of course; I dread to think what that would be in today's money!  I think the menace of wrinkly cassette tape was the biggest obstacle to my gaming back then.

I dug up an old Tandy catalogue a while back and was reminded of the state-of-the-art TRS-80 model 2 with its enormous bank of three 8" floppies!  They don't make 'em like that any more.  Sadly, I threw the catalogue away: I always regret clear-outs.
