I didn't vote in your poll cause it seems very flawed lol. You left out a huge group of young teenagers. For topics sake I'm 26, married with a 8 month old son.

I'm 36. I've been playing video games longer than I can remember- console mostly.

Atari 2600. The first game I can recall playing is Jungle Hunt, circa 1982.

First computer game was Bruce Lee, around the same time, early 80's.

In the summer of 1985 my brother bought the NES at the age of 10 with tip money he earned from baiting hooks for fishermen. It only came with one controller and Super Mario Bros (Duck Hunt and "the gun" didn't come out until that following Christmas). Needless to say we had every kid in the neighborhood at our house, everyday, taking turns on Mario for six months, until they got their own system. I recall my mother throwing fits from all the kids in the house.

I've probably spent over $300 in quarters of my parents' money in the arcade playing games like Return of the Jedi, Mortal Kombat, Dig Dug, Street Fighter, and Arkanoid (amongst 100's of others) during the mid 80's to early 90's.

I spent hours playing Zelda: A Link to the Past for the SNES, 1992. I dropped out of college because of Ocarina of Time for N64, 1998.

I played GTA on XBOX for years (plus other games), 2000-2004.

I started playing MMOs in 2005.

34/ps4/NA

Had an Atari 2600/Intellivision/ and a Nintendo when I was a kid. Been gaming ever since.
I used to be a big time PC gamer but I've completely stopped playing PC games. I don't have the time or drive to mess with PC anymore. I've played mmos of all kinds probably beginning with ultima. Love that kind of pvp. ESO is the game that has brought me back into the genre completely. Others like ffxiv were great but nothing has grabbed me like this game.

61 been playing online games seems forever, Ultima Online beta was my first and it turned my 14 year old son into loving PvP, he was Trinox and pretty well known.

21, old enough to drink as much as my characters in TES smart enough not to. First game I remember was super Mario world, second big one was zelda OOT I still love that game and I still have the original. never going to buy the 3d remakes big waste of money for not much change in gameplay.

I'm 34 years young, having begun my gaming addiction on a Tandy 1000. I grew up longing for an Atari, and then a NES, both of which were a "hard no" by the parental units. "Games will rot your brains," they said. I eventually managed to procure a N64 after mowing lawns for the better part of a summer, and things have only gotten better every year since. Goldeneye was my first love. Halo was the next leap. Ultima Online (in 2D) stole my soul. Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind broke my soul. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion mended my mangled soul. I still haven't found the time to romp around Skyrim, and now I'm not sure I'll ever have the time now that ESO has sucked me in.

65 here.
The first game that got me hooked was dungeon master on the Amiga 2000. Remember staying up into the wee hours mapping the dungeons on graph paper.
I still have that Amiga 2000 and an amiga 1200 in my basement.

34. Dad of 3. Work 40 plus hours a week.

Ive been a mark for Elder Scrolls since Daggerfall, and I absolutely love this game! LOL... partially because I get to goto all the places I've visited in the games over the years.

Played Mario on NES as my first game, but was a duck hunt nerd too!

I always have played a Khajit Assassin type character, but in ESO...I am digging my DragonKnight.

Anyway, shoot me an add or something if you are on DC on Xbox (NA). I am heavily single player-in it right now, but am starting to want to do group dungeons, etc.

42 and on PS4. Been gaming since Pong.

Good for you. I was an idiot at 21, and at 25 I thought the drinking age should be changed to about 30.

First game system was the nintendo and played super mario 1 & 3, but my favorite was Punchout.

First and only MMORPG was a small PC game called Dransik New World (later name changed to Ashen Empires). Played that from beta (2001 or 2002ish) until around 2009.

Went from Nintendo, to PS1 , to PS2 ( for GTA 3) then finally got xbox 360 in 2010. Been a Call of Duty fan since then but waited patiently for a console MMORPG that interested me. Gave Fable III and Skyrim a shot and loved both of them. Played Dragon Age:Inquisition xbone up until ESO came out and now here I am.

46,

Played the only real MMORPG ever released, Asherons Call.

I renewed my sub the other day, the character is over 20 years old.

The sad thing is i probably understand him better than my 7 year old daughter......

AC is still up and running? That's crazy. I met my husband in my Allegiance 15 years ago during open beta. *sniff*

PS. I should be probably doing more important things, like revising instead of playing games.

@Seberii stop now while you have the chance!!

Actually, I didn't and 25 years later, despite all the warnings I have still got the two houses, 1 child a wife and a decent social life.

Heck, I've still got that one on my shelf. Actually, I've still got almost everything that was published for AD&D 1e sitting on my shelf... Sadly, my copy of Dieties and Demigods is not the edition that contains the Cthulhu mythos.

Let's see first system was sega genesis (hand me down) logging serious hours on joe montana football, ninja gaiden (or whatever the ninja running across buildings was), and mortal combat. A lot of this was alongside my older bro. I'm 28 he's 44 now maybe idk time flies. So this when I was like 8.
