The title says it all. How old were you when you first came across video games?

I think I was about 3 or 4 when I was first introduced to them. I remember watching my dad play a Star Wars game on our old Windows 98 computer. I got a chance to actually play the same game about a decade later.

I heavily depends on what's in the question.

I first found out about game consoles because my grandma had a Nintendo 64 when I was about 4 or 5 (It was pretty new back then). I never owned a real console until I was 10. But I started playing some edutainment PC games at the age of 3. Now that I think about it, I don't see many younger kids these days using a mouse or keyboard, just touchscreens.

So I guess I can say 3-5 years of age.

I think I was seven when I got to play Duck Hunt at some department store. In the bad old eighties. Or I got to watch some older boys do it.

Me?
Well, I was eight before I even heard of video games, let alone played one!
Sad right? Haha. Yeah. My first game I ever played was Sonic Heroes on GameCube.(Still have the game and GameCube, still in good condition!)
Haha, I was automatically sucked into the world of video games when I played Sonic Heroes!

I know that I was young when I first played video games but i'm pretty sure I was between the ages of five through seven the first game I ever played was either Banjo Tooie or Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64.

     Hmm... 5? That would have been 1990. Sounds about right. I had a NES and a hand full of games, Mario 1 and 3. Castlevania 2, not 1 or 3 of course. Megaman 2, Turtles 1, Zelda 1. I think that's it. Then in 1994 when I was about 9  I got a SNES with Zelda: A Link to the Past and Final Fantasy 3 (VI). I never got anything else from my parents, but that was enough to get the ball rolling for me...
     I still look back and think.. Wow, SNES, Zelda LttP and FF3 and once, wow.

I started playing Nintendo when I was six or seven but was playing some on the Commodore 64 even younger. One of my very first games was the original Mario Bros.

I don't really remember. My father had Bugertime, Tetris, Hangman and Jumpman on his computer. I was 6 at most, I guess.

I'd probably have to say... 8 years old. Outside of the fact that I had no clue what to do for the first 3 days of playing, it was indeed an amazing experience playing Super Mario Bros 3

I'd say I was about 6 years old, my older sister had a SNES and I started playing Super Mario World 3 once I turned about 8.

From there, gaming has been my passion...
