Revenge of Shinobi, you have a lot to answer for!

My favourite Sega game probably

I still think Doom was the worst thing that happened to gaming.

I'm a very young 37.

Not long turned 34, and have been gaming since I was old enough to hold a controller, so I reckon about 31 years or so now.

Still gaming here though given up online stuff against real ppl as I'm hopeless at it. Prefer strategy games, ie: slower, (like me) and I turned 57 in October.

42 here aswell, cut my teeth on a ZX81 with Mazogs and Black Crystal.

I have to laugh at all the wives who obviously married us on the assumption that gaming was something we were going to grow out of

Shamikebab · 16 Dec 2011 at 08:33

God you're all old

sprightly 26 here.

dcsarge · 16 Dec 2011 at 08:55

I remember when all this were fields and we made our own entertainment!

I'm 37 and gaming since the Atari 2600

Old grumpy farts the lot of you. Oh I'm a young 36. Been gaming since that damn wheel paddle tennis/ping pong console came out.

Benihana · 16 Dec 2011 at 09:16

Ive come to terms with gaming just being a hobby that I like, not embarassed about it any more.
