Poll: How old are you guys

34 here and started gaming with an old two-player Pong console then moving Spectrum 128k as first proper computer with the tape deck you had to use a screwdriver on to make it play tapes properly after a while. Started my first program on it making the Union Jack as well. 
First PC gaming was a friends 386 PC/Megadrive all-in-one combo (think it was the Amstrad Mega PC) to play X-Wing on that encouraged me to get my own.

*edit* ZX Spectrum.
Amstrad CPC 464
Amiga

Then got into PC gaming in 2004 as I played FarCry on a mates PC and was totally blown away by it.

Mine still works! Got the full colour monitor as well as a load of old classics like Gauntlet etc.

Daaaamn ... Hadn't realised that there are a fair few boring old farts on here. How about we all get together and do a silver surfers meet up - I've never felt comfortable going to one of them hip OcUK meet ups.
Age restriction 30+ if you're male, however no such discrimination for female guests - just be legal

42.
Gaming since the original Atari console - then tapes on the Spectrum and Amiga etc etc. First proper PC was a DX2 66 and I remember you had to make a boot disc for each game - lols. Had a PC of one designation or another ever since for gaming. Bought a 360 a few months ago but found my brain is now hardwired for mouse and keys and i 'hand spaz' trying to play shooters on it.
