Just thought of how long I have been gaming

Started in the 80's as well, with the Atari 2600, and swear I have had almost every popular console since! Love my life lol

 

Since I was 6, Atari 2600, plus the basketball, football, hockey hand held game, where they were nothing but lines

 

Right there with you, TC:

Pong, Electronic QB and Odyssey2 in 1970s

TI994A and NES in 1980s

Sega Genesis and PC (3dfx Voodoo Graphics) in 1990s

Dreamcast, Xbox and X360 in 2000s

X1 in 2010s

 

Ah Dig Dug was brilliant. I remember finishing Ghost Busters on 2600 over and over (Spoilers!!! Fighting Marshmellow Man and crossing the streams haha).

Also remember being so excited to get Double Dragon and then being crushed by how absolutely terrible it was haha.

 

Intellivision, NES, Playstation 1, Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4. Kinda looks like I skipped most of the 90's.

 

I'm on decade 4 here since I was born in the 1980s.

 

I also have been here since the 80's. I remember pong on Atari. It's amazing to see how advanced gaming has become. I Look forward to the future of games in 2014!...

 

4th decade. My parents unleashed the monster when I was 5 with a brand new Colecovision. Haven't looked back since.

 

I'm on my 3rd.. started in early'ish 90s with NES and some DOS games

 

5th here also. I still have that original Binatone Pong console from the 70s back home at my mothers.

 

I never would have imagined back when the best gaming as a kid was outrun and space harrier and cabal in the arcade, I think it was 81/82 at 6 and 7 I first played street fighter,the machine with the giant buttons, then we had an atari console,breakout,
pacman defender,space invaders was awesome and being able to actually play games at home and it not cost you 50pence a play,lmao.

And look at gaming now,my god we didnt even have a colour tv till 1979,and you were lucky to have one then in my area,it is truely amazing what we have in our own homes for gaming entertainment,never in the whole of the human race,have we been able to communicate
with other human beings with the speed we have today,special times, the age of aquarius is certainly happening even down to gaming.

Great thread tohellnback

 

Same here, 5 decades and counting lol.

 

Born in the 90's. Xbox 360 was my first game console 8ish years ago...

 

I thought the Sega channel that Time Warner cable offered was a genius idea.. You paid something like $20 a month for almost every game Sega Genesis had to offer
