How long have you been playing?

***GemmaKnight*** · 05-27-2005, 07:23 AM

Greeting's all. I was just wondering how long has everyone been playing video games? I myself he been playing them for almost 24 years. I know, I know...call me a freak if you wish! I just find them so enjoyable.

I remember playing pong when it 1st came out. Back in the early 80's, played Tron at the arcade every lunch break.

I'm young........all I remember is that I started on the NES. (But, I did also play one of the Ataris......and a Vectrex) Probally around 15 years, off and on.

been playing since the nintendo came out... i wasn't a nerd, and i didn't have every single system, but i'd like to consider myself a hardcore gamer. that was then though. now i don't have the time or money to do that, plus i've lost interest. i'll play halo 2, and sports games like nba2kx and fight night round 2 occasionally on my bro's/friends' systems. other than those, the only games i get to play are the ones on this site.

bah come on, don't tell me you didn't have a technique/sequence to get it to work everytime, everyone had one.

mine was: wave it back and forth in the air with my hand, blow into the cartridge, blow into the system, insert cartridge, push it down, blow into system again, nudge the cartridge to the right as much as possible, leave the lid open, and voila... works every time.
