when i graduated from 3rd grade my mother gifted me a gameboy color with tony hawk pro skater and tetris.
 
I was playing Tekken and Pokemon at 4 years old and just went from there pretty much
 
My Compaq computer from 1997 came with preinstalled games.
 
PSP was my first real gaming console... Before that, I played a few games on a family friend's computer but nothing serious...
 
I never actually sat down and played a game until I was in high school, 90% of the games I know are because I sat down to watch my older brother play game cube and PS2
 
Playing Xbox One with my parents when I was around 5 years old
 
subhuman looks leads to people treating you shit irl

leads to you coping with gaming and you’ll end up making it your ‘world’

just another symptom of your subhumanity
 
My father introduced me. He gave me his SNES and N64
 
I was too young to remember exactly how I was first exposed, but I first played Minecraft around the time of its release. I remember playing it on my dad's laptop and also playing it at a daycare I went to with the daycare owner's son. I was obsessed with the game and exclusively played it.

bro wtf how old r u?
 
Uncle let me have his PS1 as he had brought a PS2 on its release day
 
Before my dad was arrested he got us a playstation that I would constantly use 24/7 to drown out the constant fighting and arguments in the house.

Don’t quite remember what I was playing exactly, it was too long ago…
 
I think it was when I played on the NES with my grandpa, I think I was like 4.
 
My aunt bought a famiclone for my 5th birthday. It would only aggravate from there.
 
It seems that everyone here had their own device when they first discovered video games.
I was introduced to vidya at my friend's home.
He was playing warcraft 3 constantly, a fantastic game
 
It was chinese ripoff of nintendo system that could run old mario games and that game where you shoot ducks in a game with real gun
 
The very first games I played were PC games made for little kids that my father had in compact disks. Then, later, he downloaded better games on the new computer, like Extreme Tux Racer. But I didn't play these often. What made me a "gamer" was the Nintendo DS and then Wii that my grandma bought for me and my brother. She knew that we'd like it, after all our older cousin from her side of the family had to repeat a year in school because he never studied and only played videogames all day.
 
When i was a kid in very early 2000s i first played on Nintendo clone while visiting family friends and another time also played on either PS1 or PS2 in Driver series. But the game that actually blew my mind was GTA Vice City when i visited neighbors' home around 2003-2005

My first console was some NES knock-off, which could play real NES cartridges.

I was 6 back then.

The second console I have ever gotten was a Playstation at 13.

First console I have ever bought with my own money was a Nintendo Gamecube iirc. I wish I had never sold it. Nice console with some interesting games.

Now I am an XBOX villain.
 
The Xbox with the white controller I have no clue what it's called then
Xbox One S.

That one was released in 2016, so you were five years old in 2016.

Good to know.

Whatever the case may be, you are DEFINITELY NOT 18 years old.

with each year there will be more and more young people on the internet and in case of this forum, mods can't do anything, any 14-16 year old larping as 18 can register here
 
Strange. It always calmed me down as well as that ambient sound when you let it just sit without a disc inside.

Sounds like the ocean at the beach. I could fall asleep to that.
Sony was cooking first class back then.

I was 4 mate, my brain had never listened to something like this before. Nah but yeah it is very soothing later on in life I would let it play for hours at night just to hear the waves. Many great memories
 
Metal Slug Arcade

Yeah, ok, but the kids telling on themselves should be banned still. Better yet, IP ban them or hardware ban if possible. kek

I remember hearing it for the first time at one of my cousins, who'd always get the latest consoles.

Every time he'd turn it on, I'd enjoy those sounds, just for him to quickly put a disc inside and game on.

As a kid I was somehow ashamed of liking this more than the games.
I could listen to that for hours instead, tbh.
 
Miniclip, newgrounds, nitrome etc
 
ive been a gamer for as long as i can remember..
