Btw... the poll shows our median age is 41 to 45, which is probably not accurate. I think we've got a lot of younger guys in their 20s who just visit the Xbox forum and that's it, and they aren't aware of the poll.

I had video games forced on me. Always having to be watched/ignored at the supermarket by my brother playing Pacman and Space Invaders. We even had to share an Atari 2600 for Christmas that I didn't even want or know wtf it was. I finally found some games that I liked (Atlantis & Airlock) while digging through the poor people games pile at Kaybee Toys in the mall.
 
39 here.

Oh boy 40 is looming, that's another chapter I guess?

Got into games through C64. Wizards of Wor, Jumpan Jr, Pitstop etc. (those are the 3 cartridges I remember having, rest were on floppy disk, load runner, fast eddy, fort apache? rambo etc)

My dad didn't think playing video games were productive, wouldn't get me a Nintendo. My first console I convinced him to get me was TG16, I loved it but it didn't last long (they still work, just failed in the market)

Fast forward and I'm a teenager almost adult who didn't have consoles as a kid (other than TG16) and I start reading about this Mbox, it's gonna have a hard drive and you can put your music on there and play games like Tony Hawk with your own music playing like it's the soundtrack. s***, maybe I should get this thing and get into games finally!

Been doing Xbox ever since. Xbox Live when it came out was amazing.

Games now just don't have that new experience any more but I still enjoy firing up a game for an hour or two on a day off. I have quite a bit of off time from work yet it doesn't seem like I can just sit down and game for crazy amount of hours like I used to.

So basically I went from playing C64 to playing NES in department stores, trying out SNES/Genesis through friends, getting a TG16 then basically barely ever playing consoles until Xbox came onto the scene.

I feel like I missed out a bit.

I'm 35.

I got into gaming cause of the NES..then fell in love with gaming when I bought my Sega Megadrive (Genesis). From there I bought the Saturn and then the Dreamcast. Most of my friends had Nintendo and Sony consoles. My friends bought a N64 cause of its power and I played most of its must have games (Mario, Ocarina of Time, Golden Eye, Metroid etc.) at their place. I remember the Nintendo vs Sega and Sony vs Sega days. Whenever I played multiplayer on someone else's console, like Tekken or Mario Kart, I used to beat them at it. This still happens so often. I'll never understand how ppl can talk all that s*** but lose at playing their own games.

After Sega died and Xbox had the Jet Set Radio Future + Sega GT bundle I got my Xbox. Xbox has been my favorite platform ever since Halo and Xbox Live.

Wow I thought I'd be the oldest one here lol, I'm 44. I started gaming with the Atari 2600 but didn't get really into it hardcore until the SNES came out. I had the regular NES etc but my twin brother always hogged the gaming time so it wasn't until I bought my own console that I was able to take over lol.
 
NES was oldest I remember playing but now I remember finding either an Atari or Commodore in the attic once. My brother is 10 years older than me (41) so it would make sense for him to have an older gaming system. Also pretty sure my cousins had an Atari but only remember playing it once. They also had a "gaming" PC long before I did and remember playing games like Descent.
 
27. Joined TXB when I was about 16. Started gaming around the same time honestly. I had obviously played video games before that, but around the age of 16 when the 360 came out I really got into it.

Im 48.
Been gaming since the pong days.
I used to play multiplayer online shooters a lot. I had a Halo website dedicated to doing glitches and tricks for awhile...Spent countless hours trying to do tricks in that game...
I didnt game at all for a few years until recently. Now I just casually play single player. Playing Fallout 4 right now. Ill get an hour or two in each evening after I go to the gym and before the wife gets home. I rarely play on the weekends.
 
He’s too scared to post his age for some reason. At least if he was young his opinions, thoughts, takes, and arguments would make sense since he’s young I could understand that. Now if he’s old and acts this way... well... that’s just pathetic.

Please. I play Chess while most of y'all play Checkers.

Intelligent people don't ask their opposition's age. You either deconstruct their arguments with reason and logic or...you learn something and move on.

I take no issue with the thread in general. I just think it's funny a few of you rabble rousers have this age hang up with me specifically.

Grow.
