How Long Have You Been Gaming?

[mlauzon]

Well, I've been gaming since the days of the Commodore VIC-20 -- or maybe a little before that -- & C64. The first computer I played video games on was the CV-20 way back in 1980...so all in all, I've been gaming for well over 30yrs.

I've included a poll with this post, so be honest with your answers.

Well I'm gonna abstain from the poll as I do not consider myself a gamer in the modern since of the term, as I do not really play a lot of modern video games.
Yes I do play a couple of old school shooter games like Serious Sam & Doom but that is about it.

I can remember in the mid 70's getting our first video game.

Then a couple of years later getting a handheld football game and driving my parents nuts with the beeping sound of the game.



Then graduating up to a colecovision I spent many of hours in front of the tv playing it.



IF you want to consider old school gaming then I would have to pick over 40 years as i still can not walk past a pinball machine with out having to drop a couple of coins in and play at least one game.

My foster brother had that, sometimes he would let me play it with him around, I actually got better at it then him, and I was a good 10 years younger or thereabouts.
