First games I remember playing were Pong and Tanks on the Atari 2600. However I don't really class them as when I became a gamer as I was only about 6 and it was something my friends mother plonked us in front of to make us sit still and shut up.

My first real foray into becoming a gamer was when I was about 9 and got a Sinclair Spectrum Plus (the one that had a real keyboard rather than those rubber keys/creations from hell). I still remeber spending hours playing Jet Set Willy and Commando. Funnily though, I seem to remember trying to get games to load even clearer. (Put in tape, press play, cross fingers, fail, tweak volume control on tape deck by a micron, rewind tape and play it again. Repeat until game finally loads. Then don't switch it off for a week because you finally got one to load. )

From there I moved onto an Amiga 500, then a Sega Megadrive, original PlayStation, then went PC and haven't looked back since. I don't even own a console any more.

Last time I was wondering about how much I'm gaming, it turned out I've spent 60 days of playtime in Planetside 2 in the 2 years that I had it. which is roughly 8% of that time..
I'm no longer wondering about how much I'm gaming

Voted 25-30.
I Had my hands wrapped around an Atari joystick before i could walk.
Was a heavy console gamer over the years. Atari, NES, Snes, mega drive, gameboy variations, N64, PS1, PS2, Wii, Xbox, Nds, PS3 and Xbox360. Nowadays i still have the consoles, but i am pretty much a dedicated PC gamer.

I remember when I was growing up playing on the original playstation. Spyro, Crash Bandicoot and Need for Speed: High Stakes were my most played games, as a matter of fact, I still have my original high stakes game and still play it on ps3 haha.
