At what age did you start playing computer games?

[WildTuber]

Started playing computer games when I was a young chilld. It's hard to say age. I have memories playing Minecraft of when I was 11, 12 years old and then my gaming collection expanded from there.

I started at around 42? Actually really gaming when I got disabled. But I dabbled with an old TI, and commodore 64 misc IBM antiques, etc here n there out of curiosity. I worked too much for games really & there were non when I was younger. None at all as a child. Besides.. I started doing random work at like 10-11 built a mower & lawn jobs 12-13 & full time work + lawn jobs by 14. Military by 18. Plus I was drinking & smoking by 11. I had no time to game, or be a kid really. Til now. Now I have emulators for everything I missed as a child. Also have a PS1, PS2 & backwards compatible release editions PS3 tons of PC bought & hacked windows 95, and up games. I beat the entire Final Fantasy, Dragon Age, & Witcher series to name a few. "I was REALLY bored" my first few years of not working/drinking away 18+ hours a day of my life, and mostly just SITTING AROUND! At least til my health made me sleep more... ughhh >.< lol

Played my first game at the tender age of 7 in 1989, it was Micropose's F19 Stealth Fighter in MS-DOS on a Tandy 1000.

I already listed my first pc game, but I played my first serious MMO starting in 1995 when I was 13, it was a game called Nexus: The Kingdom of the winds (otherwise known as NexusTK) by a company called Nexon that started in Korea and was just getting a foothold in the US market. Think NTK was the first game where different maps, or zones, were hosted on different physical servers. If I remember right they had a grant from IBM for the technology. I still have characters there today so long as they haven't been deleted and I founded one of the first 3 (or maybe it was the 4th) clan.
