How old were you when you really got into gaming?

At what age did you start really getting into gaming? Not necessarily the first age you remember gaming now and again, but the age where it became something you were really excited about or dedicated to.

Three years old - my dad made me play Super Mario and Duck Hunt. It's one of my earliest memories that I can remember vividly as a kid.

I was 5 years old when I first started gaming. I had older cousins that had game consoles before I did, so I used to go to their house and play games.

I was around three years old when I started really getting into gaming and I have been into gaming ever since. I have fond memories of playing games with my brothers and my cousin over the years. From Sonic the Hedgehog to Mario and more. 

Even at the age I am now, 38 years old, I am still a huge gamer.

I started around 5 years old.  That was when my parents bought a NES with the first Mario Bros. game. 

I'm still into gaming now and I prefer Nintendo.

I should be around 8 years old or thereabout. It could be earlier than that, but my first console was gifted to me when I was 8.

I started diving deep into gaming around age 10. That’s when I discovered immersive stories and gameplay that truly captivated me.

I can't pinpoint on the year, but I have been playing games for many years now. Gaming is part of how I get to relax and have fun on days that I feel bored and lonely.

I've been obsessed with game when I was 21 years old. Discovering The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time ignited something in me that I never wanted to go out. Long hours spent playing the game made me love the concept of gamming stories and gameplay.

At 15, I started with online multiplayers . I was able to establish a relationships and effective collaborative work and it generated a solid foundation for me.

I will always remember when I was 10. Then, I played Super Mario Bros. with my siblings and that's what made the passion grow. As I grew older, games like Final Fantasy VII and The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind expanded my interest.
