How many years have you be an active gamer?

[Navillus]

I first started playing Pokémon Yellow back when I was 3 years old and have never stopped gaming since~ so I’ve been an active gamer for 19 almost 20 years now-nyah.

 

[Worthy39]

About sixteen years. I also started gaming around three, I'm just flexing that I'm younger than you.

 

[Playerkartik]

I've been gaming since the years I first played a game 2012.
Hmmm...From the age of 4 then...I wonder how could I even read the text on the screen to play.

 

[SouthernMaiden]

Been a gaymer way too long. I played some ol ass games
I played half life 2, when it was still realistically expected that 3 would come out

 

[Zagaroth]

Well, if we go all the way back to the Atari 800 where I could play Centipede, Space Invaders, and Pac Man, we're looking at about 40 years.

Well, obviously I've heard the name, but I know literally nothing about it.

Half-life isn't a big deal, you know, just the game that made Valve a known name in the gaming space, kickstarting the process that gave us Steam...

As for what type of game, I'd go with FPS adventure as a fast description.

Meh, here's another question.
What's paperboy?

 

[SouthernMaiden]

I knew it was a big deal back in the day, just didn't know what for. You learn something new every day.

Eh? I didn’t know they made a VR version! When did that even happen… honestly I often forget VR is even a thing-nyah.

 

[Pennywise]

I've been gaming for more than a million years....
I played with the fear of creatures!!

Yeh, Half Life Alyx. It was apparently really really good. Didn't really move the story foward tho. The story that ended on a cliff hanger...

 

[Worthy39]

What was the formative game for you growing up?

Eh, I played Gameboy when I was really little, but for the most part it was probably the DS, oh, wait, you said game not console, my bad.

Ah that make me feel better. I played those growing up too
