32 here, Started gaming as a young boy of around 5 years old, First comp was an acorn electron followed by the C64, First console was the nintendo entertainment system then master system.

Finaly got a megadrive but swoped it for a super nintendo :D i then tryed out the atari jaguar and its a shame because it could have been a good machine if people made better games for it. I also got the cd addon for the jaguar but it was a fail and never worked right so we took it back and i got the PS1 then the PS2 when it came out, I then took a break from buying things but started messing with pc's and havent looked back since.

Ive been playing halo PC for 8 years now. Try to beat me. you wont.

We old folks could easily beat you.
We don't have the hand-eye coordination you do ...
We don't have as good of eyesite as you do ...
We don't have as good of reflexes as you do...

So we'd just break all your fingers to even the playing field.

25 here... been playing since 5/6, with Mario/Duck Hunt on my NES. I had played Atari once or twice before that , but only for minutes and I never owned one. D&D was awesome though :) Then Diablo I was my first PC game, and it trapped me :) I actually played the original dooms and hexens, etc - AFTER Diablo I :)

On PC first game for me was doom 2 in 1992, but first rpg was diablo 1.

I remember playing on the early consoles (Atari 2600, etc.) with friends, but the first computer game I can recall playing was the text game called "Adventure" (also known as Collosal Cave) on a Data General MV4000 Mini we used to run the first CAT scanners.
It was also the machine I wrote my first computer program on (a game using Basic).

I started my ODESSEY of gaming many years ago. It came with the TV, and was soon replaced by a Colecovision that ran on tapes, and then was replaced by an Atari...OH, teh days I wiled away playing q-Bert are but a faint memory now.

When the PS2 went mini, and I had played every game console, and most games, I hung up my joysticks for a few years while my first child learnt how to crawl...with only a few games of Mechwarrior 2 and SimCity to keep me sane.

Then HL2 was coming. I got into STEAM. And NOW STEAM has become my 3rd best friend....226 titles and counting...

:D

Its a damn shame it hasnt even been out for 8 years on the pc.

On July 12, 2002, a Halo port for Windows was announced to be under development by Gearbox Software. Its showing at E3 2003 was positively received by some critics, with skepticism by others. It was released on September 30, 2003

Nope, I don't think I'm Ken (or Guile) from SF2. Though I have come close to beating the game with Ken (one quarter, arcade difficulty) before.

I'm not even very good at SF2 (though I'm equally good with any character). It's just one of the best fighting games ever made. When it came out on SNES I was amazed at how sophisticated the combat system was. When you compare it to fighting games of that era (like Fatal Fury) it's a million times better. It set the precedent for fighting games for years to come.

A few years ago I bought a Street Fighter II arcade machine that was on it's way to the dump. I turned it into a MAME cabinet and had quite a bit of fun with it, especially when I hosted parties. The handle is a product of those good vibes.

Street Fighter II The World Warrior is the best selling Capcom game ever.
http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/business/million.html

The first sf2 game i played was in a night club in 1992 from that date i was hooked.
On the streetfighter games i still play them all now on mame32
im not the best gamer all so at sf2 i use a cheat programe under the mame32
get all the cool players and invinceablity just two beet the game lol

I was never a big fan of mortal combat or any the cool figihting games at this time

My 1st was with 2 hand controllers which one plugged in to the TV and the other controller used batterys and it only had ping pong on it lol.. I remember it very well just not the brand but this was in the early 70's. The controllers were cream colored with orange sliders lol. They are on the web but not been able find them again. I did find them the last time some one asked on this site though lol.

Then i moved on to the atari 2600 then ZX80\81 and after than the Spectrum 48K which was followed by the 128K one when i started to play real cool sims which were more complex than todays as they either gone bust ( Microprose ) or just don't make'em still. I had most of the Specrums so ya i was a fanboy of them and only 1 i did not have was the ZX Spectrum +3.
After that it was all about PC's lol.

I'm 18 I got my first computer in '96 and also got my Nintendo 64 that same year. I stated messing around with computer when I first got it. I have taught myself everything I know about them since then.
I first got my own computer when I was ten, found a perfectly good Pentium 4 system in the trash!

Now it seems like I get a new computer every month...

I have been playing games ever since

yes the x-arcade are quite good..i wanted the trackball model , but found this on a forum for 90 bux and couldnt pass it up. i will still get the trackball eventually in the near future.i thought of the cocktail cabinet, but honestly dont think i could play like that. when and if i do a second one, i will add a drawer in the front to hold some xbox 360 usb controllers and mouint a usb hub in the front for all my console roms, and i plan on adding this to my existing cabinet.... http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-1i-49-en-70-2vss.html

I mean if Pacman affected our generation as kids, we'd all be running around in a darkened room, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.

Oh the irony

Arcade games? You guys want to see arcade games? There is a place here in Rochester, NY that has tons of the old stuff, all restored to perfection. Anyone remember TRON?
Take a trip down memory lane here, it's cool. And the owner, Rodger, has even more of these machines, in storage.

I'm 20. First gaming experience was on an IBM 5150 that was old at the time I got it. By the time I got addicted (age 6), the N64 was being released. I bought one of those, and enjoyed it till I got into computers.

I played classics like Jazz Jackrabbit and Terrain for a good long time, but those were easy to play through, not alot of depth. Still, of all the games I played, I still play these on a dosbox from time to time.

The next games I remember are Fallout 1 and 2. Now those were good games.

For me, true gaming on the computer started with Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. My first ever hardcore PC game addiction. I put a whole bunch of game time into that. A whole bunch. I quickly moved on to Halo PC, Wolf: ET, and I kept going on those for a while. My fondest PC gaming memories are on Halo PC, but I am now far from burnt out on it. Halo was the only good one of the series IMO.

Today I play Starcraft II, Fallout, Minecraft, Dwarf Fortress, and Garry's Mod.

EDIT: Oh yeah, my father was a gamer before me. He moved up from pinball machines to a Gameboy. When he saw he would never see pinball machines in bars, he decided to get some. We now have 2 pinball machines, Fish Tales and Addam's Family.
