The World of PC/Mac Gaming

That means you can't be older than about 43 I think.

I remember I was about 4 or 5 when a local restaurant had table-top Pong.  A couple years later, and it was Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, etc.  Good time to be a boy, methinks.

I got my first computer in the late 90's, I think I was around 32 then.  I remember playing games like Tank Wars and Warcraft with my friends.  Been playing computer games ever since.

Hi five snake

Yeah I'm 38. I started on a "games console" called Phillips G7000. I loved that thing. Then came the Commodore 64, somewhat of a love affair! Then the Amiga, nes, supernes, mega drive, n64, PS, PS2 and finally 360. Also had game boy, wii, 2DS and maybe I forgot something

I lived for arcade games too, I played them any chance I got. When I was old enough I'd spend all day in there. I still get all fuzzy inside thinking about the rush I felt in an arcade. Now when I walk past them my inner child wants to run in all excited but the withered cynical adult knows it won't be like it used to be, it will be mainly fruit machines with the odd driving/shooting/dancing game. Gone are the days where the arcade dwarfed what you could reasonably play on at home.

Street fighter 2 and shinobi... Probably the games which stir up the most memories for me. I played every arcade game I could get my hands on though pretty much.

The arcade games were damn cool!  I remember playing Asteroids, Galaga, and Star Trek, and the ever popular Pac-Man.  Those were some cool games.
