I remembered my brothers and sisters playing video games with Atari back in 1980's and I played with them when I was 8 or 9 yrs old that was Pacman and Galaga. Then I played old nintendo with Super Marios, Top gun and Zapper gun at 12 yrs old. I stopped playing video games at 18. Then I bought Playstation 1 at 27 yrs old (It's been a long time) and I played with my fave classic game Pacman and Galaga. A old friend of mine I know very well, her deaf brother played playstation when he was 9 yrs old. Today, he's 25 yrs old and owned many like PS123, nintendo, Gamecube, XBox. He couldn't stop playing video games. I understood his habit. Of course, Everyone likes to play video games.

How old were you playing with your first video game? and What kind? Atarti? Computer game? Playstation? Gamecube?, Nintendo? XBox? Handheld?. How long have you been playing?

Now I use TV plug and play with classic Pacman, Galaga and Wheel of Fortune. I gave my PS1 and old nintendo to one of my nephew and niece. I'm planning to get WII fit (not now, maybe later)

Can't remember what year 1973 or 74, I was hang out with my brother at Rutgers University. My brother was student at Rutgers. We played very first arcade video game. It was ping pong game.

We never own video game at home. My hearing friend got ping pong video game. We used to play ping pong game at his parent's house.
I am not sure what year - first release ping pong game for home video game system.

In 1977, I bought computer kit. It was my first computer "Poly 88". In 1981, I bought Apple II "Clone Kit".

In 1980's my mom got free video game system from hotel. I think it was Magnavox. We played few different game like burger time, ping pong, etc.
 
Pong in 1978.

I remember the first home video game we had was by Atari. I loved Frogger.

Super Nintendo, the Secret of Mana or the regular Nintendo with the Mario games.
 
I think I was around 0 and played a precursor to Asteroids on Vectrex until Nintendo released NES with Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt, then I was hooked on Mario and later Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega Genesis. I don't do consoles any more. I have to have a computer anyway, so I just play games on it.
