I'm in my 30s. One of my earliest gaming memories is watching my dad play DOOM II on his huge desktop computer at the end of a barely lit room in the attic. The faint images I have of the map make me think he was fighting the Icon of Sin with a plasma gun but I can't be sure.

>>1366 13-16 fortnite i play better games now

23, my dad loved to watch me play shit like gran turismo and need for speed

Mid 20's, I'm basically right in the median of that graph. >earliest gaming memories Playing Pokemon Red on a Gameboy in the back seat of my mom's car as she dropped off my older brother at school. Either that or something about going to a friend's house and seeing them playing a video game that I'd never heard of while I watched. >>1369 Damn bro, count yourself lucky. I tried to convince my dad video games were cool way back in the late 00's and all he did was laugh at what I did and look at an Xbox 360 controller confused when I tried to get him to play local multiplayer with me.

32 >>1370 >Playing Pokemon Red on a Gameboy in the back seat of my mom's car as she dropped off my older brother at school. I remember this too. Lots of vivid memories with that old brick, bringing it along during eventful trips helped. The events are tied now to games like Tetris, Mega Man, and Super Mario Land. >I tried to convince my dad video games were cool way back in the late 00's and all he did was laugh at what I did and look at an Xbox 360 controller confused when I tried to get him to play local multiplayer with me. Same, he didn't give a shit. Friends did though, good enough for me.

30 Playing Sanic with my older cousin on his Mega Drive

>>1366 40 this year. Earliest gaming memory is jamming out to the Ghostbusters theme tune on a wood-grain Atari 2600 handed down from my big brother. Upgraded to an NES when he got a Mega Drive for Christmas. I've lived the console wars and was team red all the way.

>>1437 Team Red = Nintendo? Console wars are still being waged, people love going on message boards and complaining about games they've never played if they're on a system they don't like.

>>1371 LITERALLY ME

>>1437 >wood-grain Aww yeah, that's the stuff.

>>1366 >How old are you niggers? 26 >Also drop one of your earliest gaming memories if you want. Not the earliest but one of the earliest, going to the store to change N64 cartridges for other games. I remember I once got the Superman 64 game, it's surreal knowing that the game sucked many years after touching it.

>>1445 Oh man, one of my other really early memories was also N64 related. When my parents took me and my siblings to Toys-Я-Us there were display stands for new N64 games and I remember one of them had either Pokemon Stadium or Pokemon Stadium 2 set to a demo mode of the minigames. Look at this thing, I don't know if this was the exact kiosk but damn it looks fucking slick.

30's My mom was really into games. she used to have people come over a lot and had a corner with a tv a famicom and a 5200. My first game was probably Pitfall on the Atari or Excitebike on the famicom. On christmas 95 i got a PS1. I'm glad i could experience the jump from 8bit pixels to 32bit-fully 3d rendered world. Gaming in those days was trully magical. Same with the ps2. Wish i could lose myself again in those worlds.

>>1452 I'm gonna mine your asshole you pussy!

>>1452 You just got datamined yourself, fool

>>1439 >Team Red = Nintendo? You know it brother. Sega was blue.

>>1437 I'm around your age and grew up with Nintendo too. I never owned a lot on NES, but rented enough to keep up with featured games in Nintendo Power. Weekend rentals motivated me to play more.

>>1484 renting games at friday night after school for the weekend was a good time

>>1366 Get raped twice and kill yourself, you retarded fucking tranny faggot sack of nigger shit with down syndrome.

mid 20s vidya mems include playing a shitload of action "rpgs" through the years with my dad like Gauntlet Dark Legacy Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and the classic Diablo. also includes watching my mom play Dragon Quest and Mother 2. Had a strange moment where I had a tantrum when Giegue (Giygas) was defeated. . .

>>1509 Hey shit stirrer!

>>1570 It's a bot. Which I guess when you think about it makes posting on 8moe like a PvE videogame.

>>1366 What race are ya'?

>>1609 I'm fake white

>>1616 Margarine? Miracle whip? Artificial vanilla?

>>1366 28 My first memory at all is waking up on the couch and playing turning on Super Mario World. Over the next however long I remember seeing my sister play the game, and flying with the cape, then on my own fiddling around with it, struggling until I learned to fly myself. I was doomed to be a gamer from the start.

>>2424 The way you wrote this I thought for a second your first memory was from when you were 28.

>>2427 You say I have a leaky brain but you don't know shit Jack. I still remember it all, like for instance, my first memory ever, was me waking up on the couch and turning on Super Mario World. Betcha didn't know that one

>>2424 Flying was a struggle but satisfying.

>>1450 >she used to have people come over a lot ...Anon?

>>1366 80

>>1366 Noooooo I can't call people nintentoddlers anymore!

>>2470 >anymore Babs haven't been Nintendo's core audience since the Wii era really

1 year after Wii debuted Reggie Fils-Aime said internal research shows the the average Wii player was age 29.

>>2424 >>2441 >My first memory at all is waking up on the couch and playing turning on Super Mario World. Over the next however long I remember seeing my sister play the game, and flying with the cape, then on my own fiddling around with it, struggling until I learned to fly myself. The cape in Super Mario World had deep mechanics, deeper than any powerup before or after.

I can't decide between the cape or Yoshi for best Super Mario World powerup.

>>1366 19 I mainly recall playing Wii shovelware alongside Mario Galaxy 1/2, I also had some educational stuff for PC.

>>2590 The cape is dumb, it enables the player to just skip a whole level like the P power up from SMB3, it's unbalanced.

>>2592 Yeah, but at least he looked dope unlike the retarded tanooki suit, can't believe they axed the idea of the magic cape in a 3d environment but I guess PETA gave them the free advertisement they needed for the 3ds to go somewhere.

>>2592 Just don't use it that way, the cape enables you to play more skillfully as well.

>>2633 man's just trying to pitch baseballs and he gets stomped by a fucking dinosaur

31, im starting to feel old.

fucking boomer

>>2757 Way to announce your balls haven't dropped.

My earliest gaming memories are watching my dad play games when I was too little to understand them.

my earliest gaming memories is my dad forcing a nintendo zapper into my bum hole

>>2827 Hey Hogan, Dad here. I'll shove it up your alley again if you don't clean the fucking dishes, you little shit.

Child corrected

i am eternal and infinite, dataminers can't catch me

>>1448 Looks like a hybrid of home consoles and arcade cabinets with a Y2K aesthetic. It's smart marketing, lures people into the store and lets them try before they buy.

>>1448 >>2917 never played pokemon stadium is it any good

>>2972 It's not bad, but like 30 N64 games are better. Don't bother trying it unless you're really into Pokemon.

>>2450 She used to have people come on her a lot

>>2470 Nintenyearolds was better anyway.

>>2470 So these people who dickride Nintendo nonstop just happen to be middle aged onwards?

I cant be the youngest in this thread wtf zoomerbros?!

>>3324 Stick out your gyatt for the rizzler.

Nintendo has objectively been gaining customers with the Switch. Dunno if they're good at business or if the competition just dropped the ball.

>>3327 Definitely the latter: >Soyny has no exclusives besides some tech demos here and there >Microsoft's piss poor anti-hack cheat system and incompetence in general <Leaving PC as Nintendo's worthy rival

>>3334 >has no exclusives besides some tech demos This. Besides Nintendo, exclusives are now either time limited or dead, shifting the appeal of PlayStation and Xbox more toward multi-platform games. But those are better on PC, so informed consumers ask, "Why bother with PlayStation and Xbox?" The case for their purchase is weaker than earlier gens.

I'm close to the average

Consoles have a closer architecture to PCs than they used to, so the decline of exclusives was inevitable.

>>3337 Didn't know Switch got an exclusive 2hu spinoff.

>>3520 It's pretty weird having a console exclusive 2hu at all really. Maybe a result of how TAITO does things, idk. VS Puzzle Bobble with a rhythm component. Too expensive and has a ton of dlc over the years, but I guess that level of support means it sold decently

>>3535 Puzzle Bobble's not bad, knew it as Bust-A-Move. Bubble Bobble too, still play it on MAME.

My hairline started receding. Is it over for me?

>>3871 just get on finasteride

>>3901 doesn't that make your dick gay?

>>1366 29

28, soon 29.

Another year, another cope.

Born in 1983. My old man went to the arcade each weekend with a fistful of quarters, so when the arcade experience really came to people's living rooms years later with the Nintendo Entertainment System it was a no-brainer for him to buy. I grew up with the NES and I'm still going with the Switch.

>>3921 i've been on it for about half a year now and i'm cooming just fine maybe stop a month before getting a gf or smth to be safe

>>3921 Old age limps a dick and old guys use Finasteride.

>>4944 Only if you don't work out. I'm old and mine works fine.
