How Old are you playing Videogames?

[Stotty]

40... work, golf and wife get in the way of full time gaming.

 

[Baz962]

45 years old, very, very old.
Started playing Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix on the BBC B, or was it Commodore Amiga? Then PS1, PS2 (X-Box 360) and now PS3.
Also occasionally GTR2, GT Legends & r-Factor on the PC.
Best of all, I'm sho!te on all of them!

26 in June. My mom got me GT1 for Christmas, and I've been hooked on the game, cars, and motorsport ever since.

Eighteen and played the first Gran Turismo in Japanese since 1997, I believe. My cousins from SoCal got a Japanese PS1/PSX and played it. Funny thing that before Gran Turismo, it was Motor Toon Grand Prix. I only played the second of Motor Toon Grand Prix, which is the US version in 1996 because the first game never left Japan. It's fun, but it was a kiddie game. Thank goodness that Yamauchi-sama moves on to racing simulation. Gran Turismo is the only best racing simulator for the Sony consoles. No other racing sims for Sony consoles can beat it.

Yes...

Anybody remember lotus esprit turbo challenge on Amiga?

Yes again. Bit repetative, especially if you didn't care for Lotus Esprits!

Oh yes, I do! But my first racing experience was Auto Race on the Matell Intellivison back in 1982. I swept trough Pit Stop on the C64 before buying my Amiga 500 in late 1986. Played Test Drive and Geoff Crammonds Formula One until my eyes bled. Also liked Super Cars a lot.

As the raving technophiliac I am, I dashed out 4700,- Nok (approximately $1100) back in 1994 for an Amiga CD32 (yes, I was one of those few who actually thought it had a chance ) to play Skidmarks (not the panty kind )

Bought my PS1 back in 1997 just to play Gran Turismo and later GT2. My PS2 has seen endless hours of GT3, GT4P and GT4. And to my wifes utter despair I bought a PS3 to play GTHD and GT5P.

By the way, I am 37

 

[m00ndancer]

Yes, me too. Sold tons of them to retailers.

 

[soptom]

I am not the greatest gamer,but i really enjoy playing.

And that's the point.👍 With age comes wisdom.

I'm 36.

 

[Famine]

Since this has nothing to do with GT5P, I've moved it to GiG.

I'm 46 with a mental age of 3.5 seconds!

Been playing GT from the very first day it game out, but without glasses GT5P looks like the original game! lol

I don't think we need another "How old are you?" thread. It's safe to say if you're a member of GTPlanet, that you also play video games.
