I'm 30, but I really don't play retro games very often. I just like to come here sometimes and talk about them.

18. My reason for getting into retro gaming is that i was never fortunate enough to own a console before the PS2. So i am playing all the games i missed out on as a kid. I still buy PS2 and Xbox games from time to time my most recent purchase being Conker Live and reloaded for the Xbox. But my main passion being Ps1, dreamcast and the sega megadrive.

Almost 21, and I like playing classic games from the 90's and early 00's when I was growing up. I also like getting some classic games and systems that I missed out on.

16, newer games tend to be way too easy for my tastes. Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania, Contra, all those great NES games are just more fun to me. Mind you, I still play new games occasionally too. The NES will always be my favorite system though.

I'm 22 right now. So yeah, I'm one of the people who grew up with my NES and all my other old stuff. I just missed out on some of the things I would have loved to have had like a Satrun, since I was too young to work and buy one for myself.

I was born in 1980. But while I grew up playing all those games that are now considered ****cs and "retro", I don't really feel nostalgia for playing games.

In fact I already had an Atari 2600 when I was born, and while I have fond memories of those Atari games, personally now I couldn't bare playing most of them.

I'm 27 and from time to time I'll pop in a retro game. Sometimes it's due to something reminding me of how much I enjoyed a certain game or to play a retro game that I might have missed out on.

Ain't that the truth, brother :D! We're so spoiled... I used to go nuts for Keystone Kapers. Now the sound alone kind of irritates me.

I had an Atari 2600 first. But I didn't like video games, really, until we got an NES. Then I completely fell in love with gaming. I thought Dig Dug, Space Invaders, Galaga, and Phoenix were all kinda fun, but they just didn't capture my imagination the way Super Mario Bros. 1 & 3, TMNT 2 The Arcade Game, Contra, or The Legend of Zelda did. Then I stayed gaming through the 16-bit era, into the 3D era, and right up until the last-generation. I've been too poor to get into the next-gen systems, so I'm exploring all the system of my past: NES, Master System, SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, Saturn, PS1, N64, Dreamcast, PS2, XBox, Gamecube, GBA, and Game Gear. -Nate-

21 I grew up playing the Master System with my first game that was Alex Kidd in Miracle World due to it been built in the Master System already. Also the Atari 7800 which I used to play Mario Bros the arcade version and that classic Atari game Food Fight. Then I got consoles like the Mega Drive, Super Nintendo, Dreamcast and so on. I've actually been playing a lot of the Master System lately I've been playing Sonic, Bank Panic and TransBot.

I was born in 1980, so I can say that I rarely play a game that is older than me.

I'm 38 which is extremely old in the videogaming Universe. I just bought another Super Nintendo. So it is remembering the Epic "Golden Age of Gaming" for Me. I remember when The SNES was first released. Some people here were not even born yet.. So I am Old. I'll still be playing when Sony releases Playstation 9

You're not that old. There are people today in their 50s and 60s playing video games now. Although you may seem old compared to all the teens here, even I do.

I'm 15. The first system I ever got was my GBA and my first game was Super Mario World (GBA Port). I think that being my first game made me respect older games. On top of that I love the cartridges, the manuals, the boxes, the hardware, and of course the gameplay. I just really love retro gaming.

I'm 13, so a more appropriate term for me would be like "antique", but that doesn't make it a bad thing. I'm all for retro.
