I wouldn't define it by play time, but more of an interest.

i dont know if it ever hit me that i was a true gamer. i just kind of became one and never realized it. so i cant give an age when i realized it. but i started playing videogames at the age of 7 or 8 and it started with the snes and donkey kong country. and im 18 know.

Probably when I was 7. I'm 17 now, so I've been a 'true gamer' for 10 years.

Around 6 or 7. I'm now 16. That's crazy. I think I realized it after I got hooked to my N64 and SNES. Oh.... The good ol' days....

In that case 29. I am now 32.

However, I don't think of myself as a 'true gamer',
just someone who happens to like playing videogames.

What the crap is a "True Gamer"???????

You either play games or you dont. Why do people on this board feel they have to put themselves on a pedestal by declaring themselves "True Gamers" or "Hardcore Gamers"? Do you feel proud of this tag you put on yourselves? Do you feel you have a superior knowledge of what makes a game good compared to someone who does not play games as much as you?
