How long have you been a gamer and how long will you still game? - Blu-ray Forum

My dad had the pong setup, but I wasn't really a gamer until the Atari 2600. I made it through Sega Genesis, Nintendo and all versions of the PlayStation. I am not that hardcore any more, mainly because there isn't much new stuff coming out. So many games are just repeats of the same old FPS. I don't care about aliens, zombies or any other supernatural predator, so they don't hold a lot of interest for me. I am giddy like a kid about COD MW2 though.

I know, but COD is reality-based so I like it, even if it is the same old stuff for the most part.

I guess it might depend on the definition of gamer, but I have been playing electronic games since they more or less first appeared and I gues I will never stop. Now if you mean playing hours on end everyday, who has time for that any more.

My first game was Pong on the 2600. I'll be a gamer for life.
