How old were you when...

[jimkirk]

I was about 19 when DK was first released in the wild back in '81.

 

[p1899m]

pretty sure I was around 6 when most of my favorites were released but honestly I probably didn't really play any of them until I was a few years older.

 

[oyama82]

I loved playing Wonderboy in 1989 in my fathers arcade shop,I was 7

 

[blinddog]

Asteroids came out in 79 so I would have been five

 

[rainman154]

I was 10 when Vs. Castlevania came out. I remember that as one of the first arcade games I played if not being Rampage.

 

[EVB]

Probably Phoenix, I was 12.

Crystal Castles in 1983. I was 8. I was rocking a Return of the Jedi 3/4 sleeve shirt too!

 

[super8man]

I recall playing Pengo when it came out...wow...what a great game! Also Super OffRoad - man would we spin those steering wheels....and then deciding what to buy and then bragging about winning the podium. I was 14 in 82...

I'm not saying how old I am but I played Pong in 1973.

SEGA Star Trek Strategic Operations Simulator 1982

[OregonPacman]

I was 6 when Super Pac Man came out. I think I was about 7 when I played it. Seems like forever ago.

Cliff Hanger...I was 13. Ah...growing up in the 80s!

My favorite game? I was 12 going on 13 when SF2: World Warrior first arrived. I remember it was sitting in the back row and had just been unpacked. They had stuck it back there because they wanted to rearrange the machines for the next week. I thought I had discovered some secret hidden gem. The next weekend the machine was up front and packed.

 

[VectorAddict]

Most of my games are from 1980-82, when I was 16-18.

 

[Paladin]

Favorite game: Tempest. Here's a shot of the PCB in my Tempest, the tested date was my 16th birthday!

I was fifteen when Red Baron came out..... Life was good................

Wizard of Wor class of 1981, I would have been 13.
