Room 34 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I always have to chime in on these threads... I'm currently 29. Been playing Atari since I was 8. (That's 1982 for those of you who haven't gotten to subtraction in school yet. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I'm 33. Been into Atari since the 2600 was introduced. Finally, validation for a wasted life! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgler Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Just turned 26. Never had a real Atari in when I was a kid - my Dad bought a Gemini system instead. When I got back into Atari a few months back and started collecting again, I decided to go for a Gemini again. So I play all my games on the clone machine.

bcprs1 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I think this is at least the 5th or 6th one of these threads I have seen since coming to this page. Always interesting to see 13 and 14 year olds collecting for ATari. I'm 27 btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassGuitari Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I am 18, so I was born a little too late for Atari (I was cursed before I was even born ). BUT...i do remember walking through Sears with my mom when I was maybe 5 or 6 (this would have been around 1990), and I actually remember seeing Atari 2600 jr. systems there, they were stacked to form a pyramid next to the aisle. Of course, the only thing on my undeveloped and unlearned mind was Super Mario Bros. and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but it's a fond memory nonetheless.

Brad2600 Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 I'm 21 and will be 22 in September. I've been playing Atari since I was 6. First system was obviously the 2600 and games like E.T, Pac-Man, Chopper Command and Asteroids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingtown Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 I'm 19 myself, so I'm a little young for the Atari era, but my older brother was 12 years older than me, so it's from him that I got most of my Atari stuff. Same here! I am 19 and my brother is 12 years older than me. I used to play Atari with him all the time when I was little and eventually went on to "borrow" all his Atari stuff.

hepcat Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 I'm 32. The first video game I ever played was Space Invaders, probably in 1979. The first game I became addicted to was Pac-man. I think I got Atari in 1982 after begging my parents for months. And for the first 6 months I had it all I could play was Asteroids or Pac-man!! Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would someday own hundreds of carts! --Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfnmadness Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 36 Proud to say I was playing Pong and Computer Space in the origin of Arcade classic days. And yes, I do remember the joy of playing the Atari systems when Sears was the only real place to get one. Those where the days...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloBoy Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 About 30. i have well over 100 =P Impressive... But do you have more NES games than I do? I've got 114! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I thought Nova, Bivotar and I were the official old men of Omaha Atari. You've got us all beat! 29, in case you were wondering, but I still feel like a newb at times.

Mr.FoodMonster Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 About 30. i have well over 100 =P Impressive... But do you have more NES games than I do? I've got 114! Hehe, I dont collect NES, but if I kept all my games from when I had one, and bought them every time I saw that at garage sales I would have close to that number =P once my brother moves out (we share a room =( sadly ) I may get into collecting more things, I just plain dont have the space. My brother already yells at me for collecting and having the atari plugged in =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
