Been playing since 1977, Atari 2600 release and acquired the nick name "vgk".
It stands for video game knowledge. If anyone couldn't get past a stage, they ask me. I get them thru parts of the game they struggle at.
Owned every major system since, these days I play on Xbox one, own a ps4 as well, (daughters).
So, 45 years old and still game, help with all age groups and they help me as well. My age has slowed the reflexes a bit, but have yet to find anyone skilled enough to help get me to the lighthouse. The time will come, I'm sure.
So the question is to the older gamers, when did you start gaming? And have you made it to the lighthouse?
+: wow, so many gamers, what would our lives be without our games???

Pinball in the late 60's. Pong in the mid 70's.The first arcade video game I played was a lunar lander game. After that, Space Invaders and Asteroids but it wasn't until I played Missile Command that I got totally hooked. I've flipped a mil on that game many times. Once you've reached the 810,000 points bug, 1 quarter could last 3 hours. Since then, I've had a bunch of home gaming systems. PS.. Anyone who hasn't seen "The King of Kong," buy it on Amazon or find it on youtube and watch it. It's very entertaining, very funny.
