How does age currently affect your gaming?

Personally, I'm from '95. Yeah, make your 90's kids jokes but that only increases my modem speed!

Anyway, I started more or less at my aunt's house. She had an old windows computer with Raptor and some Mouse maze set of games. We also had a plug in kind of system with duck hunt and one of the old mario games. I don't remember that too well minus how annoying that dog was.
I guess our first real console was the Playstation 1. I remember Final Fantasy 9, the twisted metal toy game, Legend of Dragoon, Crash Bandicoot's racing game, and Chrono Cross very well.
About a year after the PS2 came out, we got one for Christmas. It had Kingdom Hearts 1 with it, and I never actually played it. There was that sibling hierarchy, and not knowing how to read very well at the time did not help. My first handheld was the Gameboy Color. I got it around 2000. It had some Gradius type game, the Dinosaurs movie game, some tank game, and Pokemon Yellow. I eventually got Pokemon Gold with it as well and Mario Tennis. The PS2 eventually became mine when my brother became more of a PC Gamer. I remember very distinctly watching him play these wonderful games with his keyboard. This would have been around 2006. We had since played Devil May Cry 3, Final Fantasy 10, 10-2, and 12, Dragon Quest 8, Gladius, Every single DBZ game with Budokai in the name, Kingdom Hearts 2, Destroy All Humans 2, Soul Calibur 3, and the second Star Wars Battlefront, all the Tekken games from 3-5. My neighbor had a gamecube and I would stop by every other day and we would play Smash Brother Melee, or Kirby Air Ride, Shadow The Hedgehog, etc.
What's funny is, I had been playing Starcraft Brood War since around the time we got the PS2 as well. My brother would always beat me, but I loved the map editor. The same story repeats with Warcraft 3, Empire Earth, and Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds. (will continue later)

(Continuing now)
The PS2 became mine around 2008. It still is functioning, until the PS1. We got the xbox 360 around 2009, and then another one around 2011. The things just don't last. Halo 3, Reach, 4, Gears of War 2 and 3, Fallout 3 and New Vegas, Forza 3 and 4, COD MW2 and BOPS, Fable 2, Soul Calibur 5 (huge disappointment btw), Tekken 6, etc.
I'd been a PC gamer off and on without much dedication until late 2011. I now have a lot of games I could have never afforded then, and I probably haven't played half of them because the reality of school and occasional work opportunity that comes up.
I've glazed over my DS games, early PC games (mostly Sims, Strategy games, demos, and Halo PC anyway), most of the library for my games I've played in general, and after typing this up, its really made me think of just how fortunate my life has been.
