What age did you start and stop playing?

Let's here what age you started playing Gex and what age you stopped playing? Or did you not stop playing? Or maybe you stopped and then started again because this forum made you realize how much fun you had playing?

Pics if you have them!

I first played it around 6-7 years old. Maybe a bit older. My papaw had gotten a PS1 for the family and Gex was one of the first games he got.

I was 8 when it was released, a proper cornerstone of childhood

I was 5 years old when the first game came out, but I actually discovered Enter the Gecko first at the age of 9. One of my childhood friends had that game and I remember going over to his house to play video games. I discovered the first one when I was around 10 or so. My best friend had a copy of the first game on the PS1. Once I got my PS1 in 2001, I got a copy of Deep Cover Gecko by mistake. I wanted Enter the Gecko but I'm glad the employee made the mistake, I would have never got to experience that game otherwise besides a autodemo on my Tomb Raider disc. xD

I began playing GEX games as early as 8. They have games that you will want to play always as a kid. I played till I was 23 and was as a result of life challenges setting in and I decided to focus on handling other things. I still play once in a while now though.

Old ads, I found Gex's design just plain cool!

It's super cool you younger folk are into Gex, god I feel old though lol.

Well, if I remembered correctly, I should 6 or 7 years old when Gex dropped and I started playing it almost immediately. I have been playing it since then till now and I don't think that I'm planning on dropping it completely yet as long I still have my old consoles which I still do. The moment I leave them completely, then it's over for me and Gex.
