I was born in '95, so sadly I missed out on it. I didn't actually start PLAYING the games until 2006/2007 when I started playing got addicted to Morrowind. Took me another 3-4 years until I actually got Oblivion, which pulled me deeper into the series. Skyrim then made the list in my personal history as the first video game I ever preordered.

I found this to be an interesting story, thank you.

CoM was good times. Wish I could say the same for Oblivion.

That's more or less my story :] I was 9 months old when Arena came out and sadly, I still haven't finished it - but I'll get around to it before I turn 20

I was 8 >_> and actually i have the most lame elder scrolls intro stories ever.

My neverwinter nights disc broke and I went to get a new one. and I saw a box that said "morrowind: game of the year edition." I pickedi t up, thought the brief description was kinda neat, and decided to get it instead.

Id never even known the series existed until that very moment.

I played Arena when I was about 4 years old with my granddad. This was after playing Ultima VII with him.

We then played Daggerfall when I was 6, and I even got to play it myself this time!

24 and at the time I was opposed to computers (they were also rather expensive in Sweden back then) so I knew nothing about games. Having been forced to learn BASIC programming in school at 15 didn't provide for a very positive opinion of computers, I guess.

1994 => 1XX4 => 14 at xmas, means I was 13 during that year.

I started TES with Morrowind though. Can't say I ever played Arena so far.

I was 19 in 1994, and no, didn't play pc games then (still don't). Was too busy going to bars/clubs and hanging with friends back then. Didn't know TES even existed till it came out for the xbox. And even then I kinda wasn't a fan, never finished the game, and never bought the GOTY with the expansions added in. Really didn't get into TES till Oblivion hit.

I've always wondered what question 42 was the answer to. H2G2 didn't help.

I was 4 years old when Arena came out. Joined the Elder Scrolls series far too late, about 2 years ago I discovered Oblivion and Morrowind. Skyrim was already anounced I think..

PS: my first post on this forums, hi all

I was 20, more interested in getting a buzz - didn't even have a PC. I was gaming on my SNES in my recovery time.

I was....1 year old!!! I guess my dad would play it when he was in the Navy. When he was on leave he used to sit me on his lap and play it lol. Thats probably why I am so into the elder scrolls games haha.

I realy started to get into them when Morrowind came out. Now its my quest to 100% complete them all and raise all my skills to 100. So far: Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim Iv completed the games and expantions and also raised my skills to 100. Now Im working on Daggerfall and Arena. Daggerfall is proving to be a pain in the ass!

Also trying to buy an unopened box for both Arena and Daggerfall. Seems like thats a little harder than I thought it would be haha.
