How old were you when you played the first silent hill?

Have you seen Harry's daughter anywhere? Short, dark hair?

I was seventeen and it was 2004. But I played SH2 already in 2002.

It still scared me shitless regardless of the terrible graphics. The otherworld concept seriously disturbed me as a teenager, but I grew jaded with it over the years and now its just interesting.

Reading through this thread, I'm becoming more and more aware that the real purpose of this thread is to catch younglings lying about their age on this board.

We should totally do this thread in SH:Homecoming and have a B&fest.

We should do this thread in every game forum. We could even keep score as to which one culls the most unripened fruit.

It's been out since I was three though.
If you were 14 in January, how are you 19 now?

BUSTED!!!

I think I was 14 or 15. I became so obsessed with the game, my mum was kind of worried.

I watched my dad play it when I was quite young.
I have no idea why and still am amused with silent Hill and other horror games.

I was about 19 or so when I started playing (I got my hands on a copy of SH3) So it was roughly three or four years ago. I haven't been into the games terribly long, but I know they'll stay with me for a long time to come.

I hired it out in 2002 or 2003 i think, so i was 15 or 16, but i didn't really "get it" and gave up before i really made any progress (I did the same with Silent Hill 2 a few years ago, got to the apartment and quit after about 5 minutes, foolishly)

Didn't play it properly till about a year ago when i downloaded a PSX rom. I've since bought the original playstation game on ebay, but i actually prefer playing it on my computer surprisingly. For one, the sound is far better through my studio monitors than through my 68cm tv speakers, also the graphics look a bit better on pc, and the games controls are really easy to get used to using just a keyboard. And of course one of the biggest reasons being that i don't have a memory card for ps1 and i can't use my ps2 memory card, so i've had to play through the game in one sitting whereas i can save it any time on the computer by pressing F1. AND... the PSX rom is the NTSC version with the mumblers/grey children which are my FAVOURITE silent hill monsters ever, but the disc i bought on ebay is pal which replaced all the grey children with clawfingers who aren't nearly as scary and don't make that awesome freaky sound the grey children do.

Wow i just realized most of that paragraph wasn't really relevant to the thread, sorry. I got really off track there. But yeah, i only properly played SH1 and 2 last year... and have been obsessed ever since.

Just putting a giant smiley is considered spam, the same as just typing 'lol' in a post.

Anyways, we all are catching underage users seemingly by every minute. First RedPyramid and now this...we're on a roll, people.

I've already told you guys what age I am. I don't feel the need to repeat myself either. And I would have no idea when Silent Hill would have came out either. All I know i was young and thats it. But meh, whatever. (:
