How old were you when you played your first Virtual Pets game?

[Soulwatcher]

I was in my late 20s when I played my first pet game, Although it wasn't a virtual pet game, it was still a pet game. And it got me thinking about how old were other people when they started their first pet game. So, my question to you guys is how old were you when you played your first Virtual Pets game?

I was around 23 when I played mine, and it was a virtual pet game. I wasn't into such games at an early age, but playing it then made me get addicted to it, and I've been playing for long now.

I think I was 12 or 13 when I first got started with Neopets, and then I also discovered VPL.

This is great! You must have got a lot of experience playing along the line as well.

I know I was in my mid-late teens when I first started playing my first virtual pet game. Thinking back to that sure does bring back memories!

I was 13 when I started playing pet games for the first time. Neopets was the first pet site that I played. After neopets, I played Powerpets, Marapets, Subeta, Creatureworld, eCritters, PetGamer, Venetopia and Zetapets.

There was a lot of pet sites that I played from 2003-2010. 2003 was the first year that I started playing pet sites. I still play them to this day, but I’m not as active on that many games as I used to be.

The pet gaming industry has changed a lot since the early 2000’s. I remember when games didn’t have customization of pets and human avatars, but now they’re a big time feature.
