When did you start playing Animal Crossing?

The night of June 16th, 2007 - my 8th birthday. My mom's friend across the street had a DS and would let me come over and play AC:WW and I eventually told my dad about the game and how cool it was. This was probably late 2006/early 2007. After speaking about it so much, my dad decided to get it for me.:cool:

Oh, and my first town's name was Twinleaf.

When Animal Crossing: Population Growing first came out. I still remember the commercials on TV, lol. So around 2001. I was around 8 or 9 years old. Good memories. I need to get my hands on a gamecube again. :)
 
I was around 8 or 9 years old in 2001/2002 when I started playing Animal Crossing: Population Growing. I used my real name for my characters name and called my town Spots. My memory card got corrupted though so I no longer have that town.
 
I started playing when I was 8 or 9. I first started playing the Wild World version. My friend had it on her DS and let me play it whenever I went over to her house. After that, I got it for my 10th birthday and played it ever since. I've always named my character, "Mint" and my town Suntown.
 
I casually played on my cousins GC Animal Crossing when I was about 12, then played Wild World from 13 to 16.
I only just got back into Animal Crossing when I got my 3DS a month ago. :)
 
I started in 2006 with Wild World, then moved to City Folk on release, went backwards to GameCube, then up to New Leaf.

I got it in 2006 because a friend of mine played it on the bus to school one morning and I was amazed, ahah.

Started in 08 with CF. Hubby started playing first & I watched him & thought CF looked fun. I started a character in the town & eventually got my own Wii & my own town. We both have our own WW, CF & NL towns. We also have the Gamecube version, but we really don't play that one anymore...

I started when I was around 8 years old, when my mom got me my first gamecube. I remember it like it was just yesterday haha :3
 
Back in 2003 when I was 10 or 11 on the GameCube version! ACNL is actually the only Animal Crossing game I've played since then, so it's quite nostalgic to come back to it.
 
I started playing this May, 2O14; 2 days after i purchased my 3ds XL; kinda late, but still :)

Sister, Friend, and Boyfriend played it before and couldn't believe i had never played this game. SO i was convinced to try it;

Glad i did :) coz' now i'm hooked!
 
It was the Gamecube version, It had to be 2002 or 2003 when I was 10-11 years old. I fell in love with the game instantly when we rented it from Blockbuster. Since it was a rental it didn't come with the memory card and of course there was not enough free space on the one I had. But I loved the game so much and played for hours and I really wanted to save all that I had did. I begged my grandmother to go get a memory card so I could save, and she actually went to the store and bought one for me! I was so grateful and I'll always remember that, because I had many more fond childhood memories to come in that first town. ^^
