    I was 12 around 2003/2004 when I decided to try KH1. Admittedly, at the time, I was more of a casual gamer, and didn't really focus on finishing games that I had. But even though I sucked so bad in my first playthrough (it was so bad that it took me 3-4 months just to finish the game), and there were times when I felt like giving up, I still decided to keep going because I REALLY wanted to know what happens next with the story (and this was at a time before youtube even existed). And so, after finishing it, I became a huge fan of the series as well as began my first steps into becoming a hardcore gamer.

    First touched it in Christmas of 05, so I would've been nine. I gave up on it after a while and just bought KH2 when I saw it at Best Buy a few weeks later. xD

    Chain of memories, I was 24 and couldn' t afford a PS2 back then. I was into FF, me and my sisters used to watch Disney Channel every week end when we were kids, so I was rather curious about that most peculiar cross-over.

    On a side-note one of my sisters apparently still is a Disney nuts, her house kinda looks like a temple dedicated to Winnie the pooh in places. My lil' nephew (her son) is too young to speak, not even gibberish, yet last week I took him in my arms and he noticed a Winnie plush dangling in a car near us, which he immediately pointed with his finger, making a big exclamation sound.

    Incidentally although I still am into video-games KH 1&2 are the only games I own that I can stuck my young cousins with without having second thoughts.

    I had the game when it had released in the US, so I was 7 years old. Being the little Disney fan that I was (and still am), I played the game to death for weeks...Until I got stuck on Monstro. After that I gave up for a while before going back to it and finally beating it. I can remember being just about done with defeating the final form of Ansem SoD when my mother told me it was time for bed, to which I responded with the angriest "leave me alone" look I've ever made. Good times.

    I was 12 when I first played KH. Sadly it was Re:CoM, so I didn't really like it. It wasn't til I was 13, when my sister got KH2, that I got addicted to it.

    9. I got it for my birthday in '05, but I didn't actually finish it until a while later. For some reason I couldn't get past Chernabog. (No clue why considering how much of a pushover he is compared to Riku-Ansem. ﹁ _﹁)

    I got first the game shortly after it released, so I was probably 7 or 8. I didn't finish/get addicted until 9 or 10, though.

    ...Sixteen, last year. I was at a friend's house and started a file on KH1 and got up to Traverse Town, and later borrowed his copy of 358/2 Days, only to discover that I couldn't progress past the first page of the first tutorial because my L/R buttons are broken.

    I didn't even OWN a game until Thanksgiving weekend that year when I bought a used copy of Re:coded from Gamestop. >>;

    I've been playing the game since I was 6. It was something me and my dad did together, cause I didn't really 'Understand' video games. My uncle showed me the game at a Birthday party for my cousin. He said I could take it. When I bought it to my dad's a legend was born! Lol. Some 6 year old girls play dolls with their fathers, others use a giant Key to kill heartless. It's all good :D But anyway, Since then I've played all of the games with him :)

    I think I was around 14? Kingdom Hearts 2 was getting all these sexy commercials and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. and then i wound up on this crazy site not much later.

    I was thirteen, and I played KHII at my cousin's house for about 7 hours straight after insulting the series and he insisting that I play it.

    I was hooked as soon as I got past the Roxas part at the beginning, now I've played(or watched my sister play) every game in the series. It's A+
