24 or 25.I remember first playing. It was Christmas break 1999 and I was a resident manager of a student housing complex. The other managers and most of the residents went home for the 2 weeks. I was from the area so I stayed to watch over the 300 mostly empty apartments and was very very bored. So first I downloaded and played and beat Mech Warrior. Then I wanted another, but the only game I could find for free on torrent sites that worked was UT99. I downloaded it and installed it. I beat the bots and Xan of course....but then I went online! I played CTF Face as my first map and didn't know what was going on! How were these people so good? Were the cheating? LOL I am super competitive ex athlete, so I was hooked!
FYI, at this point I've purchased UT about 3 times, plus the new ones as well. So they got their money and more!

Re: How old were you when Unreal Tournament came out?
Admittedly I didn't buy UT the 1st time out. I later bought the GOTY version, and Unreal Anthology after that, but back in 1999 I got my first UT from Mike.
Mike was the guy that serviced a lot of his friends computers, and while he was stingy with the demo version of ut99...when the full version came out he burned CD's for everybody. He even made his own little patch to get around the CD in the drive requirement from the original version.
He gave me his original download CDs later on too. After 436 came out, he didn't need the original discs anymore.

"Everyone is an idea man. Everybody thinks they have a revolutionary new game concept that no one else has ever thought of. Having cool ideas will rarely get you anywhere in the games industry. You have to be able to implement your ideas or provide some useful skill. Never join a project whose idea man or leader has no obvious development skills. Never join a project that only has a web designer. You have your own ideas. Focus on them carefully and in small chunks and you will be able to develop cool projects."

Re: How old were you when Unreal Tournament came out?
born in 95, UT came out in 99 so I was about 4 when it came out but I was introduced to it in 2002 I would've been 7 around then, it was being shared around with my brother among other kids in the high school yard in his year
Re: How old were you when Unreal Tournament came out?
I was 3 years old when UT99 came out. I believe I got introduced to it somewhere between the age of 4 and 7.
