The then lorry driver used to stop at cafes and service stations to play.
He moved on to console games in 1997 when his family bought him a Nintendo 64 to play James Bond game GoldenEye.
David, a dad of four, took up playing war game Medal of Honor in 2002 with his sons.
Now he wants to video himself playing Warzone and Modern Warfare 2 with his grandkids and stream the contests online.
Part-time plant operator David, of Banwell, Somerset, said: “I’m new at streaming and want to try. I’ve had a lot of fans asking to watch me, they say, ‘get this man streaming’.
“I can still play now as well as I did in the early days. I struggle with modern technology, but I have my son to help me with that.”
But David is banned from disturbing his long-suffering wife Joyce, 68.
Son David Jr said: “Every night it’s like a warzone. He has to stop at 10.30pm because he used to play till 1am.”
