Origin:
before 1000; Middle English gamen, Old English gaman; cognate with Old High German gaman glee. from: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/gamer
1620s, "an athlete," agent noun from game. Meaning "one devoted to playing video or computer games" is attested from 1999. Gamester is attested from 1590s but meant "prostitute" (cf. old slang the first game ever played"copulation"), later "a man fit and ready for anything, a player" (mid-17c.). from: http://www.etymonline.com/ (odd don't you think that "player" was used the same way in the mid-17c as it is today)!
