any older players out there?

35 here. Pretty sure a lot of the people I know that play are 30-40.

You have to figure, the first major arcade games came out back in 1980. For a long time the notion has been that older people don't play games or even know what them Marios are, but at this point it's perfectly within reason to expect people in their early 50s to have come up on the early games and have been playing them for 40 years. In short, yeah, there's a metric assload of them around even if they aren't saying anything to identify themselves.

Late 60's here. Been playing computer games since the 1970's ( I worked on mainframes back then), D&D and dial_up MUDs since 1982 or so, MMORPGS since 1997. I build my own PC's. Wrote telecom software for the 6502 microprocessor.

I can't help but laugh when folks are calling 30 somethings 'old'!

Do you recall your first encounter with a brand new game called "Pong"? For me, it was back when I was a youth, travelling to my new home on the ferry from Vancouver to Nanaimo. Our family went up to the lounge area and saw this curious little table that had been recently installed in the corner. It had a screen that was showing a little dot moving back and forth. It was love at first sight and from then on computer games became a permanent part of my life.

Talking 'bout my generation... My dad, who was born in '49 played video games until the day he died and would still be playing if he were alive today.
