any older players out there?

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.

I do. My best friends dad bought one. We spent hours in her basement playing it (when her dad wasn't).
