    What kind of age poll is this?  All the teens and early twenties are so tightly grouped together, yet just one selection for a 25+?

    Well I'm 27 and I haven't got my invitation to the local golf club or senior center, so I guess I'll continue to play video games and checking my mailbox.



    and.. GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!!!

    What about 35 and above laddie?
  • Carl132pCarl132p Member UncommonPosts: 538
    ... you asked 25+ is old?  yep it is 25 +   = 25 26 27 28 29 30 40 50 60 70 80 90

    as far as you old guys getting defensive    i know i will be playing games for the rest of my life  following some sort of weird cycle from playing as a juvenile to playing senile  i will start and end uttering incoherent sentences. I dont actually think there is something wrong with playing games at any age i was merely implying that this might be the opinion of the op. i know very well that the majority of MMO players are older than me (17).

    isnt asking for age an illegal question? but oh well i answered the poll anyway

    MMOs rule the world

    Oh and to reply to the op when i play mmos i like to be either 30-40 or 9 -13  so i can either vainly try to put people down by questioning their age or i can have an excuse for saying stupid stuff respectively.

    Yes I played pong when it first came out, and I played the hell out of it.  Then atari 2600, intellivision, Commodore 64,  PacMan in a Bowling alley before it was popular.  And I remember playing Super Mario Bros. Stand up arcade in a restaurant thinking, this game is bad ass.



    I also remember being 16, high on pot and playing  Rastan - www.rastan.net/rom_rastan_mame.html in a arcade every day one summer. 



    Ah the good old days.

    Anybody here plan on playing games after 70?

    In America I have bad teeth. If I lived in England my teeth would be perfect.

    Hell yes, hopefully with my grandchildren to be. Hopefully there will be direct brain to computer connections so my athritic old fingers won't let me down.

    For some reason, I found the arcade for SMB to be much harder than the NES one.   I used to really dig Q-Bert.  And Dig Dug.  And Tapper.  Frogger.  Man I can keep on going here.  Oh - and loved Dragon's Lair.  Then in my teens I got into Street Fighter.  Oh how I loved to take down the arrogant jerk trying to impress his GF.  He was no match for my shoryuken.  Hadokens?  Hah!  I used to shoryuken right through those when thrown at me.   Opponent dead within a few seconds.

    It would make my behaviour incredibly hard to predict in PvP FPS shooter games :D
