I am curious, when I play online games like Halo I am ridiculed for being 30 and playing a game. I know it is a just a spoiled little turd saying this to me, but I am curious as to the ages of gamers. I cannot see how the generation that defined the video game is all of a sudden told "You are too old"! Sorry to tell you wippersnappers, but us old folks invented the games you play.
16 - though I don't play online games very often. I prefer strategy (both turn-based and real-time) games, along with two Xbox games that I play fairly often: Assassins Creed and Rainbow Six Vegas 2.
Best game in the world is an offline board game, called Settlers of Catan. My friends and I have met once a month for years to play a board game or occasionally an online game like Halo. And by years, actually, I mean decades.
I am 16 and I love playing games. Me and my friends always meet up to play games like Halo and games on teh Wii like SSBB and Mario Kart. I also love playing games on my PSP.
Never too old to play games
I may be 54 but that only means I have got 30 years experience on Video Games
So look out.
Any Online Quakers or UT players up against Mr MiniGUN that is Me ,so LOOK Out.
I started out playing multiplayer Quake 2 (and almost every mod and map made for Quake 2) back in the day. I also played Quake3, Soldier of Fortune, HalfLife, Enemy Territory, Call of Duty, BattleField 2 and others. Anybody remember Lan parties?
Not going to admit my age, but its over the hill!
55.. I usually play at Pogo if I play online. Yer never too old to enjoy life, mentally anyway.. after awhile, the spirit may be willing and the body weak Can't climb those mountains like I used to!
I found an online version of Settlers of Catan, you can play for free, or pay a monthly fee for more advanced scenarios. The free version is quite fun, though it will take you a while to find the building where they play the game. They are trying to create an online environment, it looks like, where you go to different buildings to play different games.
I remember playing networked Doom at university back in the early 90's, then it got banned because it slowed the whole network down due to a bug that meant it sent the game information to every computer on the network regardless if they were playing or not.
The came Duke Nuken 3D, I remember laying rows of pipe bombs and waiting till an unsuspecting friend walked round the corner and I set them all off
26 here my gaming days started back with the C64 - Flimbos Quest, International Soccer, Fiendish Freddy's Big Top O'Fun and Klax.
Still have my C64 in the attic with about 200 tapes, a mess of a system that used to cause hours of heartache, could be loading for a 1/2 hour only to mess up.
Progressed from there to NES, Master System, Mega Drive.
Then I got my 1st PC and things all changed from there, played 1000s of games over my life now and I doubt I'll ever stop no matter what age I am.
Also have xbox, 360, DS, and an old playstation lying around somewhere.
