Poll: Average age of TheEscapist forumgoers...

[Knight Templar]

The mean age of gamers is 30, so i'd say around 25-30 but I'd rather know the mode. These are Aussie numbers I'm using so I could be off, also I'm just guessing.

18, my first console was the Sega Mega Drive. I wonder where that heap of junk is now

 

[TheIceface]

First console? Atari 2600. I managed to plug in a power cord to an audio-out jack or something, and fry it. Wasn't really mine, was my brother's. Age-wise? Mine is somewhere between 18-24 although I act between 2-6 and 30-63 alternatively.

I am older than the sun and stars and more venerable than the most ancient abyss! I have seen kingdoms fall and empire's rise! I have watched the higgledy-piggledy forward march of man with a curious eye and a heart full of contempt! I have witnessed the birth of universes and the destruction of worlds! I have seen all and done all...I am actually 18.

 

[TheBadass]

Eighteen, with my first console being a Sega Mega Drive. Good times...
