Im one of the old guard it seems. 30+. And back in my day, we didnt have your fancy Motion controlled games, we had a glove on a wire in one hand and a gun that could be tricked by a lightbulb in the other. We had to wade through general department stores to get our games and the idea of a game store was impossible, And to get to a place where we could get games we had to walk uphill in the snow, both ways, backwards!. You lazy kids with your save this game anywhere.. Why back in my day we had to run the risk of getting backhanded if our parents told us to do something and we couldnt just drop the game. Why back in my day you had to plan your play sessions carefully in order to make sure there would be nothing that would interrupt your session and basically cause you to loose everything you had done.

God, you people are making me feel old.

This. Does that make us the elders or something? I remember the days of having to blow on cartridges to get them to work and having to sit close enough for the controller cord to reach. Multi-player was having a friend over so you could TAKE TURNS!

Remember when only you could make your nintendo work, your fiend couldn't. Oh and when Fred Mayer got a game section because the gameboy came out.

21. Still haven't been to a bar.

I feel awkward put into the same category as 25 year olds. Why... they're like... adults and stuff!

The poll has a pretty cool bell curve rocking, skewed upwards due to younger children having limited internet access and know how.

I'm 19 myself.

 

[FinalHeart95]

15... although I turn 16 in under a month.

I feel like a 5 year old kid that corrects you when you say he's 5. "No, I'm 5 and three fourths!"

 

[Slaanax]

I just moved an age category up just turn 26 damn.

 

[moose49408]

Well, I'm in the second highest group. A couple of years and I'll be out of it through.

 

[Thaa'ir]

19...I like being 19. I don't really feel like turning 20.

In the beginning there was "PONG", and we saw that it was awesome, then came the Commendore 64 with "press play on tape", all was good, then an golden era of prosperity began, as NES and other "consoles" saw the creation light, from there on it went. Now games are at the epiphany of the awesome epicness of epic awesomeness.

I'm old enough to say: "I remember a time BEFORE the Internet, and mobile-phones."

That cracks me up.

 

[thespianicism]

Seventeen. Eighteen in a month.

 

[Sexy Street]

I am a person between the twilight of age, brought down by the contingencies of the mortal realm and wrought with the riddles of the realm of the immortals. They called me the bringer in the realm that I was banished from, and where I once ruled. Here they call me the loner, the dead, and the unforgiving. What I have seen in my age of darkness shall never be known to all those of man, and will forever be engraved into the minds of all immortals. Seething with the hatred and ruin of this fact, that I shall never be written, but always remembered as a lonesome memory in the heart, soul, and foundry of the ones I used to call friend. So often are the beings in fear of who I am, and what I posses that they shake in fear. They blamed me. They blame me. They will always blame those who they do not understand, and the ruin they can cause. And I now am cast down from the former location of my rule. I will always remember the place. It was beautiful.

 

[Gordominus]

I've been alive for 20 years.

I grew up playing the SNES and Megadrive. Now look at it!! I really can't wait to see what gaming will be like in another score of years!

You'll have to speak my good ear, son. I can't hear you!
