Are You A Young Genius, Or A Button Zapping Old Duffer?

[WarmFluffyUK]

I was wondering what the ages of all our forum members are?

I guess I am a button zapping old duffer. I am the 51 person. I really don't know how I got this old. :blink: One day I was playing video games and the next thing I know, I am 51. Maybe it was the video games. When I started going to the arcades, it was pin ball machines. I'm really not that good of a gamer, but I have a lot of fun. I have a real love for the "arcade type" games. “Retro” is were it really is at for me. I will play video games as long as I can hold the controller and see what it is I am controling.

I know exactly what you mean, I'm a happy bunny when I get my hands on a complicated joystick .

Seriously though, I get as much enjoyment out of the new super graphicy games as I do retro games. You can often see me playing on Mame or ZSNES, just as much as newer games like F.E.A.R, Quake 4 or Fable. Mind you, I also enjoy writing retro style games too!

The reason I wanted to know our average age is that I just turned 40 (Thankfully I look 10 years younger than I am ) and I have noticed a lot of the younger generation have joined our little section of the web. Thus, this pole!

I know what you mean by enjoyment of the more modern day eye candy games. One of my favorites is ICO. Loved that games all the way through it. I am also a Final Fantasy person. I am probably one of the few that really liked FF 9. Even through I have only made it half way through FF 10, I am eagerly waiting for FF 12. I also like the Xenosaga series. I do like a lot of the modern day stuff but I am a little picky in what I play. When it comes to racing, I like the modern stuff.
