Woohoo! I'm above average.. (barely..)
I also started on the old system that plugged into the aerial socket on the TV, it had two paddle controllers and a light gun.. then moved on and owned pretty much every system as they progressed. Yet my favorite game through all that has always been Elite, I've had a version on most of the systems I've had as they progressed
And as another person in this thread said, the people playing the first video games are now around the 37 year old mark.

While true, I do buy video games for my kids, the video game culture in my household is 100% driven by me, a 39 yr old father of 3 and small business owner. And I openly discuss my game playing. Proud abuser of the keyboard since 1978!
I didn't get my own C64 till the 80's but i used to play my friends ti in 78/79. Also pong. And 2600.
Trying to get a laptop that runs eve for my son so the whole family can play. . Adapt and overcome or become a monkey on an evolution poster.

I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys-R-Us kid. There's a million toys at Toys-R-Us that I can play with! There's bikes and trains and video games; it's the coolest toy store there is! I don't wanna grow up, 'cuz baby if I did, I wouldn't be a Toys-R-Us kid.
Also, I'm happily bringing down that average. I'm 18 with 14 years experience.
Just spit all over my keyboard....damn you now that ****ing jingle is stuck in my head!!! On the other side of the screen, it all looks so easy. |

In old days games were good, graphics were not. Now it is other way around. Even the M.U.L.E had better planetary interaction than EVE :)
Btw related to that... check this out :) --- This is one of the moments where we look at what CCP does and less of what they say. Innovation takes time to set in and the predictable reaction is always to resist change |

Originally by: fukier Edited by: fukier on 20/08/2011 16:23:00 wow am i ever a youth then... i am 26... though i have different memories... i remember the endless hours in the arcade, playing duck hunt on the Nintendo and playing "Mantis" on my mega fast computer which had 5 gigs and a ***ping 64 mb of ram and ran at 99 mega hertz... also in 91 required the first 3d rendering video card... I remember having to type c:\win to start windows 3.1 and playing Civ II in 95 for years also Master of Orion II...
I am a proud gammer and hope when i am 37 i will have a child i can introduce to eve/gamming in general and perhaps get them to play one of my alts...
You must have started late.
You are 2 years older than me but my gaming memories go much farther back..
I started gaming when I was 3. Windows? WTH is that? You could name pretty much any dos shareware game and I guarantee you I have played it. I never had any console systems. In fact besides my game gear and game boy colour the first console I have ever had is my PS3.
I have fond dos memories though...Dune 1 and 2, doom, Wolfenstein 3d, duke nukem, commander keen, Command and Conquer, I could go on forever.
All I ever had until I was 10 was no better than a 486. I finally got my first taste real of windows (3.1 was terrible trash and useless so after playing around i pretty much went back to dos) when I was 11 and we were able to load windows 95 onto a 486 dx266. That baby had a whopping 500mb HDD and 16MB ram. With this beast I was able to actually play Diablo and then eventually Starcraft when it was released(OMGZ) thought it was a little slow at times.
I never had anything better than a 486 until I was 13 when I finally got a P3 450 96MB arm and a 16MB savage 3.
Ahhh yea those were the days.
All you console owners were a bunch of rich snobby cu*ts and I hated you for the record.

EVE is the only game I've ever taken seriously, but if this qualifies as an "older, more mature" community then I can't imagine what pits the rest of gaming is mired in.

Read the WoW forums for a bit. You'll learn soon enough.

Edited by: BrundleMeth on 21/08/2011 01:46:19 I don't give a ratz fat ass what people think.
I am 54 years old, been playing games since 1988. My 50 year old wife is a gamer, has her own rigs, does Beta testing for a few companies. We played in clans in the Unreal Tournament world for 8 years. I have 12 working gaming rigs here at home. I have a computer room all CAT5 wired, 20 power plugs, the power is isolated from the rest of the house with it's own breaker box. The fact is, older people tend to have more disposable income to pay for this stuff.
When I want new hardware, the wife says "Me too"...
Life is good...
(I facking hate it when people call it "video games" They are PC Games.)

Anybody remember M.U.L.E.? I cant ever forget it. It was the economic simulation that pulled me into EVE. Wonderful gameplay and only 8 bits. 4 people games, one of the first Multiplayer games that could utilize teamwork instead of PVP . Real carebear stuff they call it nowadays. Imagine working together instead of against each other. Talk about quaint and old fashioned. :) But, Dan and Bill Bunten and Ozark softscape were my heroes.
