In an attemp to help you laugh at yourself and maybe feel a bit better - you could have them chip that above statement into your tombstone.

I don't know what else you've achieved in life, but you've always got that!

I'm 30 and i've been playing since .... zx spectrum games , remember how i was colecting games on audio tapes and playing r-type and ramo or something as i remember the load screen was awesome.
Then i moved to sega mega drive ( loved vikings ) and some cheap nintendo , then i went PC and man i played some great games that marked my childhood , Loom , larry , king quest , kirandia , phantom of the opera or something and so on , these were the gold games i will rember and cherish forever , then i went playing first civilization ( played it for months ) , master of orion , master of magic , heroes of might and magic ....... great geart games.
This thread made me download some old games and play them again :) when i have some time.

its good to see other peeps the same age as me still playing games. I'm 34 and have been playing games since the Coleco Vision. 8 bit gaming at its best. i would get my weekly allowance and blow it all on arcade games at the mall. remember arcade rooms?! at the time, my fav was Double Dragon. Then came Street Fighter.Next was Mortal Combat.I've owned almost all game consoles from the Atari 2400 to the Sega Master system. those were the good ol' days. Games were harder to master back then. there were no continues or games saves, only cheat codes like Contras up down up down left right left right b a b a start for the first Nintendo.Then came Doom for the pc and everything changed.The games that got me hooked on pc gaming was the first version of Unreal Tournament and ofcourse the ALL MIGHTY COUNTER STRIKE 1.0! I guess i'll be a gamer for ever.i dont go more than a day or two without playing some sort of video game. Big up to all my hardcore gaming brothas n sistas out there!! Gamers rule all!! :rockout:

Well, 50 here. Interesting to know I'm not alone.

Got back into system building a couple years back, and thought I'd finally see what gaming was like. Been enjoying Mass Effect 2 a lot. Also played Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, Call of Duty: World at War, Wolfenstein, and others.

Used to play arcade games on my Commodore 64 a long time ago.
