Find the oldest gamers .. am I too old for gaming ?

[gunsmoke]

I played it on a Dell laptop and it like to have drove me crazy because there was no save game feature lol. If you failed you had to start over from the beginning.

it was one the hitman games he had a axe hitman 2 ? i think on the xbox
still fun tho killing people with a axe just like in life lol

 

[streetfighter 2]

So, anyone wanna tell me why we didn't just make this a club?

Let's say, arbitrary number of years gaming (say 15?) warrants membership in the "two old for game club".

Old enough to pay taxes, yet young enough to suck at spelling and grammar.

still fun tho killing people with a axe just like in life lol

Wait... Wut?

Nope, I don't think I'm Ken (or Guile) from SF2. Though I have come close to beating the game with Ken (one quarter, arcade difficulty) before.

I'm not even very good at SF2 (though I'm equally good with any character). It's just one of the best fighting games ever made. When it came out on SNES I was amazed at how sophisticated the combat system was. When you compare it to fighting games of that era (like Fatal Fury) it's a million times better. It set the precedent for fighting games for years to come.

A few years ago I bought a Street Fighter II arcade machine that was on it's way to the dump. I turned it into a MAME cabinet and had quite a bit of fun with it, especially when I hosted parties. The handle is a product of those good vibes.

Street Fighter II The World Warrior is the best selling Capcom game ever.

[Melvis]

Im 29, when i poped out of mum i landed on a Atari console and that's where it all began lol

The average age for a gamer is 29 so im spot on.

 

[Hugis]

Sounds quite familiar. That's there is the Swedish version of me

Amstrad, NES, then PC all the way until I bought a Wii a couple of years back to keep the gf from interfering with my pc-gaming.

 

[stuartb04]

[LifeOnMars]

31, and been playing since my older bro first showed me his Acorn Electron back in 1983 Citadel was the first game that totally enchanted me (1985)and used to play whilst listening to Stan Ridgeway's camoflauge repeatedly. I will never stop playing games!!!!

 

[Jaffakeik]

First game I played was 20years ago when i was 5y old. it was zx spectrum machine but dont remember my first game and still playin sometimes some old games like sypaplex.

 

[Yukikaze]

27 years old here, been gaming for 20 years now.

 

[REDDLINE]

Im probably one of the youngest people here, im 18, and i have been gaming since i was 5, but taught to assemble a computer at 11, my dad told me back in the day that a console cant compete with a custom built gaming computer, except for their little gadgets (Kinect) XD.

To add to this, my father had a NES which i played everyday, then went to snes,
played SuperMario and Donkey Kong Country EVERYDAY, went to computer and played
doom, quake, annnnd then i got my hands on Descent, every since then i have been a
PC gamer, but i do own many consoles and play on them, just not as much as the PC.

 

[BlackMagic]

I'm going to be 61 in December.
Still play fps games like MOH and COD.

I'm so old I can't even remember what I used to play back in the day. I know I did play America's Army ver. 1.2 way back when. And I still play AA now.

Remember the Atari 2600 and the Coleco Vision? I had them.
I remember buying a 386 SX pc and spending $2000.00 for it. My friends thought I was insane in the head at the time. That was a lot of money. And my wife wasn't way too happy about it either.
Then a 486 DX...then a Pentium...and on and on.
I finally stopped (for a while) with a socket 775 Intel E-8400 (own a couple of them).

Ahh, old age and memories, it's sort of cool. Sure wish I had the hand and eye coordination I used to have though, to stay competitive in these fps games.
Seems like I'm getting my arse handed to me a lot more now a days.

 

[Samdbugman]

56 here, started playing space invaders and asteroids, dragon warrior on nintindo hooked me, playing final fantasy 14 now. lol

 

[AlienIsGOD]

34 here, started with an intellivision, Colecovision, then went thru all the NES consoles... 1st comp I remember in my house was a Tandy 1000 in the late 80s.

 

[digibucc]

If you failed you had to start over from the beginning.

yeah that's why i never finished it.... great fun, but i hate replaying an entire chapter because i screwed up something small. also with hitman (like splinter cell) i for some reason feel if it didn't go PERFECT, you have to redo it. one wrong guy dead (or alive), what shot at me, etc. all count for redos... luckily i'm not like that with all games


25 here... been playing since 5/6, with Mario/Duck Hunt on my NES. I had played Atari once or twice before that , but only for minutes and I never owned one. D&D was awesome though Then Diablo I was my first PC game, and it trapped me I actually played the original dooms and hexens, etc - AFTER Diablo I

Ahh, old age and memories, it's sort of cool. Sure wish I had the hand and eye coordination I used to have though, to stay competitive in these fps games.

don't feel bad that peak is reached at about 17 , we're all downhill from there

 

[olithereal]

18 here, been gaming since I'm 4.

 

[3volvedcombat]

Im 17 here, Most of these guys at tpu have alot of wisdom, and knowledge like you wouldnt belive.

Sometimes.

Just sometimes.

The only reason why TPU is a good place to just explore the computer word via threads, Is because there honestly is a great source of info sense all these old guru's post it every-were.

Its like free IT school if you read what alot of these guys say.

Anyways, I feel young now, So ill craw in my child cave

Ive been playing halo PC for 8 years now. Try to beat me. you wont.

 

[robwinxp]

34 and going to game till i fall over dead.....fps mostly, except into emulation also!.....GAMING RULES!!!!!!
