I am afriad I must disagree such typical image of computer games player.

I too used to believe in such image, untill I got into the communities of games that I have played, such as Neverwinter Nights (roleplaying game and MMORPG type of online words), Half-Life's Counter Strike and Total War (got I play too many games).

I actually realise that many companies of people are from 20's onwards, and many clan leaders, and people who play the role as a host of a game, or a clan, are from their 30's.

Of course this is just my personal experience.

Also, there is only one vote for being 65 years old, everything else could hardly be caled, "elderly people". There is somthing called wisdom, which a lot of kids have no idea about, such as saying 20 years old + is elderly. Its much better than shouting "I will pwn y00000" during online game though :)

Old age and treachery will always overcome youth and vigour...

38 yrs, feeling old and decrepit already.

I'm 53...

Do I remember the Milton Bradley games? I had them all. Dogfight, Broadsides, Hit the beach and Civil War (before it was renamed Battlecry).
I started computer gaming with Zork and Mystery house. Zork had the best graphics ever done. At least in my mind

22 at the end of march.

First started playing computer games on those god awful BBC machines you used to get in primary schools.

I remember playing text RPG games ie. blackscreen (or maybe it was green cant remember) with the text saying: to the west you see a tree, to the east you see a mountain to the north you see a village. Where do you want to go - you then had to type in something like go east or go north
