How old are you?

[seireikhaan]

I admit I'm a little surprised by the results thus far. I figured most of us here would be a bit older than what I'm seeing, given MTW's age.

Hey, a great game is a great game. Even though I'm "younger" by comparison, that doesn't mean I judge games based solely on graphics. If I did, I would be in the RTW and M2TW sections instead. If a game has pretty graphics, that's a plus, imo. Priority #1 for me is gameplay, and even though there are a few quirks I disagree with, MTW has great all around gameplay, flat out.

Very true. 'Twas my fault for underestimating the good taste of all you "whippersnappers" here.

I should reinstall M:TW... It's seems more appropriate for my age category than M2:TW.

I'm 29 btw...

I'm a youthfull 54 and I did first play computer games back in the 80's on a Commodore 64. However, my real background was wargamming - playing games with model soldiers - all periods from ancient to modern day. Back in the 80's I was playing at a National standard (in the UK) and it took up a lot of my time. However, getting married put an end to that!!
I think the reason I love MTW so much is that it mirrors that wargame experience - without the hassle of painting figures and travelling to a draughty church hall to play somebody. When you add the strategic element and the fact the game is so replayable, it is not surprising that MTW has such an appeal. I also have a 9 year old son, who is keen on PC games, PS2 etc and I look forward to introducing him to the delights of MTW in a year or 2's time.
As for the poll, it is fascinating - when I joined the Guild I expected everybody to be about 16 and I would be old enough to be most members' grandfather - in fact the reverse is true. A real mix of all ages and a wealth of wisdom and insight into all aspects of the game and, via the Monastry etc, history and the challenge of interactive history. So the poll proves beyond all doubt that we are not all geeky teenage boys in need of a life, spending our lives in darkened rooms - some of us are geeky old men!!!

I'm 37 and MTW is the only computer game I play. My son is 16 and he also plays. Over dinner he and I discuss the best use of assasins and spies or how fun it is to watch our cavalry chase down routed enemies. My wife just gives us that look of disgust that says - "grow up." Ah but I can not resist.

Ah, but you just tell her how important it is for fathers and teenage sons to share some interests as it makes for a happier and more communicative home

If my daughter becomes smarter than me, I'll still take credit for it. It's a win - win.
