WOO VIC-20!

Press play on tape.

I was never lucky enough to have the tape player, so I had to program that game in the back of the manual each time I wanted to play it... at least I had a couple text based cartridges (loved "The Count" )

first comp was vic-20, first video game system was the 2600 with missle command and empire strikes back

oh, and just turned 41 a week ago

Oooh! I loved Elite. Awesome game.

I think the first cRPG I played was Phantasie III.

Oh, the memories...

http://www.frontier.co.uk/ - the site used to have a blurb that Elite IV would be started Real Soon Now, but it's gone. Which is a pity, really, I would have loved to see an updated version of it.

Without a doubt the Gold Box series on the venerable C=64 is what hooked me on gaming for good.



As for the "culture" comment, would like to know what the poster meant by that? Fact is, game sales have always been good amongst the "older" crowd. And the PC industry knows it and caters to it. Who do you think has the most disposable income??? Plus, when I was 22-25, I sure as hell wasn't sitting home gaming. I was young, dumb and full of ***. I was out partying and chasing tail, not geeking out like I do now!

26... and damn, I was feeling old today before I read this thread. My girl plays (if you can call it that) and she's 22, I also got both of the rents into it, they are both in their 50's.

Hah I did more than my fair share of partying..well inbetween husbands hehe    Now I'm all settled down,  semi-retired and loving having all this time to myself..FOR  A CHANGE.  No more commute, no more surly customers...yay!

Oh and I'll 'fess up...don't usually state my age,   age is a state of mind,   age is a number printed on your forehead.     I prefer to be known by my personality...and I have one!!  (laughs)

I will be turning 58 on October 31  ..Hallowe'en.

Really? I did not know that. In the environment where I grew up, I didn't know of a single adult that played computer games, and having tried to get a few to try one out, the really seemed entirely disinterested. I guess I formed my view from that; that you had to grow up with games to appreciate them. Glad to hear it if I'm wrong.

I am considerably past 40 and I am playing the game. With all the partial nudity in it I wonder how parents are reacting to having their kids play it. And we all know there are parents who will let their kids play it just to keep them from whining.

Personally, I think that  there is a very small minority of the American public with a stupid religious agenda who make so much more noise than their numbers warrant, and harmless human body nakedness is among that group's alway ridiculous worries.  The older you get, short of your death bed, the less attention you pay to such foolishness.

Indeed it's sick, I do wish games and movies would have full nudity allready instead of silly obscuring camera angles. All this fighting about the naked bodies that we all have and have seen is the biggest ****ing nothing in history. I do wonder how many people ****s ****** and vaginas have actually hurt or killed.

Reminds of watching Watchmen and facepalming as the crowd giggled nervously at the sight of DR Manhattan's penis. <_<
