Check out this thread amigo. I believe your the answer you seek may be there...

[Number45]

I'm 35... and moving this to OT where it belongs. ;)

[Soundwave]

I'll be 32 in June :)

[gunrock]

I'll be 39 in June. Damn, I feel old. Aches and pains all over the shop.

[tbm]

I wandered in here expecting to be the oldest at 38. I`m SOOOOO happy now :happy:

[112]

Bloody hell Keith! 38 and still playing games.......... I think you need to give all your games to me, incase anyone finds out!

112 :)

[Wil]

I'm 44 but my inner 13 year old keeps me young. That and the blood of virgins!

[briareos_kerensky]

28...probably the youngest :)

[Champloo]

Nah, I'm 20. I think I was 16 when I signed up, which probably explains a lot of my early posts...

It's amazing how old the demographic here tends to be. Most game forums are populated by 15 year olds. RLLMUK seems a bit younger even, or at least the off-topic forum over there would have you believe.

[Ouenben]

18 in May :)

[Oh_Mutants]

I is 31 and a halfs.

Just the right age to fondly remember the golden age of arcades :D

[Shakey_Jake33]

I feel bleedin' young at 23.

[Darwock]

I'm 31, what I can't understand is how some people here are so young when I feel like I've been reading their posts for years.. so, when I was 25 was I having 'debates' with 12 year olds???

[Dirty Sanchez]

'Bout time you young'uns started showing a bit of respect ;-)

[Papercut]

Import gaming must be too expensive for kids.

[ezee ryder]

24 years young I am :)

[MattyD]

I'm on the cusp of turning 27 and that makes me feel ooooooold :(

[charlesr]

27? You're barely born! ;)

Hang on ... this is an "import gaming" site?

(33 here)

[Bassman]

Looks like I'm the "winner" so far... I was born in December 1950

Used to be :p

Now its a PAL Xbox 360 site ;)

[wakka]

I'm 19 next Thursday. This site is practically unique in that it's a games forum that seems to skew massively towards the over 30s...though I'm pretty sure that wasn't always the case. In the massive cull a couple of years ago a lot of slightly more spry 20 somethings got banned, iirc.

Sometimes I have to go on SomethingAwful for a bit so I don't feel so close to death.

Lol, that's true enough.

[tom-nook]

I'm 37 myself. Didn't realise there were so many other old farts here :)

Surely you must qualify for a free 'blue room' membership Roger?....ntsc's equivalent of a bus pass ;)

[SuperDanX]

Im a young 38 ha!

[Myth]

I'm 20 next Tuesday, absolutely dreading it :(

[capcom_suicide]

Still an old facker in my book.

:wub:

[honeymustard]

19 here. I like the diverse range of ages, luckily everyone is very mature and there don't even seem to be any arguments :)

[Pilotwings]

29 here, still old enough to have owned an atari 2600 though!

[hoolak]

33 here. All the olive oil and scouse we consume here in Liverpool keeps me young, agile and horny.

I must be the youngest at 16. Signed up at the age of 13.

You guys are going to be long dead when I reach your ages. :)

[losersclub]

i'm the big 30 a month today!

[Concrete donkey]

i'm the big 30 a month today!

I'm hitting 30 early June. I'm just glad I never made a list of things I wanted to do before I was thirty in my youth as having not done much so far I'd have a ridiculously 40 days or so ahead of me if I did.

[ItsThere]

Bang on mid twenties.

25

[Pavey]

Thought you were older Blair, thought Keith was younger too.

34 now, 35 this year. Funny, i was fine at 33, still had that 'just left school' feeling, 34 comes and boy do i feel old. School seems a million miles away, can't make it through the night with out a piss.

[JazzFunk]

34 here. Had my hair cut last week and now look 21/22. Before that, with long locks, I looked 27. I age like Ghouls N' Ghosts.

A single piss? I go about 3 or 4 times a night!

The ol' bladder ain't what it used to be...

[TheForce]

34 years young ! not even half way (I hope!)

[Decider-VT]

27 here. Only as old as I feel though... which must be bloody old indeed.

[MisterBubbles]

i thought it was only as old as the woman (or man) your feeling ....keep it clean
and Pilotwings must say you have great taste my 1st real console(2600 woody which i still have) if you discount pong etc

[dvdmike]

29 yesterday :(

[NemesiS]

38 and still feel about 22. Just wish the birds felt the same way :rofl:

Been there from the birth of videogaming and had just about everything from a pong machine, Coleco vision, Atari 2600 woodchip, Videopac, ZX80 and almost everything inbetween all the way through to now.

How many of you young'uns can boast that.. or would want to :lol:...(groans inwardly and looks at the grey hairs):cry:


Big Four Zero for me in November :-(

EDIT: Oohh we're doing gaming history too!

I had a ZX80 and a Vic-20. Astro Wars and Galaxy Invader 2000. Oh, and Donkey Kong Game & Watch (wish I'd kept that!) My cousin had an Atari 2600 (lucky sod) and Tin Can Alley!


Just reminiscing mate

ROLF :rofl:..TIN CAN ALLEY..I had that. Wicked with Dr Pepper cans. I forgot all about the little mini arcade games i had as a kid like Space Invaders 1000 & 10000, Galaxian, Pacman, scramble and defender. Memories :thumb:

I can remember playing Space Invaders in the arcade at Maldon Prom when it first came out. I also had an uncle who was so rich that he held a party one new years eve and all us kids got our own room with two table top cabs to play on! One was some kind of Dig Dug game (although not actually dig dug I think). We stayed the nigh and in the morning got to watch Star Wars on his VCR. When I told the kids at school that I'd watched Star Wars on my uncle's TV they beat me up for lying!

Sorry, got carried away with the reminiscing bit.

[Wil]

There's nothing more guaranteed to motivate/depress me than thinking I'm probably more than half way through already. That and seeing old b&w footage of 'swinging' 60s London and knowing that I was around (young, but around) then.

[Ampanman]

Looks like I'm the "winner" so far... I was born in December 1950

Yep, but I'm probably the most active of the old gits, 45 in November and a post count of over 1 a day.

You guys are going to be long dead when I reach your ages. :)

Hold on, this isn't the 1700's, when you reach my age I will have retired and be putting my feet up.
You however will still be working towards your retirement which by then will have been upped to 75:thumb:

[Hohum]

26 myself, although would gladly be younger again already! (don't really know why... perhaps due to how life manages to get increasingly more complicated over time).

I would have loved to have been around during that period (60s/70s are fascinating in so many ways), so you're quite fortunate in a way - don't feel too bad about yourself :)

[MisterBubbles]

btw its was called grandstand match of the day but i remember it by its pic of keegan perm (how could you forget it ) and sub title

[Bassman]

As well as being the oldest, I have been retired for almost 3 years. Being an (almost) full-time gamer certainly has its advantages. I keep telling myself I'll grow up one day, but can't see it happening any time soon!!

Tom-Nook, I think I am still a bit "young" for a bus pass!

[Dogg Thang]

Man, I can't wait for retirement.

[Extra Terrestrial]

I'm 21 years old.

:happy:

I didn't start posting on here more frequently until I was 19, going on 20 as I was a lurker for quite a while so it's all good.

[112]

My brother owned the Tin Can Alley as a kid and as far as i know he still has the whole thing in working order in the loft - including all then un-openable Dr Peppers.........

They sure don't make em like they used to!

I think a variation of the play set came out with coca cola cans instead.

I wasn't even born when he was playing that thing lol!

112 :)

[Ish]

33 myself. Not the oldest, not the youngest, and certainly not the wisest.
