6 1/2 when I got my PC. Of course I was too young to bother with taxes 'n' population in Simcity; I just built roads 'cos it was fun. Thats not true, I will be 74 on my next birthday in August 2008. I have finished The Witcher twice, once with 1.1 and once with 1.2.I run it on a computer that I built myself, and I also use Widows Vista and had very few problems.MachineGunSeeker said:The oldes poster here is a 64 yr old GrandMotherSeeker said:
Dang and I thought 29 (my age) was getting up there to be still playing video games.I got halfway through with 1.1a and the rest with 1.2. Starting my 2nd playthrough still with everything on highest at 720P with my HDTV through DVI800-HDMI and 1280x800 works damn well on my DVI400 16:10 LCD with sound blaster in 5.1. Win XP SP2 32bit here with some minor issues now and then much less now that I have been finalizing my upgrade tests and tweaks. Reminds me, I have to find a better place for my HD screenshots to be hosted, everywhere shrinks them without paying monthly bandwidth fees.

Well, I finally have won something (not sure I like it much).... I am 76. I first started playing on Apple II 16k, 12 in BW monitor, saved on a tape cassette player. Now I have a Mac G5, play PC games with boot camp. Witcher is my favorite PC RPG. So you see, you all have many years of great gaming to look forward to,
Dave that's awesome, I wish I was around to see the very first interactive computer games and the evolution of pc technology in general. Truly an awesome thing.Times sure change fast don't they David? I guess it's only really just yesterday people were expecting the Soviets to nuke us, saw the first moon landing, the hippie movement and all that.I'm 25. My first gaming experience was the original 8-bit Nintendo back in the late 1980s. Still my favorite game console of all time.I suppose when I'm 76 I'll be able to tell people I was around when the internet first started! Cheers
Cheers God! I remember the Apple ll man that brings back memories goes to show the younger gamer that they will be around a long timewhen it comes to gaming and when they reach the age a lot of us old gamer are or will be they will be playing with holographs saying when they where younger they use to play on 4 gb of drive space on a 21inc flat screendavidel said:
