Players; how old are you? at least in your state of mind.

+
I'm 28 as of last april. Sometimes I feel 20 and sometimes I feel 30.

When I'm with my friends or talking to people online. I joke around. I rarely take things seriously. My mind is completely in shutdown mode.

Teenagers these days are weird. Or maybe I've matured? Changed? My younger sister is 19 and a great example of just how different we are. I'm generalizing here, I know. But overall when I sit down and listen to people around this age, I don't relate with them that much. But I dunno. I'm probably just being stupid and this post is the nail in the coffin. :disapprove:
 
Iam 36yo atm and i feel for this age. My first computer was Didaktik Gama (socialistic copy of ZX Spectrum, fully compatible) i got in 1995 as birthday present bought from my friend who sold it as obsolete. I know, it was times of x86 and DOS, but i was 10yo and i got it with a lot of games. I still remember christmas 1998 when i got my first PC… Celeron 266MHz with 16MB RAM and ATi Rage IIC graphic card. I dont remember if i had 2MB or 4MB version. But i think i had just 2MB version. I got it together with 15” CRT monitor and some games including Need For Speed 3. When i wanted to play with DirectX acceleration, the game was smooth on 1024x768, but textures were missing. Everything was white. So my next birthday present was better graphic card - STB Velocity 100 8MB (lite version of 3Dfx VooDoo 3). This two computers were crucial and affected the rest of my life. I wouldn't be where i am without it. I mean school, job, hobbies and this forum :)
 
I am 54, young at heart but my body is probably 80, I haven't aged well. That is life I guess. My first computer was an old Amstrad with a tapedeck. Been playing games ever since.
 
45. Don't know how old I feel. Somewhere between 12 and 500 I guess.

Played mostly games like Deuteros, Paradroid 90, Ultima 2 & 3, Zork, growing up. Had a bit too much interest in the way of the leaf as a teenager, but turned my life around.

Joined the army. Came out more than a bit broken, but have recovered. Have a grown daughter. Played no small part. Had to be sane. Had to be there. Had to earn money.

Gaming served as my escapism.

Now, I'm senior management in a rapidly growing international scale-up. I get to coach yoomers and zoomers. Life is good, I got lucky in many, many ways.

Now, gaming is my reward for myself after busy days.

Reading this thread has been good. Thanks, OP.
