How old are the gamers here?

[bigjimmy]

We all seem to spend quite a bit of time on our PS2's XBox's and such. I get told that i should have grown out of my PS2 by now. No chance. Im 25 and still feel I have years of gaming left.

How old is everyone else here, and how much longer will you be playing games for?

(Just to make me feel a bit better about being a 25 year old PS2 Geek)

No way mate, you are never too old for games.

Only good games, mind you. Not the nearly 90% of crappy games out today.

Don't really get the chance to do much gaming (the management at home gives far too much grief!)

Last "proper" game I got stuck into has the original Half-Life.

Most of my gaming now is limited to MAME on the PC.

Great retro fun!

(36 by the way, and remember the original Space Invader arcade machines coming into the UK!!)

Only if your unlucky on the woman you choose.
A real gamer would find a gamer wife.
