would be kinda cool if there where some "older" guys/girls here above 60

60 year olds playing a 3D real time epic-scale strategy game?
If I can pull that off when I'm 60 I'll be awfully proud of myself.

19, btw.

Amazing how this thread got completely sidetracked.

I dont think there are too many 60+ gamers... its gotta have something to do with you know, pre-pong era.

No, but you're doomed anyway now.   

43 years old huh? so you must have been gaming by candlelight.

19 years old myslef, but working on it
anyway, all you 'game geezers' here have an even worse atention span. Wasn't this about a gameplay video?

Was it?

I think they are just emersed in the memories, the first time they got that computer the size of their house, the first 3D game that they saw. You know the old stuff.

14 - Australia And sofar it looks like I'm the youngest in yet another place....ah well.....

It appears you are not, I'm 13.

Curses!

I mean back on topic! Lol... In game video will easily promote SINS

And in regards to this::::

I remember back when I saw my first computer mouse, it was a godsend after using the keyboard only, and the mouse had only one button and still used a ball, and you had to clean the wheels in the mouse when it didn't work correctly! Some mice today have 7 buttons, and I can't remember the last time I saw a mouse ball!

22 , and it seems i fall under the moderate category. Tho gaming age if there is such a thing , id probably be about 18 still...until im like 25 ish or stuff

lordkosc - aaah hehe, that reminds me of my first pc, it was a 133mhz amd i think, with 64mb ram, and a 2gb harddrive. And that was in 1995 i think.
And one of the best games i remember was Dune 1 and 2 AND diablo the first  

The first game I ever played (I know I'm too young to be nostalgic but here goes) was Worms. I must've been about five, and Dad was playing it on our old Acorn computer (don't ask me the specs I can't think that low) and I became hooked instantly.

Turning point in my life, for better or worse?

Better: I have greatly improved my knowledge of computers from reading system requirements

Worse: My wrist aches.

heh im only 20 atm but i remember that our first family compute had to be upgraded to play RAPTOR (wonderful game) i had to pay 100 dollors for a megabyte of ram, took me forever to save up the money.

@lordkosc: The mouses used a ball!! I think i saw one of those in a museum once

Funny, how quickly our boredom drove us off topic

ill be 32 in may

first game i played, I think, would be something on the atari, galaxian.
then a sega megadrive (go sonic) moving on to amiga (go lemmings) then to a pc (Dune 2 ftw)

Ok, as we are already as far off topic as it possibly gets, I´ll add my memories too   

First game ever played was Elite (the first, original one, you know, CGA graphics with 4 colors at a whooping resolution of 320 x 200 pixles) on an Amstrad PC 1512 with, you guessed it, 512 kb ram and twin 360kb floppy drives (no, no harddisk at all) and at a whooping 8Mhz back in 1986 or 87.

Ah, where has the time gone?

This was an advanced game!   

Spectrum 48 (48 stands for 48kB memory), THOSE were the days... Five minutes loading times, screeching, TAPE LOADING ERROR... I hope those days never come back.   

Only once did I reconnect Spectrum after we got PC. I got an attack of nostalgia, connected the computer to the stereo and television, inserted an ancient cassette and waited for the game to load. I waited for two minutes, wondered how I ever put up with it, disconnected the whole thing and never looked back again.

Wow, I've never even heard of half these old machines. You guys must be realy, REALY, old to have used those things.
  

See you guys online, I'll try not to win too quickly.  

BTW, i'm 18

Meh, tapes? luxury, in my day (not really but bear with me) we had this one big yellow big, with two fixed controllers and ONE game! four colors? vanity! we had only two.

but yeah i wonder how you guys ever put up with those loading times. I remember thinking Doom's loading time was annoying, but then again, I was a sega/snes kid.
