Who is OCUk's Oldest Gamer?

[XysteR]

42 here, been gaming since pong. First computer was a ZX81 with 1k ram - Who remembers Mazogs? lol

Computers, i've had just about all of the mainstream models. Sinclairs, All CM's, BBC's, Oric1. Never thought much of consoles, first console i bought was an xbox360 and used it only once!

*** Oops double post sorry ***

I've 24 in two months. I've been playing games since I was about 7.

I'm lucky that I have a girlfriend who understands that I've been playing for most of my life and gives me time to play. (Wait until I'm married ).

I'm not the oldest of course but I hope to be sometime .

I'm actually quite looking forward to retiring so I can get on with some serious gaming

If my kids put me in a home without a decent broadband connection I'll be well annoyed.

He used to play Slay, Age of Empires, Settlers, they were what he used to play maybe last year but he is more into card/poker websites now rather than actual game play. But still pretty cool considering his age.

As with many others, ZX spectrum 48k main gaming. But did have a B/W console that had 2 paddles on it for tennis, football & squash. Binatone I think.

The title of this thread is "Who is OCUk's Oldest Gamer?" rather than, "How old are you?", so I am not quite sure why so many 20-30 year old's are posting!

If playing hidden object games counts as 'gaming' then I will almost certainly qualify, although I am not really into 'World of Warcraft' or anything like that.

Just how many OAP's do we actually have on here, I wonder?
