Just wondering, do you feel too old to play videogames, am planning to get a 360 sometime ( hopefully soon
I mean my parents don't play video games at all, and even 15 years ago they were never really interested in my Gameboy or Master System
So can you picture when you are say in your 30's you're still be playing on the next best PS5 or whatever it is then.
LOL. Picture it? I'm doing it.
My parents play the occasional game and they are in their 50's. Mum likes Breakout and Pinball. My dads a Breakout and Solitaire player.
As has been said we grew up in a different age. My grandad used to love doing Airfix kits in his youth and still does the occasional one today. My Nan has enjoyed knitting since she was a girl and still does it today so theres no reason why something we grew up doing we should suddenly stop.
Also from a financial point of view your best set up for gaming in your 30's and onwards. In your Teens you probably only work part time, 20's your probably struggling to get on the property ladder etc etc....... exception to the rule being students and those hefty student loans of theirs

started with a zx spectrum when i was 10 or something
for a lot of my age group i think its down to growing up with computers and consoles
i dont play as often as i used to though. oh to be 10 again with no commitments or worries.

One of ours is 7 and she is spoilt, Dreamcast\DS\PC\PS2\Gamecube
She owns me at Mario Party - and she makes the most amazing theme parks in rollercoaster tycoon!
My dad (65 this year) plays more than I do, mainly Ultima Online, but also various things like MahJong and Tetris etc.
My nephews had consoles practically from the day they could hold a controller, by the time the oldest was about 5 he had a Snes, Megadrive, PS, Dreamcast and Saturn (well his dad did, but he used them)
