Well, I'm amazed. At 59, I usually reckon I'm running with a much younger crowd in forums. I first used a computer in 66, first played (text-based) games in 85, resisted getting a home PC which my wife (incorrectly at the time) thought was needed for our kids' education because I knew my son and I would get hooked on games ... and so it proved when I gave in in 92 (and later the girls too). W7 was my all-time favourite game for several years until the CRPG revival with Daggerfall, Fallout, BG etc; caught W8 a bit late (couldn't find it locally) but am enjoying it. But my ATF now is from Sir-Tech's other stream, Jagged Alliance 2, "a squad-based strategy game with role-playing elements." (No, no, not "role-playing elephants."

I just tested this Wizardry8 demo, and i have to say that it sure was a fun drive, so add one 40 years old to this fan club.
Computers that i've played and owned:
Vic-20
Spectrum
Amstrad cpc-64
C-64
C-128
Amiga 500
CD32 (amiga)
Amiga 1200
PC (first one was 486dx, wow)
Playstation
And variety of video game players(very early ones), those ones that had ping pong

I still have that Amiga 1200 and 2 PC's

As the Second oldest player on these forums, you should feel younger that me.

Rend ...

How about a tally of the ages (at least by decade!) I',, convinced the average RPGhead is 10 years older than any other game group.

Oh. As long as you're asking. Add 55 to the heap.

Hehe, He just want a list of everybodys approximate age, to confirm that CRPG players in general are a little older than other gaming groups. I think such a test will confirm that, if people don't cheat about their ages!

BTW, Danicek, you could setup a poll for that.
Like : Poll for CRGP gamers age.
10-15 years old
15-20 years old
20-25 years old etc.
Or use decades instead, but half of decades like above is also good!

And you can setup such poll also. Here or in oftopic forum or maybe in general CRPG forum (seems best for me), because it is about all CRPG players, not only about Wiz8.

Do it .
