Old enough to remember games sold in ziplock bags at computer stores. LOL

Well, I'm 38....
....my wife is 26 as well! To be fair, I met her when she was 23, so probably not...
The formula for testing whether you are a pervert: minimum acceptable dating age equals your own age divided by two, then add seven years. So if you're 30, you can date a 22 year old without being called a perv, but don't go any lower.
I get to be a perv for two months every year...

Ohhhh Musta missed that with my old eyes and slow mind :) Good to hear I'm not the only one in the 50s AND still lovin' gaming.
EDITED TO ADD: I take the above back. His post came after I made the one quoted. WHEW...I thought I was really losing it. Now, back to playing Super Mario Brothers. Cool, new game, eh folks?! ;-)

My gawd, we're still playing games on computers older than most of the posters here... ;-O
No wonder people are confused as to what constitutes a 'classic' title!
That said, I am NOT the oldest poster. Just starting to feel like it. ;-/

Only 2 months a year? Damn that must suck!

24 here. I think GOG.COM drags in people who really loves old games and appreciate time spent with them. :] I can tell that from average age of users. ;) I'll be honest: none of new productions gave me such fun as Fallout or Baldur's Gate. >.< That's why I'm here. I prefer old games with magic mood than new games with nothing but super graphic.
Classic games still rocks! \m/

I am nearly 24 1/2 years old, been playing games since I was about three or four. I probably did not understand most of them at that age though, not being a native English speaker. Games did play a significant role in my English education though, especially the early Quest adventure games with text-parser interfaces.

Same here (minus the Quest games), I've learned much English from playing games. (Heh, I remember playing the Heroes of Might and Magic 2 demo with a dictionary in hand.)
That's one of the reasons why I think there should be an option to play localized games in English.

I remember starting out on Lemonade Stand and Castle Wolfenstein on the Apple IIe.
We got an IBM PC in '83 and I never looked back.

I'm 44. My first computer was an 8K Commodore PET with the little keys and a tape deck to save & load programs. First games were Space Invaders, Cosmic Jailbreak, 3D Star Trek plus many others. I started to write a few simple games for my own amusement, which is how I became a programmer - but not a games programmer.

18, boom boom.

50!
Started with an atari-800 and then in the mid-80's got an 8088 PC clone.
