Not yet. I'll turn 45 this year. I love meeting older folks that still play, though. How far back does your gaming go? 

 

I got an Atari 2600 (well, a Sears VCS) for Christmas of 1980.

My parents tried to tell me that gaming would be a phase i'd grow out of, did yours think the same back then?

 

I'm way younger than all of you guys though, only 26 here.

In fact, the VCS I got was used, because my uncle (who was 16 at the time) had grown bored of it.

 

My parents were amazed that I never grew out of the "phase"...right until mobile games really took off. Then, suddenly, they were wasting so much time crap like Candy Crush that there were no more debates on the issue.

73 is quite impressive, what would you say your favorite game is, and has your tastes in games changed at all as you've played more through the years?
