How old is everyone playing this game?

munstermash · 03-19-2003, 11:44 AM

I was curious how old everyone is, what age range enjoys playing this game.

Just realized I made a typo, tenns is teens.

KCRoyalsFan · 03-19-2003, 01:21 PM

I personally am a tenns

16

Bill II · 03-19-2003, 01:23 PM

47

JZ Temple · 03-19-2003, 01:34 PM

49, but my wife looks at all of my computer games and wonders if I didn't just lie on my drivers license, since I'm such a kid about getting a new game

So, Shane. How's it feel to sliiide out of that 20's vote and into the 30's one?

I bet you wish this poll went out a few days earlier.

I shouldn't kid, I'm headed that way soon myself. Still, I like picking on you dinosaurs.

What's sad is that I'm still only about halfway to retirement. 30 more years of work YUCK!

ctorg · 03-19-2003, 02:24 PM

I'm 28. I bet if you asked the same question in a graphic game forum, you'd see almost no one over 40 and a lot more teens.

treedom · 03-19-2003, 02:25 PM

28 here...and my OOTP 'debut age' was 26...

theoldman47 · 03-19-2003, 02:35 PM

Let's just say I am over 50. Don't play many games on my computer. Baseball and hockey and that is about it. Oh to be able to be in the largest percentile of this poll! Oh well. Mentally I am in that bracket. Just wish my body felt that age too.
For you youngsters on here, this advice. Enjoy your youth but take care of your health and you'll be playing this game for a long time to come. Life is too short to do otherwise.

I am old enough to remember things like yesterday, and forget yesterday's events. Go figure.

Somewhere between 40 and 50. My age is not that important. Like JZ Temple, my wife thinks I act 25. So I make sure to keep that facade up.

I love video games as much as my 4 boys, 17-23. And if I don't like one of their games, I still get excited to watch them play. They don't share the sports bug as severely as I have it, but they do enjoy to watch sometimes.

(Maybe it is that my 15 foot jumper just doesn't cut it....)

davesim · 03-19-2003, 02:42 PM

It hurt to have to enter "40's" (I'm 40), but nice to see there's other "old guys" here!

OOTP is the only computer game I play any more.

manooly · 03-19-2003, 02:48 PM

Only 30! I'll probably be playing this game until I'm 90 though.

blubbla · 03-19-2003, 02:54 PM

23, been around since I turned 21.

Are those 2 things mutually exclusive?

14 here, and I've been playing since OOTP3. I still have tons of fun playing.
