Age of Sinners

How old are you

I have been reading thru the many and varied threads in this forum, collecting information about SoaSE to improve my game and my modding.

I was just curious about the average age of Sins players, I am 44 and wondering if I am in the minority or not?

Seems I am the oldest gamer in town ;) LOL

Ahhh the Commodore days :) I actually started with an Atari game console graduated to a Commodore Vic20 handed down to me by my best friend, anyone else have one of those? (Vic20 I mean). Then the A500. I finally made the it to the Commodore Amiga1200 which I still have plus all my games. I dreamt of having a Commodore 3000, but finally made the leap to a Packard Bell with Windows 3.1 with 8 meg of memory. It was the top of the range back then. Cost me a fortune had to get a bank loan to buy it LOL.

We all still have the kid inside us its only the outside thats aged LOL ;) Never lose touch with the inner child is my motto lifes too short :HOT: :CONGRAT:

Okay so anyone older? I cant be the oldest surely???? :SURPRISED:

Nope Starbuccaneer, you're not the eldest Sinner here...I'm 52 and 3 months! :-D I started gaming with handheld versions of arcade games (Space Invaders etc) then bought an Atari 400 with tape drive. I got into PC gaming with a Radio Shack computer with Windows 3.1. With the arrival of my son we have had several game consoles. But now I'm back on the PC!

Hi Johnny51 and Bobrome103!

Great to hear i am in good company, was beginning to wonder. Its great to know i am not the only "big kid" on the block.

Do you guys play sins online? I have yet to try an online game of Sins been put off by what "sounds" like a lot of problems and the fact that I am pretty new to Sins too. We could form a "Clan of Mature Gentlemen" lol :)

What other PC games do you guys play?

BTW Bobrome103 your profile says you are 18 lol ;)

Maybe this should be a separate post but it just occurred to me Do any Girl Folk play sins, I know they Play EVEonline

I'm 18. I'm surprised about some of the ages - I had assumed most were around my age.

Starbuccaneer....I want to get Mass Effect after I upgrade my video card. I was playing Warcraft 3 for a while until my other computer died. This is the new puter I'm using. :-D I bought a plain vanilla business computer so I could get Windows XP, with the plan to upgrade the video. Some years ago I played a lot of Ghost Recon, even belonged to an online clan. I bought Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter but I need that new vid card to play it. I also may reinstall Call of Duty United Offensive. It's a really fun game online (dont know if anyone still plays it online though, I will find out).

Other than that I play games on my Wii. I love the online multiplay of Medal of Honor Heroes 2, sometimes play Wii Sports bowling, and have downloaded games like rpgs and arcade games. The other night I played Final Fantasy: My Day As A King. It's a simulation of building and maintaining a kingdom. It's a bit repetitive so far but I'm reserving judgment until I get a bit further into it (you send out adventurers who gather resources, go mingle with townspeople to raise "morale", build houses and other structures (stores), read reports, rinse repeat). The graphics are nice and it has a pleasant feel to it.

I would join a mature players clan, Ive often wanted to. My old clan was mostly guys 20 something and up.

Hi Johnnny51..

I have loads of games but favourites that i play over and over are SIMS2, CIV4, SIMCITY4, ROME TOTAL WAR, CRYSIS, and FARCRY to name but a few.

Have only played Call of Duty single player, loved it.I believe they still have a thriving online community.

Played EVE Online, got very hooked on it snag was i was continuously playing it till the early hours of the morning even to the point of falling asleep at my PC. Also played Guildwars online and Star Wars before they changed it.

After a bit more practice I am going to try SinsofaSolarEmpire online. If you fancy a match sometime let me know :)

I'll be 36 in August. I've been gaming ever since I was six years old when my Dad brought home an Atari 2600. Some people might look down their noses and wonder what a college-educated married man-child is doing gaming, but those same people probably enjoy spending hours vegetating in their recliners watching mindless TV shows and movies. At least my recreational activity is interactive and somewhat social.

Hi Hack78

I remember thirty :) hated and dreaded it! but forty was a breeze LOL :) not sure what I will feel at fifty but i know I'll still be gaming!!!

Hi bobrome103

Yeah I would like to be 18 again but with all the memories experience etcetera gained to date!! LOL ;) Have been practising beating the AI and have modded a few planets, asteroids etcetera. Have modded a Kol Battleship to make it uber powerful. Now it slices thru enemy ships just like the earth force ships in babylon5.

Hi CenturionJixra,

Here Here! yes I agree wholeheartedly with you people do look down on gamers but think nothing of vegging out in front of rubbish TV ( my partners of the past and present especially lol).

Hi Johnnny51,

Will look forward to a match :D maybe with bobrome103 too.....

Maybe this should be a separate post but it just occurred to me Do any Girl Folk play sins, I know they Play EVEonline......

Spotted a girls profile the other day went by the name ofSorceress so that answers that question!
