Am sorry if this is in the violation with LYP rules and regulations. However, I really think that this is no advertising or spam. Just want to share with my fellow comrades here. Just found one website for old gamers. People like me who finds Video Games as a form of escapism.

http://www.2old2play.com

Check it out.

wat so interesting on tat site -.-?

Can't you read?

cant you give a direct link?..
i seems to hav trouble finding it

i personally think that the gaming industry has matured so much over the years...It isnt only for kids these days
Some games like Fahrenheit and Black and White 2 can really impress older gamers
i grew up with games and happy that it grew up as well!

i hope i wont get bored with games until i die

i heard game is good for preventing alzhemer.

haha, brain training anyone? last time, seniors play chess. now they can indulge themselves with NDS

doctors(surgeons) use games to improve their hand/eye coordination,so games arent just for kids...they can save a life..

yeah....gaming till death do us apart
besides....games can help ease ur daily tension
just play GTA and beat the shit out of someone!
muahaha

i actually prefer older games...especially SNES era...

Actually, i'm quite bore with games already...nowadays too much concentration with graphics and hardware ....but the games are still the same...only looks prettier, doesn't play any better.

That's why i guess i'm not excited about the next gen....except maybe Wii.

Unfortunately as I get older (and begin to be able to afford games consoles and games) I find myself having less time to play and enjoy them. Dammit.

haha, i can see why that site says gor gamers 25 years or older.
checkout their top 10 weapons of choice. 3 of them are from Doom1/2.

though i'd perfer F.E.A.R weapons as i can right-click stock-butt-instant death. beats cycling through weapons all the time.

True. There are some ortodox thinking. games are for kids. I say, no way. Games are created by adult and of course it is meant for adult.

There are games for kids too. and it is fun to play.

That cannot be. Games are for everyone; of course some certain games are aimed at the adult/adolescent market.

Of course when you're older you play less and less; more responsibilities to be upheld besides the gaming life. But I know of 30 above's who still game regularly despite their work schedule.

yeah its true dat games is 4 everyone... without games life is juz WAAAYYYY TOOOO BORED!!!... hahha... but of coz... the older we get the lesser time to play and more time to work...

so can i assume, everybody here at least 25yrs old?

Yup. 28 years old and counting...

Actually, according to a totally unscientific poll I ran here once, most people here are under 25 great site, I gotta get the Smack Talker

that exactly what i feel too

Ohh pfft, I'm 24 and still get to play regularly despite my work schedule.

Well good on you mate - myself, between the work, girlfriend, family, friends, it's a challenge to sit down for 10+ hours like I used to. That's why the DS is such a blessing to me.

got gf to play nds with u and stilll complain?

Last time can go 24 hours man, until eyes water, play coop Halo, Ghost Recon and the Conflict series and also Norrath etc..

So now a bit toned down la

i used to sit and finish games like xenogears and chrono cross within a week...
now... i dont dare to start an RPG game......
i usually just play short games like Winning Eleven or NFSMW

Hi There guys, am another one in the age group (32- somewhat older too). Have been a PC gamer all my life but have toned down big time over the last 5 years. Anyway, for some reason am suddenly feeling the itch to buy a console and am considering xbox and PS. So which one would you guys recommend for an old guy like me?

Xbox360 or another PC. NDSL also good choice cause protablility.

Me 2 old gamer here.

Now can afford pwning PC but no time to play

Brought NDSL but gf occupy it most of time. Got ~11 titles but only manage to finish 2.

Wooi... it's here already? How come it's still not at my doorstep? Have to call them and see...

Yep, I was a big fan of RPGs and games like MGS back during my student days. These days though, RPGs take way too much time to complete, time which I don't really have thanks to work, gf, family, friends, other hobbies, etc.

Nowadays I go for games that you can just pick up and play anytime for about 20-30 minutes or so. I just can't find time to dedicate 1-2 hours per session like I used to.....ahh, a sign of getting older

Not another PC , am looking forward to relaxing on my couch and playing games, hence my consideration for a console.
Now I'm really gonna sound old. What is NDSL? anyways, more power in the office is not necessary a bad thing,..had a boss that played games ..during office hours

NDSL = Nintendo DS Lite OR handheld crack.

wow....you are a real hero, playing 24 hours non-stop, kinda like that guy in Monster House.

man...now where got time to start an RPG....
if start sure cannot finish.....:~(

yup true..true...

Heheh, my friend's gf also last time almost gave up. We'd start on Friday night or Saturday morning and go all the way to Sunday afternoon. Good times, good times.

i m 30 and still palying games wid my frends who are much older than me.....

age is old but young at heart.....hehehehe

bought ps 2 3 yrs ago.....and i think play lss than 100 times....

no time and no "kakis".......

ya man,... get excited about a new game, buy it, after that.. no time to play....

you preorder? few other also still havent receive yet via mail. else better hurry cause the walk in buying one seems selling like hot cake. manage self collect yesterday evening

looking forward for selamat hari 2142.

The only available in market is x360 and NDSL. the rest is last generation stuff. NDSL is also consider old but new face lift. all nintendo console never fail to make simple good game.

Wii and ps3 is still in horizon.

lol just notice last combat in b2 is almost 1 month ago... now dont know which to play 1st, bf2 or bf2142..

I like this site

this means i can still play games till 30 years old :/

My uncle 30+ still play games.........with his son..

I read an article last year that says the average World of Warcraft (or was it Guild's War) player is a 28-year old male with Paladin character. I guess this year the average age is maybe 29-year old

Does anyone else think that Western countries have more old players?

I just fond out that my friend's father and mother played Xbox 360 together. muwhahahhaha. I am 28. So please think how old is my friend's parents if we are at the same age.

my mom is gamer too. but those tetris, bubble dragon or mahjong puzzle type.

sHe beat me on ps2's bubble dragon and tetris. in fact now she took my ps2 and gba...

so far she actually wear n tear 2 gb n 1 gba n countless of those tetris device. that's why she took my gba. and during cny, i brought back my ps2 to hometown and she keep that too..

I used to think that I will never get bored with games. That games are another form of entertainment. That games is a replacement for books because Final Fantasy series has a better storyline than any book!

I used to fight with my mom about how I play game day and night. In the end, she was right. I grew out of it. I started work and I get too tired to even go home and play game, do quest and missions and level ups. I end up just sit there, dead, watching anime and then sleep.

Games need too much brain power ler.

my 8 yrs old cousin plays better NFSU than me...time to retire

exacly 25 tis year

This post has been edited by eddychstu: Oct 31 2006, 11:24 AM

Eh... 25 already retire? Even my father in-law (55) will pick-up my gun-con and play time crisis each time he come to my home to visit his grandchilren and he's good at it.

Normal la little kids get the better of you. You don't play the games as much as they as we all have work, wife, social obligation, children, etc2 to handle. Plus sports to watch, newspaper to read. World event and politics to ponder. Even my wife is better than me in lots2 of games.

I'm 29 (30 next march)...and I think I'm switching from lvl up RPG to active n casual gaming offered by Nintendo DS n Wii.

I think the moment you go from studying ==> work, you'll have changes in your gaming habits. When I studied, I had 4 consoles at one time + my PC, now when I'm working I barely have time to play on my 1 console (360)

It depends on the person....but for me, gaming is already part of who I am. I may reduce the amount of time I spend on gaming, but I doubt I'll stop gaming, ever

You have a cool family!

27 yrs old here and 2 months to 28.....

I don't think I will stop playing game. Although I simmer down alot since last time. Now I can only get to play games on 12am to 2am coz before 12am gf wants to watch TV. On a good day I can start around 10pm. If I play until 2am next day super tired at work. But I still enjoy doing it.

I generally avoid playing RPG and MMORPG. Those games that will eat up tons of time. Except for final fantasy series la. The story is worth playing for.

I am in mid 30, already have a 9 years old daughter, somehow working. But still do gaming every day especially weekend.

It is actually depend on my work schedule, normally during weekdays, i just grap my psp and play about 15-30 min per session. On weekend im focusing on games that need more brain power.

In this age i guess portable machine is my first choice. I can bring it along with me and play when i feel like to. Haha at one time, when my student having exam, and i feel bored, i took out my nds and play infront of them.

Oh ya, i do rebut-rebut between my daughter and hubby for who get which machine to play games.

Are u a teacher? -.-"

I am a researcher and a lecturer.

27 years old here, enjoy PS2, play less these days. Less than 10 hours per week. Last time crazy about it more than 5 hours per day, weekend 10+ hours

woo hoo same like me..what is ur field of studies?

Economics, what urs?

computer science

I'm 26 and I played a lot of WoW when I lived back home. I would say thay when you are talking about wow there are a lot of older players. We hade some 30+ and even 40+ players in our guild. When it comes to console playing I play much less now than I did 10 years ago. Kinda sad though but when I was younger it was the only thing I did. Now I have so much other things to do!

I'm 28, and still play games regularly - console mostly.

Started back in the day with Intellivision that my dad got us. It looked kinda like a fat PS2 but had these huge catridges. Had so much fun with that!

Then the first PC was an Apple - had those large diskettes to play games and had to flip-them from Disk 1 and 2. I think kids nowadays won't know what those diskettes are!

So all through the years, and different PCs and played games, finally shifted to console gaming a few years ago. Still have some PC games - especially RPG though (Neverwinter Nights 2 etc)

I keep wondering when I'll stop playing - because it's a double whammy, my age and my gender. My mom finds it amusing that I'm such a hardcore gamer.

mmm...i remember having the original gameboy and the tetris catridge that came with it........it was early 90's i believe....i cannot believe i still have tat n it still works!!!....

I'm 25, played mostly on PC games, got my PS2 only 2 years ago. When i was in uni, had lots of friends playing games, we setup our own LAN and battle it out for hours to no end. We are even crazy enough to go LAN an hour b4 the finals. But now working, most of my friends are no longer into gaming. We still chat and hang out but gaming was never a topic. And coz of my work, i can only play for a few hours on weekdays. On weekends, if its not an emergency, knock the other door.

Maybe its just my experience, but the ppl around me kinda look down on gaming, like its a phase of life that u need to grow up from. I mean, i work, pay the bills, pay my taxes, just that i decide to put gaming a priority. They're into cars, im into PC hardwares, they meet new people, i meet new people every day from across the globe.

Iam 28 too, not so much into games already as the more time i put into games, my gf manja me lesser... >.<

Even though me n my gf are gamers, we play generally different games... iam an RPGer... she's a Puzzle Gamer, also a Horror Gamer... my gf used to play horror games on PS2 alone in the hall at midnight while i played FFXI upstairs with my computer... She never gets frightened by those frightening stuffs in those games. Eg: the Camera horror game, forgotten what's d game was called...

There's this one time when she shouts for me for supper, and she's halfway in that game... while making supper, she asks me if i can continue for her... so i did... then i got freaked out by the horrific ambience and the vibration of the joystick when a ghost crawled out from a cupboard on the floor like the Grudge "Zhen Zi" crawled out from the TV... >.< (mother xxxker !@#$%^&*)

I think in my early days in gaming, my mom shielded me alot from my grandparents when i was gaming too hard during school holidays. Back in 1994, i was playing FFV(original cartridge wor...hoho) on SNES for 12 hours straight for as long as the holiday goes...

I'm also toned down a lot on games compared to the old days, but I can't say I'm really a hardcore gamer all along (hitting 20 next year). Remember started to play games with those huge black diskettes on the computer too, followed by cartridges games (was that Famicom?). Remembered playing Street Fighter, Contra and those simple games (100 in 1) day in and day out without getting bored.

Next on was the PC, could replay FFVII and VIII about 15 times before I had to do some serious studying for PMR and SPM. Good thing I didn't become an addict cause my family restricted me from online games and wouldn't get me a PS/PS2 till after my SPM. Now in Uni but still can't find the time to play *Sigh*

But I do know of older people overseas that are pretty much hardcore gamers who are willing to skip work to play FFXII and wait in line for PS3.

Im 25....juz turned 25...haha. Well, i started playing the Game Boy first. I got it from the US. It came wit a Tetris cartridge, stereo earphone, and a cable to connect 2 game boys. Kinda cool to play tetris head to head.
After dat, came the Micro Genius. Its made in Taiwan. Bought it in Spore. The cartridges are damn expensive. i remembered paying 99 bucks for a Super Mario 3.
Then came the 16 bit consoles that 'promised' arcade games experience. Hehe. I chose to buy the Sega Megadrive. Im not really Satisfied wit it coz when i compared it to my friend's Super Nintendo, its kind of...suck...haha.
Then, i still remembered i cant concentrate on my PMR exams because of the Playstation. I got bad marks becoz of it...haha. Few years after that, I bought the Dreamcast. I thot this is it...a console dat is worth buying at last. But unfortunately not...its a great console but...unexpected things happenned. Hav to sell it to buy PS2.
I still play the PS2....and now recently, i got my hands on the 360. I will buy PS3, but not in the near future...haha.
The most important thing is....i cant live without video games. I will not stop playing...haha. Most people tell me....Come on lah, ur too old to play games...ur not a small kid....hahaha. That is where their wrong. Video games are not juz for kids. Its for us adults as well. Most gamers are 18 years and above....right guys?

Waaah...so lucky ah u got a gamer girlfriend....How i wish i hav one...haha.

That camera horror game. Must be Fatal Frame.

hehe... She din't play much initially... have to train her up mah. Played puzzle bobble everyday with her after work last time, then let her win as if she's the QUEEEN of "Balls" loh... ahahaha
Now she culik my NDSL from me... then make me promise to buy her a Black NDSL in the near future... and i have to borrow the NDS from my brother for a boring trip. damn jialat...

lession learned: don't share gaming platform with ur partner, *may* get into fights... haha




yeah, that's the game. suddenly cannot remember the name of such good game tim... must have been playing too much games lately.

LOL. Interesting thread. 25 years old, reporting in, barely making the cut. I game because daily work is just too mundane. Yes, repetitive task easily bores me. Gaming for me is much like watching in the cinema, the immersive-ness heightens my senses.

28, .. just love the Graphics and Physics!, gamer since atari days

too bad, after married, not much time and money can be spent on it

agreed,i even sold my 360 because theres nothing to play about...

i'm 26 now but still must have min 2 hour for playing game. there one time i played for nearly 48 hour straight to finnish up "Max Payne 2".
after that 'dead' for another 48 hour.

I think it's a two edged sword..it can be a good thing and a bad thing if not handled carefully

I agreed to ya. If both could have common interest and play together sharing one tv will be ideal. However, if both have thier own interest and spending time with thier own tv and games might not be healthy for relationship in long term.

My GF doesn't play video game. However, I am glad she will leave me alone when I'm gaming. Then again, can't take full advantage of it and have to spend time with her.

Hate it when you are so hook up with a game (recently FFXII) and you feel like spending 24 hours work on it but GF tak happy

25 yo here~~~

edit: my gf don't like game.. but play abit of tennis and bomberman.
