Don't close the thead without me!

58 years and much younger when playing games.

I noticed a few illlustrious forum contributers did not post here - yet - Witchen, amazing walkthrough writer, and Jenny100, amazing tech person. Come on, be brave, fess up.

I'm sure there have been other frequent posters that I've missed. I love seeing everyone's age - sometimes you can predict the age (based on the life experiences people talk about) and sometimes you can't!

Hi guys!
Hangin' in right around the big 5-0. I can still here my father's words whenever he felt the need to comfort me......."Moe", he'd say, "Crazy people never get old, they just mellow." Then one of my girlfriends from work blew that theory all to hell when she asked me, "What are you going to do? Wait until you're 99, then go from mellow to mold?!" Oh, well....... <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/woozy.gif" />

I will be 51 on the 28th of this month (Sept.)
The body may be starting to age, but the mind is still young at heart. I believe that's due to all the adventure games I play

I'm 38. About halfway my life, I would say.

i really feel young here...im 17 now...18 in may

There are lots of members around your age Drizzt. They just haven't posted because I made the mistake of asking for members over 45 to post. I should have just asked for ages. <img border="0" alt="[winky]" title="" src="graemlins/winky.gif" />

Well I just turned 48 and also celebrated our 25th Wedding anniversary. I guess adventure games appeal to all ages. That is the great thiing about them. You are never too old to play them. It doesn't matter about the reflexes slowing down a little as with some other forms of games does it? I think I will be adventuring for a long time yet. Having said that I do wonder sometimes whether the games are getting harder these days or my mind getting slower

Gosh, because I'm usually over on the Trivia, Mindbenders forum, I missed this thread. Dee was the first to welcome me to Gameboomers...I really want to be part of the archives...I'm 58... of course I'm part of any archives

Love being with all of you

Make that 14 now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />

I turned 44 August 4th.
Hey Calypso, nice avatar!! I have 3 fish-dudes who are betas.....and my lovebird IS named Calypso!! What a riot!!

Good taste you have....
Mugsy, my best belated friend Nancy used to go by the name of Mugsy. After your character. I saw your post on my birthday..... made me flip out... thought it was her...... then remembered no Nancy no more..... and tho' she was French and her relatives were from Canada!! Small world, huh?

Hedgie

Hi Hedgie; I was given this name ( back when I was in Grade 3)by my best friend we used to love watching the Bugs Bunny Cartoons and "Rocky and Mugsy" were two of the characters. I am very fortunate to still have her as a best friend some forty years later. I'm very sorry your friend is no longer with you, it is nice to know there was more than one Mugsy.

I'm 51. When I open a new game I act and feel like I'm still 8 years old, unwrapping a new toy!

I can't believe I'm 48. <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/pacify.gif" />

At the request of Mr Bill and Lela I'm bringing back this thread. Maybe others missed it too.

46 and happy to be!!!

Thanks for re-posting, Dee. I missed the original. I was really surprised that we had so much, how should I say,... experience? I'd like to see a histogram of the age distribution at Boomers.

I am 47 .

Think I'm one of the "mature" members; hehehe! <img border="0" alt="[winky]" title="" src="graemlins/winky.gif" />

Oh BTW ... Married to same woman for 54 years (our only marriage ... SO FAR ), 3 married children & 11 grandkids (none married yet!!)
************************************************
I too would like to see a histogram.
OR JUST ....
Males:-
1 to 10 = XXX1 (YY1%)
11 to 20 = XXX2 (YY2%)
21 to 30 = ..................

91 to 100 = .................
Over 100 = hahaha

Females:-
D i t t o

59 for one more month.

But my granddaughter turns 6 the day before I turn 60 so we are doing our "sixes" together!!

I'm 34 ... feel older because I have not had much sleep since my daughter was born in June.

Hi Y'all...I got in on this late, as usual..:-) I haven't read all the posts, but looks like I am one of the "older" ones on here! {68, and still counting] Sooo..my comment is..."it's not the years, it's the MILES that count!!" Glynn

Hello,
I would love to see a Histogram on the gender/age
stats of the great boomers. After reading a few
pages of posts and adding fuzzy logic to compute:
It would seem Boomers are about 78% Female
and the average age is about 56 years young.
If the counts were actual, would not the game
makers and such, be interested in the totals?
Oh ya, I am a 44 year old Drone Bee.

Thank You Witchen for making this available again.

A histogram would be great.

I am 65 years young and Lela, my young chick wife, who needs to be counted into this tally, is 5 years younger than me. I'm afraid to quote her age. Did I get around it OK?

We have had an adventure gaming website since 1997, and it has been our experience that most of our readers and those people that we are helping every day are over 50, and many are in their 60's and above, and a very high percentage of them are women.

Cheers,

Bill (Mr. Bill) and Lela

Hi Bill and Lela.....Just wanted to pop in here and clarify that MacDee recaptured this topic from the Gameboomers archives. It wasn't the Witchen; she who has no age.

Sorry MacDee and Witchen - see what happens to the mind when you turn 65. I asked MacDee to bring this thread back a whole day ago. <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/pacify.gif" />
