We old folks are out there, hiding in plain sight. Most here would be astonished if they knew how many of us there were. I started a old folks guild on WoW in 2007. Huge demand. My first video game was Pong in 1973, which I played on the 1st cabinet ever installed at MIT campus in Boston. I loved my Amiga 1000. Fairie Tale Adventure was my 1st RPG on that platform in 1988. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Faery_Tale_Adventure. Awesome game. Holy shit! I remember playing Faery Tale Adventure! Played the second one on PC as well, I believe! Awesome games!	Posted by Ashmyster#1656 on Jul 1, 2013, 5:09:58 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post

It's been a while since I felt young. I'm 36, my first console was Atari 2600 (slide switch model), my first computer was Tandy 1000hx DOS 2.11 (predates Windows, before a mouse or harddrive were standard equipment). If you got a joystick for a computer you had to calibrate it first. Then it still wasn't a guarantee it was right until you started playing. Keyboard was the the best way to play by a long shot at the time. There comes a time thief when jewels cease to sparkle, gold loses it's luster, throne room becomes a prison, and all that's left is a father's love for his child. - King Osric Last edited by DorenAlexander#7040 on Jul 1, 2013, 5:22:42 PM	Posted by DorenAlexander#7040 on Jul 1, 2013, 5:21:54 PM Quote this Post

He's a player like me, we met in Lineage 2 (I myself am not that old, but when I see those kids in the game/headphones section of stores, telling their parents what game is hot or which headphones to get for gamins, I feel old. They are half my size o.O) Last edited by Antistes#4850 on Jul 1, 2013, 6:59:29 PM	Posted by Antistes#4850 on Jul 1, 2013, 6:57:33 PM Quote this Post
