average age

[daisy]

47 and my first serious contact with wargaming was ADGs World in Flames, later playing it with Days of Decision.

Still got it set up in the back room. I still remember the day the duel 5 1/4" floppy came out and we thought this was the best thing since sliced bread. Also remember a salesman saying that we would never fill up a 20Gb hard drive.

22 here. When it comes to games I cut my teeth on games like close combat, Swat 2, age of empires and eventually EU2.

Your 200mb drive is fine! You can hold many programs and still have plenty of room left over.

I'm only 20 and I remember hearing that. Ah, I remember using Dos and the big floppies. Mechwarrior 1 anyone?

Doom, Quake, Wolf3D...ah classics.
After that? Return Fire II...Red Alert..then many more...

I don't think I started HoI2 until 2002-ish or when it came out. It was relatively new when I bought it. Funny thing, I went to EB Games looking for Axis and Allies. They said, we don't have that, but you might be interested in this. *Shows me to HoI2*. It is hard to learn, which is why we sell few copies. But once you do, you will never be able to let go of it.

And I am still playing it Glad he showed me that game!

EDITED - My math was off

Current average is: 28.593 as of Erlend.

# of posted ages = 251
Total = 7177

Youngest = 13 (two of them)
Oldest = 66

Grouping:
10s = 56
20s = 102
30s = 49
40s = 30
50s = 11
60s = 3

It is easy to confuse God, the Law and the Wife.

Some may even say they are one in the same.

Current average is: 28.553 as of Erlend.

Youngest = 13 (two of them)
Oldest = 66

Grouping:
10s = 56
20s = 104
30s = 41
40s = 30
50s = 11
60s = 3

Your figures are now wrong as yesterday when I posted I was 39, today I am 40!

32 here. I've been away for a few days, so at the risk of resurrecting a long dead conversation:

on the subject of "not old enough to be drinking"; I remember when I was in the USA when I was 21, I met a girl there who was 19 at the time. She was very amazed by the fact our laws allow dirnking at 16, but we can't drive a car untill 18 years old (16 in the USA). I remeber when she introduced me to her grandmother and told her about this fact, she uttered the memorable quote: "Ah, what a great thing; at lreast they can get the drinking over with BEFORE they start driving then!".
