I just turned 29 a month ago, I'm married and have 2 lil girls, a 5yr old and a 9mo. old. I love playing video games but not a serious gamer given my other responsibilities. I don't like feeling like im an old dude playing games, but would feel better to know theres other guys my age playing with youngsters online and not feel like a total tool.

Silly question I know, but still worth asking.

I don't usually make a point of replying to the 'age' threads, because they make me feel old too. lol

But since I can relate to what you're saying, I figured I'd reply and let you know that your not the only 'geezer' on here. I'm 27, been a gamer all my life, and do consider myself a 'hardcore' or 'avid' gamer. I just don't think that I'd ever get too old for video games, and screw it if I do. I'll still be playing them.

Im 28 and you cant feel bad if you thinkn about it is our generation you know, we were there when the NES and such hit the market and were little kids at that time, so it only makes sense for us to still be playing seeing where we have watched games come from the nes to the xbox 360/ps3 era.

Ah dude, thanx guys, I mean I don't necessarely feel old, but with all my responsibilities like mortgage, wife, kids and career, well gaming takes a back seat. I started playing atari when it was on its whay out, then nintendo (first generation) then sega genesis, etc...... so I've been around gaming my whole life, but I guess Im not the only veteran here lol, and that makes me feel good.

Ancient?? WTF lol, that one hurt, lol

About to be 28. We kind of are the target demographic, being that we grew up with the nes and have disposable income to spend on games. But really, each year that passes I have less and less time to play b/c of more work and responsibilities. Gotta love corporate America. I'll probably be a gamer for a long time though. Also, I work with a lot of people 21-35 that play are become interested b/c of games like Guitar Hero. They are more closet case about it. Not sure why.

I am 25 married and I dont think you ever to old to play games unless it effects time you spend with your children and spouse.

But my question is I have been a gamer since the nes. I am now finding myself having a hard time getting excited about games anymore. It seems like in the 3d generation has not really changed in gameplay and alot of the games are alot alike to a certain extent. anybody else feel this way.

I am 24, turning 25 in just over a month. Still the proud owner of the following [working] systems: NES, SNES, Genesis, Gameboy, PS1, PS2, Wii, and Xbox 360. And I'd like to say the gaming is my anti-drug :-)

I'm 25 and I'll be 26 on September 28th. Don't feel like you're too old to play games. There is nothing wrong with it. I've been playing games since the original NES and I plan on playing games until I die or get bored of them.:P

as one of the others said, we are the target demographic for the big two at this point. We grew up with gaming and at this point, they're counting on us having jobs and extra money to spend. I remember the good old days of the Atari 2600 and playing the original Pitfall and Asteroids.

Hey guys, I turn 31 (ouch) next week. I love the 360 (hardware is crap though) and will be playing games for years to come. I have been alive to see and play every console ever invented. It looks like I'm the second oldest one to post...I'm sure glad I'm not as old as that geezer who is 32...man that would suck...:D

I'm 21, and the one thing I'll never forget is playing my old Atari 2600 when I was 3 on a 9" tv. God, times have changed. I was so pissed when my mom sold my Atari but then she gave me an NES, so all was forgiven. But I am a proud owner of a 360 and soon to be an owner of a Wii and PS3.

Good question.  I think this really shows how versatile the gaming crowd can be.  I am 24, married (no kids yet), and besides my full time job as an account exec for an advertising agency, I am also a youth pastor and a financial planner.  I squeeze my gaming in when I can, but I at least grab a few hours a week!
