Average age for this game?

spidair · 11-29-07, 02:16 AM

What is the average age for playing SH4 (or sub games overall? Due to the nature of the game, (Let face it, it's slow at times, it happens nothing on long streches and so on...), I would think that the "MacDonalds" generation would stay clear from this kind of game. They usually like fast action paced games with little or no waiting at all, so I would guess an average age of 20-25 and up?

Or is it a game that younger folks likes too?

And what about gender? Is it a male or female game? (I would say male coz of its nature, but hey, I been wrong before!!)

I'm 40 years old and male and since I'm NOT in the MacDonalds generation I like the kind of games you have to use your brain to more things than reloading my gun... like sims and strategy games.

So what about YOU?

Yuor age and gender please!

Male, 27.

I feel like some kind of a youngster here

My first computer (commodore Vic20) had 3,5 kB RAM and no graphics at all, only text mode. But the text was in 8 colours!!!
Maybe that is why I prefer strategies and simulations than those nice, shiny and flashy action games.

Sad but true, although there's plenty of SH players in our age bracket.

Damn straight! I'm not the worst-looking 23-year-old, and here I am still being single (and looking)

Clearly it's all your fault

Oh man, fire up the wayback machine! I had a Vic20 (with the cassette drive), C64 (with the separate 5.25" floppy drive the size of a toaster oven), Amiga 500 (with the plug-in SCSI HD) ah Commodore computers, those were the days!

Oh, and I'm a 36 year-old subsimmer. (and nostalgic computer geek)

I had a TRS Model 1 'archived' in my parents attic. Along with the cassete tape 'drive' and several hand coded basic programs I had written.

They threw the damn thing out

I was hoping it would be worth something someday... oh well.

Male, and I'm 31.

Looks like I'm the only one in the thirties here, so far.
