    lol should be interesting though!

    i think gaming will be in our lives and culture for ever more. i mean nobody will tell me at 50 odd years of age stop gaming its for kids like!

    btw gaming keeps the mind active which helps prolong alzheimers etc well thats what i have been told lol

    Mmm i would say I will be too old when my fingers are crippled with arthritis. :pac:

    Although confident that by then the technology will be in place for controling a game with just my mind.

    I just hit my 30's even when I am not a gamer.

    I've been gaming on my PC since I was a wee lad so I will probably tick all of the options when I am old enough.

    I'm 23, but I probably act like a 15 year old as a gamer.

    More or less 25 but been gaming since before primary school. So thats roughly 20 years. Being one of the unemployed masses, it is the probably the only thing keeping my mind active at the minute so god bless it.

    23 and been a gamer for near enough the last twenty years so expect to be one for the next twenty years and beyond assuming they'll still make them for PC.

    PC gaming has been here 20 years and certainly will be here another 20 years, maybe just under a different format :pac:

    I'm a month away from picking the 35-40 :o

    Poll is wrong, should be 15-18, 19-21, as it stands someone aged 18 could pick either 15-18 or 18-21, same for ages 21, 25, 30 and 35

    I'm bang on the "average" and have been playing games (on and off) since I first played Power Blaster on my friend's Vic-20 in 1983. Can't see myself giving up anytime soon but with our first due on sept 14th I can see my gaming time gatting cut greatly (until the child can pick up a controller that is;)).
