Any senior gamers out there

  • 34 years old and enjoying gaming as much as ever. Wouldn't class myself as senior, but compared to most gamers I suppose I am. Less and less of my mates are gamers but I still need gaming haha!

    GTA5 is probably the best game I have ever played, although a few months ago I did think that about Far Cry 3. Football Manager though is the most immersive and certainly my favourite of all time.

    Already got my pre-order in for PS4 too.

    I've also been programming games professionally for 16years. First job was at Psygnosis (remember them?!)

    Wasn't that the company that released Lemmings originally for the Amiga and then later for other platforms?

    Absolutely loved that game. :)

    Yes. Psygnosis were owned by Sony when I joined, and I was in one of the satellite studios (the main one was in Liverpool - it's still there, hosting Sony QA etc).

    Lemmings was a great game!

    im a simular age to you and i think the reason for the first highlight is probably the second, as i have always found that consoles tend to have a lot more kids on them, whereas PC gamers tend to be older (at least as a % on the games i play), dont know why, as i said it just is what i see
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    At the grand young age of 73yrs old, I love my gaming. I am into FPS, Cod, Moh, Crysis, any war games. When I first started with the PS1 I played Rachet & Clank, Spyro, Jak & Daxter, have all the games and still play them.
    Now considering buying the PS4. I have got out of the urgency to get the new games on Pre-order, you do not get the hours of play these days and I feel they are not worth paying £50, I now wait and buy used copies have saved myself a bomb.

    I love reading, playing scrabble on line, I am never bored.
    :rotfl:
    You live..You learn.:)
