Read the very same thing.
You never get too old for gaming. In fact, if I live long enough to end up in a home I'll probably be playing Pac-Man. When I get so senile that I can't get through the first level anymore, then I know it will be time to pack it in.
But then again, I will probably have forgot the next day, so I'll be playing Pac-Man until I die.

Re: When are you too old to play games?
At 36 i enjoy playing games as much as when i was 12. However, now i can finish games without cheats which i just couldn't do that young. I can't walk past Game or Gamestation without going in to have a look. Mrs T goes mental when i get a new game moaning about how much time i spend on it.
I do have a disc with games from years ago i.e. Kung Fu Master, Hyper Sports, Ghosts and Goblins, Green Beret and about 300 other games, still enjoy them as much as the new ones.

Re: When are you too old to play games?
When kids are kicking your arse on games you're officially too old.

Re: When are you too old to play games?
Despite what I posted about never being too old to play games. I don't really find much fun in them anymore.
I've had two PS2s (sold the first one cos I couldn't be arsed) and never play this one. I've got no intention of buying one of the new generation ones either.
I quite enjoyed playing some PC games which required some concentration, stuff like Homeworld, Deus Ex and Civ III, but it's too old to handle the newer titles and I'm not arsed enough to upgrade it.
The last time I really gave a shit was just after I bought my first playstation, don't know what changed, me or the games? Maybe both..

When you have to read the manual before playing.
