Mister VCS Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 I want to start a little contest: who is the youngest and the oldest classic-gamer on the AtariAge board?

Albert Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 I am 32, born in the last days of the 60s on December 27, 1969. I'm afraid I'm neither the youngest or oldest. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadtech Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 I will be 27 years old on April 7th, 2002. Incidentally, Victoria "Posh Spice" Adams will also be 27 on that very same day. It (Apr.7) is also Jackie Chan's B-Day, however, he is a bit older than 27. -deadtech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First computer: Timex Sinclair 1000 (ZX81), followed by Atari computers My mother still tells me I need to grow up and quit playing video games! I reply; "this is as grown-up as I get, get used to it!" I'll be playing my vids when I'm 60 (God willing)!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joystick Jolter Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 Hello from "The Old Man" The "Grandpa of the Boards" I have children the age of most of you. I'm going to be 56 on 5/9 born in 1946. Wow I didn't know they let things grow that old on this planet. I not only have played games since Day 1 of home video games, but during the 80's played them before most people even saw them. Now that's "FUN"!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
