eric_ruck Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 Ah, what the heck. I won't be the youngest or oldest by any means, more or less dead on average. Demographics: 33, married with 3 kids (19 month old triplets). I got a Video Pinball (which I still have) in 1980-81-ish, and an Atari 400 in 1982. Sad fact: I went to the dump to get rid of a broken monitor today and almost came home with a Laser 128 Apple compatible that someone threw out, but my wife wouldn't let me in the car with it.

Atariman Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 dang! I didn't think that atari fans got any younger than I am! I was born 05/03/84! As for my first system, it's the Atari 2600! I actually found the original payment slip for it and found that my family has had the 2600 since I was about a month old. So I learned how to repair my atari 2600 when I was pretty young seeing on as how some of the controllers were starting to act up when I was about 8. I actually didn't have any other system until about 1997 when I purchased the Atari Jaguar. Then I got an Atari Lynx, and I don't remember where I went from there. Maybe the 5200?

Flojomojo Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I want to start a little contest: who is the youngest and the oldest classic-gamer on the AtariAge board? I think i am the typical classic gamer, because i am 30 (born on 14.august 1971) What is your birthday? These old threads are crazy! Born in 1971 is 47, not 30! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloBoy Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I'm currently 29 and started posting here when I was 13, needless to say I've come a long way from being an annoying teen who used emoticons way too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamemoose Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Is this like "BrainAge" but only for Atari? (Apologies if this joke was taken) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoshiChiri Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 In 2 days, I'll be 36. And this is pretty much the only place I visit online where that doesn't make me old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
