Hi Leonard,

 

I've bought your book, Version 2 I believe, great stuff! It ends with the upcoming battle between Sony and Sega. Please give me a link to your latest, I'd love to have it.

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.

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.

Apparently I'm about average in age. I'm 33.

 

First console: Coleco Telstar Pong (still have it!)

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)!!!

[jahfish]

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"!!!
