30s are rookie numbers. I'm 52 and still game regularly. I started out playing pong clones in about 1975 hooked up to my tv. I played a lot of zx spectrum games in the 80s, failed my degree in the early 90s because I spent far far far too long playing civ1 on my Amiga. Etc etc.

Remember when Lemmings finally made it to PC and all us people who had Amigas were like, "I know, right?"

Fellow Amiga civ veteran, eh?

I blew most of my youth, and a chunk of my degree, on football manager too.

I regret nothing.
