Retro Gamers Age

[marurun]

Spacebooger, you and I are very close in age. We’re two of the old men on the forum.

32 - grew up with the NES erupting, genesis greatness in the mid '90s, playstation in college (then the dreamcast, with n64 mixed in) - then ps2 at age 22, etc, etc.

I'd argue being born in 1979 is probably one of the top years for nostaglic feelings around retro gaming given the growth of the industry as we grew up.

Heh I knew I must have replied 9 years ago.

Been really admiring Bone's epic necropost.

Same.

For the first few replies I thought I was losing my mind. I see BradTemple87's comment, completely overlook the obvious birthday year in their username, and have a mental record scratch over "I'm 24, and most of the retro games I know are around my age to early 30's."

Then I'm like, "BoringSupreez is is 17?! How did I not know that? Wait, we have how many teenagers on this board? Where did all these early-twenty-somethings come from?!"

Finally I noticed the years, flipped forward to the most recent post, and guffawed.

Thanks Bone. You are a treasure.
