53 here, anyone here remember when video cards were 2d only and you had to buy a separate 3d accelerator? The first pc I built had a video card with 4 Meg's of RAM and a separate 3d accelerator with 8 Meg's of ram, still have my old voodoo II sitting on my desk.

I can remember when there was no such thing as a personal home computer.

[CrainBramp]

51 ...

Got a Vic20 when I was 11, and didn't have any games. Pulled out "Learning with Basic" and built my own Space Invaders clone using Peek and Poke to directly put ASCII on the screen.

Own my own Cloud Hosting company and still game every day, and even some YouTube Let's Plays, although it's harder and harder to find time to edit the videos (sigh).

EDITOh snap! I just noticed I could've chosen the lower bracket! For the record I want everyone to know that I am DEFINITELY 40-50 years old and not 50-60 years old!

Argh...I believe I just failed a math word problem. I'm going to need to wait like at least a year to do the poll again correctly now.

Bah!

Oh, and 53 here for the record.

The first computer game I owned was Rescue at Rigel which needed to be loaded off of audio cassete tape (it came JUST before Morloc's Tower)

The first computer game I played was Lunar Lander (from like 1969) on a DEC minicomputer.

I guess you have to make a judgement call. At 30, do you identify more as someone in their 20s or 30s?

I'm 39 in 16 days so interesting poll. Maybe it's a sign that regular internet bulletin boards are only for us old folks.

My first computer was an absolute classic:

[Ghostlight]

Mine was a ZX80, then a ZX81 and only then a Spectrum.

I am 52 btw

Still trying to convince my son (14) to play this with me. But, sorry TFP, if it isn't Fortnight, he's not interested.

 

[Ornias]

I had a TRS-80. The day I upgraded to a cassette drive so I didn't have to type in the programs every time was sweet.
