Gaming, When I’m 64
Submitted by Richard Windsor on August 15, 2006 – 10:52 pm28 Comments
In a little over a month I will turn 29 years old, and as I was thinking about how close I am to the dreaded 30, I wondered if the first generation of gamers will still be playing games in the future. Will we still be playing video games when we are 50, 60 or even 80 years old? Will retirement homes around the world have to install Xbox

i think we’re going to be there someday. although i think that the older folk will want simpler games…not up-up-kick-kick-left-right-down combos to make those arthitic fingers work
I don’t understand the bit about games getting harder. I’m 39. As far as I’m concerned games are much easier these days. So long as it holds my interest I’ll finish the game and prefer the harder difficulty settings. I always play Halo on Legendary. But back in the days of the Spectrum etc some games drove me mad because I couldn’t finish them and wanted to.
ya .. I caught that comment too (first generation gamers). I’m 43, and consider myself
the first generation. From the C=64, Amiga, Colecovision, NES, SNES, N64, 386, 486, Pentium 1/2/3/ and 4.
Was online witha 300 baud modem and still love
PC multiplayer .. BF2 is the latest for me.
I saw and used the developement of home consoles
and home PC’s and don’t see me slowing down
(cause cable TV sucks !)
