50 plus and still going. This is my 70th year and thought of creating a group of pensioners, trouble is I did not want to be in a group on my own LOL. Good to see some silver hair out there.

Wowww... That would have made you 23-24 yrs old when the first home TV gaming console " Magnavox Odyssey" came out. I just turned 4 when they had a demo of it on the news where I lived. Then a few months later Atari released Pong and I was hooked on gaming . Most of the average age Gamer on this site and through out the world will never be able to fully understand the joy of the tech changes that you have seen and probably enjoyed. I kept an Atari 2600 with Missile Command in storage and let my step son try it 15 yrs ago and he said " This sucks! The controller is weird and the graphics are crap." For us back then it was state of the art (Hahaha). It is a privilage to be part of the original gaming generation and this is why I picked the name. It should have been your name. Here is a link to the history of "Odyssey"- http://americanhistory.si.edu/collection...ah_1302004
