I'm afraid not, certainly would have remembered meeting another girl who played, seeing as that NEVER happens

Guess it's just shows my lack of originality in nickname-choosing !

I'm 24, from Italy...

My first game was, back in 1994, Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers

Ah, such, such were the joys...

Hey, i think it's possible for people of that age to play video games. I mean, there are still people who are in there 50s-60s who still go to metal festivals. What's wrong with people who are 68-72 years old playing adventure games (or any games for that matter)? It's very rare for people of that age to play video games and that's pretty cool lol. It would kick ass if my grandma played video games hah hah.

Hehehehe...
Why don't you go pay a visit to another adventure forum, called Gameboomers and ask the posters there how old they are? Brace yourself, cause I bet you're too young to know what a babyboomer is.

I'm 39, and I've been playing adventure games since 1984 or so. All that time I have had to explain to people what adventure games were, and got the typical responses like: "So you don't have to shoot anything?" I've met maybe five people who like adventure games personally. We're a niche market, and that will always be so.

Wow you're about my age. We're the ancient ones! I never stopped playing, however. Always liked them

Mine does, when I can get her too. (I was surprised when she liked Uru.) She's older than the "ridiculous" age of 72. Come on, the old statement "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" isn't true. It differs from person to person.

When I reach my old ages, I'm going to still be playing adventure games. Even if I have to snap at an annoying nurse to hurry up and read the stupid descriptions so that I can figure out what to do. (That would be an interesting situation... idea! Muhahaha...)

[autowil]

I'm 28 this year.. And adventure game is not popular in my country.. Singapore.. Have play this since 13 years old when my first pc come on 1994. My first game is Indiana Jones and Fate of Atlantis.. and since that, have love Adventure game till now..

[skeeter_93]

My Dad is nearly in his 60's and plays adventure games. It's cool because I can borrow his games for free ;o) Hey, it was Dad who showed me how to play adventure games when I was young....he still reminds me and my brother of the time he worked out how to get the guy out of jail in MI after we'd given up weeks before!

Nice. My family are boring and would never play video games (apart from my sister but nothing beyond 'different'). They're too afraid to try anything different, or they just don't 'get' them or see the point in them. I think they (my mum and dad) don't like the idea of getting hooked and spending hours on them. Any 'weird' games i play (like Portal recently) and the likes of my sister says things like: 'i don't like that game it's weird'. Not that she's ever played it though.

Damn right. The same thing applies to me liking rock or metal music. I'm gonna keep listening to 'em (and playing video games) even when i'm an old codger. My dad used to like the same music, but said to me and my sister that when you reach a certain age you 'grow out of it'. That's not strictly true, i mean, if you're that compasionate about something, like music, art, video games etc. then you'll always love them. That's been proven here already and like i mentioned above about 50-60 year olds still going to metal festivals.

32 years old and I've been playing adventure games since 1989 when I discovered Zak McKracken. I've been hooked ever since.

Apologies for going OT.
Didn't happen to me. I've always like alternative rock and listen to a radio station that constantly plays new music ( http://www.edge.ca/ ). Current favorites:
Raconteurs - Salute your Solution
Queens of the Stone Age - make it wit chu
Serj Tankian - Empty Walls

I'm 19. In the early-mid 90's my family bought a Packard Bell Legend 760 Supreme. (just went into the basement to check actually) The computer came with several games, our favorite was King's Quest 5. So I pretty much grew up playing adventure games.
