I'm 51 and still playing. My Dad passed in 1998. I can only imagine if he was still around what kind of games I would have him hooked on! lol

Nice...70. what is the issue with the mouse? Too much wrist action causing pain? I still play with a mouse also. In fact, my keyboard is so worn out on the letters: S (forward), A (left), D (right), Left Shift (back), are shown anymore on the keyboard. A long time a go, I used to use the arrow keys, but switched to using these letters, because they are the "home" position on the keyboard when typing..I am 70 and since I retired several years ago my gaming time increased significantly. However, I have been going through a "burnout" phase lately. Some of this is related to to much mouse time and the rest is the games themselves.

Mouse time as in gaming to much. Not any affliction.
i am 27 and i got bad tennis elbow or was it golfers? Anyways my elbow has serious over work issues from computers and gaming so i know what you mean by too much mouse time lol
46 yrs old, and I game with my son, his friends and mine. I will not play games that require me to level up, waste of time game, is what I call them. I started with the original command and conquer, i still play forged alliance. been playing counter strike when im bored.
LOL the same with my son. I got him started on Orcs and Humans back in the 90's. I beat the crap out of him the first 2-3 times. Then he wanted to know my strategy on playing the game. Once I discussed with him what I do, all it took was 2-3 more times playing and he kicked my ass every single time (damn kids). Should have played against the wife LOL.One of the greatest days I've had recently was having my 10 year old beat the shit out of me on FIFA 16. It wasn't that long ago that I let him win....now...I get massacred.
When I was younger, my dad was diagnosed with "tennis elbow." However, he knew the truth, so he said he had "Ninetendo elbow."
Awful memories of those damn corners of the Atari CX40 joystick- cutting into the bones of my hands.
My first ever video game upgrade- was the Wico Joystick that replaced it.
I'm just 37 here and I feel like the majority of people I play with are in their teens to mid-twenties. I played MMOs like Final Fantasy XIV and World of Warcraft for years on end and quit completely just recently. I play PC games exclusively, but my kids play console games mostly. I've been playing Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain a lot recently and it's been great. It's probably the best stealth / espionage game I've ever played. When new seasons roll around I play Diablo 3 quite a bit. I'd say I game on average 2-3 hours per night 3 - 4 nights per week. I'll keep gaming as long as it holds my interest. So far I have way more games than I have time to play. I'm slowly working through my "queue", but the games I want to play are:
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
The Batman games (Arkham Asylum, City, and Origins)
Darksiders I/II
a bunch of others
I'm not so sure of that. I think mid 30's would be about the median age of members of this forum. It's been around since around 2000 when a lot of us were in high school and college. We all thought we would grow out of gaming by the time we had a family and were in our thirties. Boy were we wrong!
Just made me realize I was 23 when I joined hardforums. Man how time flies.
I am 49 years old and soon to be 50 and I build my own gaming PC's. I remember buying my first PC (HP 386SX) from Circuit City back in 91. I remember buying many games from Microprose (Gunship, F19 Stealthfighter, B-17 Flying Fortress, F-117 Stealth Fighter). There use to be many flight simulators back in the day and I spent many hours playing Gunship 2000. I tried to play Falcon 4.0 but the learning curve was high on that game. Then I played the Wing Commander series. Before the PC I remember playing Pong then moving up to the Atari 2600 and then to the Mattel Intellivision. Now I mostly play BF4 online and I just started playing Fallout 4. I just had to mention Red Baron one of favorites right next to Gunship 2000.
