Too old. I am on the verge of no longer being a coveted demographic. Not that I particularly care about that, but it would be nice to have the knees of an 18 or 25 year old again.

I'm 23, I grew up watching my father mess with DOS and early windows versions. I started networking computers in grade school with windows 95 (god was that a pain!) and since then I've always kinda loved older DOS and 90's computers. 😀

Ironically I can't seem to get windows 7 to network for the life of me. 🤣

Single and I have to say I like it that way, no obligations really. 😜

Check me out at Transcendental Airwaves on Youtube! Fast-food sucks!

38 at the time of this posting. Still feel young. Being a manchild seems to help.

2 years later from that post, I crossed into the 40's. Um... yea for me I guess. 😒

Still a kid at heart, always will be! 😎

My son will be 4 in October. He already just loves to sit on my lap while I play video games. I think we have another gamer geek in the works. He still does not "get" how to use a gamepad, but he does like to hit the button and shoot for me.

🤣 It would be nice to have just about anything of an 18 or 25 year old again... heck, I'd take 35 or 45 at this point!

Expect out of life, that which you put into it.

I'm as old as my nose, and a little older than my teeth. 🤣

I'll turn 39 in september, but I feel 50. I need to work out and get away from the Frankenlab more often.

Wow, and into retro PC gaming. You are crazy son! I mean that in a good way.

If I were into something that was 20-30 years retro when I was 14, then I'd be playing with vacuum tubes and punch cards. I soooo don't! 🤣

I am in my late 30's. Just trying to relive my very young days with computers (TRS-80/Apple IIc/Atari/Commodore/NES/Genesis/arcade games) and junior high/early high school days (386, 486, Pentium), but I missed a huge era of computing and gaming of the late 90's early 2000's era (i.e. 3Dfx games) ....once I got into University, I played very little PC games and just some console gaming with friends (i.e. PS1, N64, Sega, SNES, etc.)...now that I am much older, I have been revisiting all eras of computing and have learned a lot more about the late 90's to early 2000's era I missed out on. I think I am in this for life now...it's very hard picturing myself as an old man playing PC games 🤣 but I am sure I will have a stash of retro PC stuff always, one way or another.

I do have the most affinity for older Sierra and Lucasarts games as those games represented the epitome of PC gaming for me...I guess it's typical for a retro PC gaming guy in his late 30's.

33 years old. Not surprisingly I love my 90's, but do occasionally let some later 80's or recent third millennium's pc stuff into my lair.

Just turned 29. I grew up with both a 5150 and a PCjr. My first real experience with a GUI came when my parents bought a 120mhz IBM Aptiva running Win95. I both loved and hated that computer. I played a ton of Doom, Sim City 2000, and Dark Forces on it. Lately I've gotten back into retro computers. Just bought a PackBell 386sx and a Gateway 2000 P5-75. I'm having a blast on those machines, it amost feels like 1995 again.

20. I used to collect old computers when I was younger and mess around with them, but life circumstances have changed and now I don't really have the time, space, or motivation for it. 🤣 I still love retrogaming though, and I play a lot of games through emulators such as DosBox.
