Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">The other big forum polled the age. It started about 35 then dropped to 29. Still pretty good for a game. Both games seem to reflect whats a higher average age than usually associated with games. Must be the strategy emphasis?

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Sure, the strategy emphasis has to be a part of it. Another part is the length of time it takes to learn the game. Most kids just don't have the patience. Then after finally gaining the expertise necessary to beat the AI, you log on to PBW and find out that you're just a weenie in that realm. No wonder there are gray heads in this place. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Not enought patience...hah! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif I just turned 17 on April 27. And I've been playing SEIV for about 3 years...and SE3 before that...and SE2 before that!!

But yeah, most kids wouldn't like this game. They'd have to actually think! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yes I would not say the strategy part shuts out younger people. It just makes the few who can really handle it into a rare commodity. Most of the ones I know are more into "reaction" games that are alittle more what I call "joystick" (where they totally kick my tail). Its the long-thinking strategy games where I can get even with them (hopefully due more to my skill than the fact that they tend to wander)

I was reading through this today and noticed a Belated (now anyway Lol) Birthday message to me Way back in 2002 by dogscoff. Lol, thought i'd say thanks http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Even if it is almost 2 years late http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I'll be 19 in 6 days. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

RD: 18 is worth looking forward to. We'll have to have another birthday celebration in September (we're only 5 days apart). Anyone else still not fully recovered from the great 2002 Tigg-scoff birthday bash?

There are still certain shades of green that trigger hallucinogenic flashbacks of giant squid and champagne-squirting antipodean popstresses in me...

EDIT: Just reviewing this thread- I miss GrowlTigga http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I don't think any of us will ever recover from that, at least not mentally http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif 18 is going to be a bit weird as i don't drink alcohol and i don't plan to drive for a while so a lot of the novelty is worn off...

Of course if we go out to celebrate it means i can buy my friends drinks http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif
