Re: OT: How old are you ?
Too bad about Avalon Hill. I heard "they got bought, everyone got fired, and the purchaser stopped production on all titles".
I am left rooting for WotC... dang.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
45 - First computer was a Tandy custom built 8088. Spent $2700.00 one that one, my how times have changed. Got Might & Magic I and became forever hooked. Played Star Trek 25th Anniversry (I think), it was kinda cool romping about the galaxy, transporting people to and from various planets. My interest in gaming only grew, and with it a better and better understanding of the computer itself. Eventually switched careers to a PC Tech and now a Network Admin. Having fun can pay off.

Choplifter. Great game!
I'm 45, been playing computer wargames since, uh some training sim in CIC on my ship (USS Coontz, DDG-40, since scrapped  ) in the late 70's. Actual board wargames since before then, but I can't remember how long.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
yep, I just think its interesting as to the type of gamers that play SE4 and from where. It also sort of breaks the ice for newbies, the ages of us here is quite different compared to many other sights and games
