How old are Dom2 players?

I am surprised how old people play Dom II. I have played a lot of Warcraft, cs, etc. popular games, and in those games I am quite old, but here i really feel myself young.

It shouldn't be a huge surprise. Dominions II has a somewhat oldschool feel to it: It doesn't have those super 3D graphics that every new game MUST have in order to sell. It's not made as a mass market game, and we old people remember the days when games were works of art, and value that artistic integrity: Modern shovelware gaming does not impress us.

I'm playing with a bunch of frens of mine and we are oldies... 37, 37, 39, 43 and 41.

I hardly see any of them in the forum, unless of course they are using a different nickname. Well, something to add to the stats.. heh heh

I'm 50 something ... I forget.
What was the question?
Oh well, time for my nap.

I am only 22 and remember Dungeon Master

Seems something is wrong with my upbringing

Since we're reflecting on past strategy gaming experiences, one can guesstimate my age by what I remember playing "back in the days":

- Fortress of the Witch King
- War of the Lance
- Sword of Aragorn
- Xyphus
- Sword of Fargoal

and of course: Master of Magic!

If someone wants to try Master of Magic, it is available from www.the-underdogs.org as abandonware...

For those who don't know about it: Civilization-like interface, great deal of nice spells. Many bugs and many of them exploitable. It was never meant to be played in multiplayer, so the balance was thrown away and designers instead went for good gaming experience...

It has some things Dom-fans won't like, but it has great innovations too! And it is good for a few hours' game that does not need real thought to go into it.
