While your on the PC does anyone having there Dad next to them going, "oh let me go on the PC, I need to defeat Genghis Kahn on Ages of the Empires". Or is your dear old nan shooting the Naboo Starships on Starwars starfighter on your PS2.

I know i have this problem, my Dad is addicted to Ages of Empires II. The game he got me for Christmas. I think he's going in a mental state as it's at my friends at the moment.

Did you know that it's a commen fact that the average game buyer is something like 25. It's true.

But the weirdest thing I've seen is this 78 year old lady playing on her grandsons Dreamcast. I found that so funny, she was quite good at it as well, and the thing that cracked me up was when she said. "I dont want to playonline as I feel i'm spoiling the youngsters fun."
Can you belive that, theres millions of people that go online, idont this one AOP on the net wont make a different.

How do you feel towards this subject, does your Mum shoot Zombies with a massive shotgun on Resiedent Evil when you go to bed. Or would you hate to see old people online.

Just feel free to leave a message. :)

There should be a game for old people.
It should be like you site in old penison home all day. And you get a bored level. The more bored you get the more points you loose.

LOL :)

My dad played Sega Bass Fishing and Grand Prix 3, but older people don't usually - it'd make a good Television program though - A gameshow for Senior citizens, where they compete in gaming. Hmm.
