I will be joining the 30+ club next year. Sometimes I get these crazy ideas that I am too old to play video games, so it puts me at ease to see so many CAGs around my age.

The upcoming BeMine 5 bundle looks quite good.

Indie Royale just dropped under $5. Just bought

Thanks, bought for 4.80.

Bought the new Indie Royale for 4.77, not bad.

34 here, first gaming was on TRS-80. "My" (i.e., my parents) first computer was a Commodore 64.

Cool, I remember my first console being a Famicom

I loved my C64!

I'm 26 and was sure I was one of the oldest (and brawniest) gents here. But the older crowd makes sense if you think about it. When I was a teenager I didn't have alot of fiscal responsibilities so I didn't really devote any time to being a cheapskate.

I've been a cheapass since I was around 10. I didn't have an allowance or anything like that, so I've been buying almost all my games and stuff through money I had to earn from jobs and helping neighbors or saving birthday money and stuff for years to buy new systems and PC components. BTW: ~20 here.

Damn kids these days, complaining about load times. Back in the day . . .

I wanted to play a game on the 'home computer' ( TI-994 w/ PEB)and my dad showed me how to do it. Take the cassette tape, put it into the tape player hooked up to the computer, hit play, come back in 30 minutes, flip it over, hit play again, come back in 30 minutes and start playing.

Didn't matter how crappy that game was, you're damn sure I played the hell out of it for a while before quitting. Had that sucker til my brother and I combined our life savings and bought a NES.

Look at it this way, while older gamers might have more disposable income just because you can pay $50-$60 for a new release doesn't mean you should! A lot of people have mentioned it before but waiting for deals is sort of what keeps me on track to actually play most of the games I buy. Right now I probably have enough games on my backlog to last me six months at least (hell there's still stuff I bought nearly two years ago I haven't played) so that counsels against any day one purchases. Only rare instances I do are when it's something like Torchlight 2 or Orcs Must Die 2 where I know it's going to be good and it's so cheap coupled with a preorder discount/bundle I don't really mind not getting at 75% off.

31 here. I still remember the Christmas where I asked dad for an NES and I opened the gift under the tree for... an Atari. Good times. Eventually I did get an NES and my first games were Renegade and Golf. With these experiences, it's a wonder I still love gaming.

I never got the GI Joe Aircraft carrier I asked for...

I'm not sure why there's a picture of Poshul here, but I approve.
