Poll of the Day > Do you play video games older than you?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I was born before the games, so no.

Born in '83. Regularly play the 2600, Intellivision, and ColecoVision... Occasionally hit up the 5200, Odyssey 2, Vectrex, Channel F, and even the original Odyssey. Lots of great stuff on classic computers as well.

I play way more pre-1983 games than post-2007(-ish?) games, now that I think about it.

Pong is probably the only game I've played that's older than me.

I was born in July of 1980, so it's tough to come across games older than me that are actually fun still.

Yeah, I was in school already before the first game systems came out. Played the Atari at a local boys club for instance. I have not even played games made within a decade of my birth in 30 years to be hones.

I did try playing the original bards tales and Wizardry games though not that long ago, which was close to within a decade at least (early 80's I think).

Pre-70's I don't even think they had punch card computer games, at least I certainly didn't know about em.

Born in 2000 and I mostly play video games that are older than me. Nearly all of my favorites came out before I did.

I was born in 1987....so not many great ones.

I'll occasionally play games like the original Mario Bros, but I prefer Mario Bros 3 and World.

I clearly prefer SNES over NES, so I don't think I'll ever like a game older than me over a game younger than me...

Why are you still here?

I wont play anything older than NES games, which came out when I was around 10 or 11. So nope.

I have, but I don't do it nearly enough say that I do it.

Sometimes. The earliest system i actually like to play is NES. I'm 32 so most of the good, early NES games were either released right before or right after i was born.

I didnt know how to answer this poll. This specificially asked if I played games older than me, not if I play retro games or not.
I was born in 89 but I rarely play anything older than me. I mostly play 16-bit gen and beyond though. I dont play current games very often, I mostly concentrate on handhelds and 5th and 6th gen consoles.

I'm guessing you would pick rarely, then. I guess...

Rarely. I'm quite old (born in 1977), so there are only a relative handful of games from before I was born. I've played games older than me, but most of gaming happened while I was alive.
