Started gaming in 1989 when I got an NES for Christmas with Mega Man 3 (benefits of dad owning a pawn shop at the time).
Where has the time gone. All I know is, when you grow up playing the classics, you develop a certain appreciation for Nintendo game design that a lot of modern gamers simply don’t exhibit. Though, it does seem the Switch is changing that. Wii did nothing to convince younger gamers there is merit to a more pure, gameplay focused approach. Thankfully, Switch is doing it right this time.
Psalms 22:16 (1,000 yrs before Christ)
They pierced My hands and feet

He was pierced for our transgressions
I'm not sure most teens even use message boards anymore, I feel like social media took over all that. And I feel so, so bad for kids because of that. Almost no one deserves social media.
Point is, I assume everyone here who has posted more than a couple of times and knows how to forum is an adult.
I think the article on the front page "what was your first Nintendo console" was quite telling and quite surprising really. That poll suggested that most of the readers of NL started with the NES or SNES...

We usually play Mario Kart on Saturdays at 830 pm UK time, I believe we'll be playing Friday at the same time as well to celebrate the new tracks.
I'm pretty sure I wrote something here about 75 pages ago, but anyway...
I'm 52 and have been into gaming since Space Invaders. I mostly play PC, boardgames and Switch. I dabble in all the genres but my favorites are RPGs, strategy, 4X and shmups. I'm also (semi) dedicated to Ring Fit Adventure.

Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.
I'm so old, I've probably already replied to this thread. Just kidding, I'm going to be 60 this year. The cool part, I'm totally retired and can play games as long as I want, I can stay up as late as I want, and I can buy whatever I want. That is pretty cool. But it took a while to get here. Anywho, happy gaming!.
38 yrs old switch gamer, here! I find it funny when other adults act like gaming is wholly for children. Youre telling me games like gtfo, bayonetta, gta, etc, were all created with young children in mind? C'mon. Oh, as if dressing up as your favorite athlete is "adulting".
