Old enough to have seen the heyday of Civ3, Civ2 *and* Civ1... but just barely.

81 Eclectic? That's respectable! My grandfather is 83, alive and kicking, but there is no way he would even think about using a computer!
I'm 29 btw. I've been playing civ since 1992.

I have played civ, but I don't know how long ago it was. It wasn't new, when I had it. Played Civ2 when it came, then Civ3.

Wow this is a great thread. I've been in the online gaming actively for over 5 years now, playing a variety of games, starting in '97 with C&C:Red Alert. Most players were around the 20's in that game. Of course some other aged players as well. The oldest players i met there were like 40-50. Looking at the poll here there are a lot of people in that category.
When i was done with C&C i played utopia, a text based online game. The average age there according to the supervisor was about 29. In my kingdom (25 people) about the half were around 30. And we were very competetive and one of the best teams out there; a few times even the best. I met way more "older" people there than in C&C. One of my best friends from that game was married and had 2 little kids. His wife once got so mad at him playing games all the time they nearly divorced. Eventually she figured out it's better to have him at home all day playing games where she can look over his shoulder, than him being outdoors in bars and god knows where else.
From that game i went to UT:Tactical Operations, a FPS quite similar to CounterStrike, where there are very few old aged players. Of course there are some, but most players are around or under 20.
Now reading this thread i am amazed and very delighted to see players with about the same age as my parents. Eclectic99, if i am blessed to get to the age you're at i still hope to be able to play games.
Most people i know at that age don't even know how to use a computer or even how to turn one on. 
I've played civ1 from about the start; somewhere in '92 iirc. And overall still my favourite. I am only 23 btw.

I just turned 27, and find myself in the middle of the nearly perfect bell-curve that we have at this moment.

I've managed to get several of my friends (around that age) to play civ 3. Of course, they aren't nearly as good as me (
) but it's nice to play against people that you know.widdowmaker
