| quote: Originally posted by Mike the Nuke on 12-06-2000 09:52 PM I'm 45 and am retire form the U.S. NAVY. My wife is slightly youger (still in her 30's). My daughters, who also play the game with us (Hot SEat Mode only) are in their teens (High School, 16 and 18 espectively). My son who also plays in teh Hot Seat games is 13. His friend who also plays in our Hot Seat games is about 15 (Freshman in High School I think). ... So there you have it. Drag Racing fans can and will play Civ games too! I also owned and played ATARI 2600 games, ATARI 800 Computer games, and PC games (8088 cpu types). Our family enjoys a good game of quality and entertainment value. AI's are of little interest to us. In fact, those are the first civilizations we attack and beat the crap out of in our Hot Seat games! Then we get serious amongst ourselves. ... I also play 'Rock Guitar' and own a 1976 Gibson Les Paul Custom. I grew up on Creedance Clearwater Revival, Jimi Hendrix, the Stones, Santana, Zepplin, The Beattles and Neil Young. I also listen to Montrose, and lots of Van Halen. I enjoy playing many of the Van Halen tunes, Hendrix, Montrose, Black Sabbath, DIO, Deep Purple, Aerosmith, Lynard Skynerd, Neil Young, Creedance, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Johnson, Eric Clapton, Spin Doctors, The Smitherines, Joe Satriani, Tom Petty, etc, etc (I think you get the idea). In other words...computers and games (of nearly all types) are not "just for nerds" anymore (Ha Ha) or "kids" either. ... |
Our musical tastes are pretty much the same. Montrose! Mike, as if the kids on this site needed any further confirmation that we're geezers.

| quote: Originally posted by JasonL on 12-07-2000 11:02 AM I'm in the same age group as Mike (48), but we adopted our kids relatively late in life, they're ages 8 and 5, so we're not quite at the joint gaming stage with them, although the 8-year-old is starting to get into chess, which is nice. What really gets me in Mike's post is that Les Paul Custom. Man, talk about green with envy. Our musical tastes are pretty much the same. Montrose! Mike, as if the kids on this site needed any further confirmation that we're geezers. |

| quote: What has imagination got to do with the enjoyment of playing startegy games against humans. I don't consider myself as 'wide open', but I'm not an introvert either. I work in the 'real world' not the imaginary one. People make the 'world go around' as far as society goes, not individual games. I find it more enjoyable to compete against humans in strategy situations. I think I'll leave it at that. I really don't what to step down to you and be inflamatory. |
