Nobody would answer that one accurately, so there would need to be visual verification and NOBODY wants to see that (I hope....)

I think your profile display for everyone should show your age in terms of your year of birth before PONG or after PONG

kinda like before candy bc?

im an old timer clockin in at 18.  but dont let that fool you im wise beyond my years yet immature in a dashing sort of way.  make sense so far?  good.

i like polls since thats where the hot girls are.

wait how is 42 the answer to everything?  i know from the movie but i dont get it? ;)and is it really everything?  like how old will you be in next year or what number comes after 41?  or the age i will die at or how about the amount of times people will call me crazy in this topic? ;)

39 here.

Interesting that 50% of pollers are 32-39. I didn't expect such a tight grouping. And I also expected a lot more Pong and Space Invaders geezers in here.

ahhh yes, i remember those days.  sneaking a dollar from the 'rents dresser, running down to the liquor store, buying a pack of cards at $.40 and then playing some galaga

35 here  :)

I remember going into a Arcade and playing Karate Champ and then going back some time later to play again only to see this 'Cartoon' game next to it Dragon's Lair.

I was like WOW  :o  And it has remained in my mind ever since. Space Ace is what I love (and own) But I love the old '85 Atari games  :applaud:

The 80's is what it's all about.....

Oh yeah?  I remember when you played "Karate Champ" by trying to kick the other guy in the oysters to make him miss the ball with his paddle.   :laugh2:

(I also thought DL and SA was amazing...I knew a guy who had a DL in his house. Used to play it for hours while drinking flavored brandy on ice.....wasn't really my drink, but it was his and he had the DL machine :) )

I'm old enough to remember playing the circus game (obviously the mind is going cuz I can't remember the name of the game...it was like circus atari) and thinking Dragster was one of the coolest games ever.

Mentally I'm around 13...which is why I get along with the kids so well...and speaking of kids...it made me happy to hear my childrens friend begging me to hook up the Atari 2600....ahhh those were the days.

Oh yeah...I'm 38.

First game was the fake wood finish control panel pong game in my Uncle's basement. He had a honking huge wood ladden B&W TV and I played there for HOURS.

Still have Tron and Galaga as my all-time favorite uprights though.

Oooo Oooo and A-Team/Knight Rider. Was a huge fan. So geeked they're putting them back on cable. Although, I did watch some KR a few days ago, and man was it cheeeeezy. How did the Hof survive that I'll never know.
