How Old Are You?
« on: February 27, 2004, 03:10:27 pm »
A little out of toipic but I was just wondering how old typical MAMERs are around here. My hunch is that most are between 30 and 40...  ;D

In about a month I move to the next higher age bracket.  

I better enter now while I am still younger!  ;D

Bottom end of 32-38...
One word of warning when building a Mame cabinet, hook up the controls LAST!!!  If you don't, it will probably take you 3 - 6 additional months to finish the cabinet.  -JustMichael

58 days away from being able to legaly drink!
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

I'm 19, grew up in the 16-bit "gold-era" games! At least for me! :P

It's funny that in my country you have to be 16 to enter arcades or to play them! I was playing them at 13! :P

Kinda risky but very cool indeed!

24.  

But since I was like 4 my parents had to avoid going anywhere with an arcade machine or pinball machine because I ALWAYS wanted to play them.. I spent time on classics from a very young age..   centipede, donkey Kong, Burgertime, Food Fight, Pac Man, Ms Pac Man, Galaga. Especially Baby-Pac Man, They had one of those at a movie theater in Waterbury, CT.  I wish I had one :-D

Then of course when I got older I spent a lot of time on the fighters and racers so.. I love them all..

26.  My brothers, who are 10 and 11 years older than me, used to take me to the arcade / pool hall with them to help them pick up girls ("Oh, what a cute little kid!"), so I've been playing games since I was pretty young.  I remember standing on a milk crate to play Black Knight pinball, and spending lots of time on Ms. Pac-Man, Centipede, Joust, Paperboy, and Gladiator.
