"UK Gamers * The average gaming age is now 23+.
US Gamers * The average game player is 35 years old and has been playing games for 12 years."

It seems to depend on where you are, and who you ask, but I suspect the average gamer is a bit older.

Granted the same article indicates game PLAYER median age as 37. Game purchaser to me is just who buys the game not who plays it.

Here's another one - I did not know there was such a cultural/national difference in gaming behavior, as the US must have a larger than average population of older gamers such as myself:

"The average age of players across the globe is mid to late 20s"

29 here, and loving it.
I think I was around 10 when I first discovered Dungeon Master on the Amiga. That would be around 1992? (yes, the game had already been out for a number of years at that point, but before the Internet word of mouth (and.. floppies from friends were pretty much the only way you'd hear about new games).

I'll be 40 soon, I first played Dungeon Master back in '88 on the Amiga when I was 16 and got obsessed by all other dungeon crawlers after that, I think I played most of the good ones: EOB, Captive, Black Crypt, etc. I still love this sort of game to this day: LoG satisfies my old school gaming heart, while also demonstrating how to make a beautiful modern game.

I have to say that I haven't been playing computer games much since 2000 or so, because the games just got so boring. I loved Dungeon Master, Land of Lore, Eye of the Beholder in their days but when was this style replaced with stupid action rpgs like Diablo, I lost my interest in gaming. Time to time I tried Bethesda games, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim but they are so buggy and plainly so far from what I expect from a computer game that I never played them longer than a week.

But Legend of Grimrock was love at first sight. This is the game I was dreaming of since Dungeon Master 2. It has everything I want from a computer game (and much more). I really hope that this means reincarnation of dungeon crawlers, I would definitely love to see more games like this...

Average player is 37 and has been playing for 12 years? That doesn't make any sense.

70 here and just enjoying this game to no end.

Began comp games back when I first retired. On an Intellevision.. never looked back. Anyone recall the awful audio in those days? I still have the thing and all the carts and the Nintendo, Lynx and a few others.

This game, Legend of Grimrock, brings back many fond memories and has engendered wonderful new ones.

Many thanks to Almost Human for a job well done.

34 here. Speaking of Intellivision, anybody here remember Treasure of Tarmin? This game reminds me a lot of that.
