29yr male from colorado here. LIke most others, I started with Bard's Tale on the Commodore 128! And it's probably still my favorite. Played a couple of the zorks, icluding the text based one as well as the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy text game. Most recently were the M&M 6-8 ( 8 was a big disappointment). Discovered W&W by the box cover and just had to get it.
Just a theory on the age thing, and I may be wrong so no offense to anyone, but it seems maybe the younger generations are more into the high graphics and gore than game content, story line and critical thinking of most crpg's. just a thought.
