What is age to one who is immortal, or is that immoral?

Name: Charlie aka Cool Jerk

Age: Over half a century (52)

Loc: Sunny California, USA

Occupation: Bindery worker. I am the one in print shops that cut, fold, staple and mutilate the finished products.

Hobbies: Dungeon crawler. I play games. Specifically RPG & some Strategy games. Games like:

I have played my first online multiplayer game with DAoC. I find I perfer creating and controlling the development and playing of all characters in my party. If DAoC were like Wizardry I would still be playing. I also feel that when a game is released it should be a finished product. If a patch is introduced it is to help with your computer being able to play the game to it's fullest potential, not tweek characters. What a slap in the face Mythic handed all those who had Rangers. That is unforgiveable. IMHO.

Hello, I'm Bill, Virginia Beach Va.. age 41. Chief Petty Officer in the United States Navy(19 year Vet). Love W8 though never played W7..weened on W1-4 on my old Commodore 64 way back when. Also liked the Might and Magic series.

Mr Creosote · 02-17-2002, 11:49 PM

Joe - aged 48, least I think, I am too friggin old to remember. From England. Despite having trouble remebering waht I ate for dinner today, I recall vividly playing "Colloosal Cave" on an Ibm mainframe in around 1974, played it for months, never finished it.
For me, Wiz 7 and Ultimate Underworld 1 were the best.
Am at Tryton in Wiz 8 and sort of enjoying it but it aint Wiz 7 - its prettier but lacks the charm, in some ways I have to confess a teenie weenie bit of disaapopintment, it lacks the deft scripting of the hand that created Brother T'sober, not complaining though, its a zillion times better than that Baldur's Gate crap, and for the first time ever I have a Bard, and he's my best characted, amazing.

Hi all,
i registered as soon as i saw this thread, so that i can send a post of my own.
My name is Jaka (25 years old) i'm student of computer science and i mostly live in Ljubljana, capital city of Slovenija (Southern Europe).
And i think this is one great forum.

Elcid · 02-19-2002, 10:46 AM

Hi all!

Surprising to see the average age of all of you, considering that on many of the usual game-related pages the average age seems to be 14

Anyway, name's Robert, I am from Germany (yes, I got that game imported, damn expensive but worth it.) and I have seen many of you in the W&W-forum. I turned 30 a month ago.
I have been addicted to Computer games ever since I played "The Bard's Tale" on my old Commodore 64. Anything that bordered on roleplaying got my attention, including "Pirates!"... I have explored the Ultima and Wizardry series, played Dungeon Master on the Amiga and am playing Pen&Paper RPGs a lot, as well.
Latest games I have played include Gothic (very nice) and Wizards & Warriors (also very nice).
I am looking forward to some of those remake-projects. I guess you've heard about those plans of re-writing classic games like Ultima I or The Bard's Tale with up-to-date graphics, sound and gameplay? some of those may even become freeware! The developers are people working on the projects in their sparetime.
Right now I am fighting some game crash problems and do not have that much time to play, but as soon as I can I plan to share tales of my adventures with you.

See ya!

Mr. Rust · 02-19-2002, 03:12 PM

Hi all,

My name is Soeren.

Living in Munich/Germany for now 15 of my 36 years I'am married and have 3 kids ( 13 years, 6 years and 15 month ) so far.

Some of you may have already met me at Wizardry IV where I starr as Mr. Rust with Joachims Jihad.

At present I work as network engineer and sysadmin but in my past I've also done some hardware design ( mostly radia/radar ), made stunts and special effects, all kinds of PC Service and last but not least did some work as electrician.

While not working I like yachting, rafting, scuba diving, motorbiking, Role Playing and of course computer gaming.

Mr. Rust

Once again this posting has amazed me. It is just incredible to know how many ppl are out there that love CRPG's!

There were times when I thought I was weird [img]graemlins/arcadefreak.gif[/img] with my addiction to these types of games. And the age variation has just blown me away~!!~!!
I'm happy to be a part of this group and thank you all for your honest postings.....This forum ROCKS [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]

Rhea · 02-20-2002, 12:47 PM

I'm soooooo relieved. I thought everybody on here would be 18. LOL!

I'm Rhea, and I live in Northern California. I'm 50, and I work in a program that provides special ed to preschoolers. I spend all day surrounded by several hundred 3-5 year olds.

At night (and whenever else I can) I play CRPGs, which I discovered in the early '80s about 1/2 second after I discovered micros. Actually, I started with Infocom games (still love 'em), and a REALLY early Sierra game called "Hercules and the Golden Fleece," which besides really botching the mythology, was absolutely terrible.

I discovered Ironworks waaay back (I'm not even sure for which CRPG). Nice to meet everybody!
