It's fun to kick the shit out of ANYONE when you are 25. And it's STILL Fun to kick the shit out of them when you are 65.
Shit man, when I was 25 it was 1990.
The internet was still under development and mostly used to connect universities. Personal use was just becoming a possibility. Windows had just released Windows 3.0. PC gaming was extremely limited with very limited graphics. Consoles ruled the roost as far as gaming. AMD was building x86 processors like the AMD 386DX which ran at 40MHz. Memory of less than 1Mb was standard.
1991
January
Commodore Business Machines unveils the Amiga 3000UX, with a Motorola MC68030 25 MHz processor, 68882 math coprocessor, UNIX System V Release 4, Open Look, and Ethernet support. Cost is US$5000, without a monitor.
All I can say is that I'm damn glad I didnt give up on gaming at 25. Hell, I was just warming up! Gaming is a very enjoyable part of my life which I will never leave behind. I may have taken on other hobbies (such as skydiving) and devoted more time to them but never to the exclusion of gaming. Gaming allows us to interactively feel and experience situations that are not possible IRL such as running in a NASCAR race, piloting a spaceship, doing battle with modern day weapons, recreating WWII battles, the imagination is the only limit here. Shit man, that's pretty fucking good if you ask me! Why would you ever leave that behind? Wait till you get there and you'll see that it's not likely to happen.
As I said before, I'll be done gaming when I'm dead.
