I am only 13 years old and as i have always said to peple who are over 20 aren't u guys to old to be playing computer games? U OLD people are always saying us children play to much computer games and yet you still set out a bad example tsk tsk tsk.

[Zoom Rabbit]

Ham Yoyo? I'm certain I haven't seen that one before! http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/biggrin.gif Howdy, fellow A-wing terrorist in his thirties...

So why do we old guys play video games? *Sigh* Well, for me it started when I was a little squirt in the front row of the movie theater, watching Star Wars come to life. I decided then that I wanted to be a starfighter pilot and fight bad guys in outer space.

Only problem? Living in the real world, with no bad guys to kill, and a fear of flying which would prevent me from trying to even get off the ground. http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/biggrin.gif

When I was a kid, I had no interest in the wireframe graphics videogames they had in the parlors (home systems sucked even worse!) Until, that is, the first Star Wars game came out...finally, I could fly an X-wing and blow up the Death Star. That one videogame was the extent of my childhood videogame career.

Years later, as an adult, I picked up my next videogame, a flight simulation for the N64 called Pilot Wings. When Rogue Squadron came out for the same console system, my buying it was a foregone conclusion. Same story with Episode One: Racer and Battle for Naboo. When I got a computer, I got the latest version PC simulation (X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter) that my RAM could support...and when I upgrade, you can bet I'll get XWA at the same time.

So, you see...it isn't about playing videogames. It's about flying over somewhere and smacking TIEs out of my sky, that's all. http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/smile.gif
