45, I actually get less grumpy and more open minded with age though. I play stuff now that I wouldn't have touched with a 10 foot pole 10 years ago.
Somehow I now have an itch to watch Logan's Run.
I'm not sure text adventures really have a whole lot in common with CRPG's IMO, but I actually started with the original text adventure, the one that came before Zork. Wikipedia says it's called Adventureland, which sounds right. I played it on a friend's VIC-20. What really got me into CPRG's though was buying Might & Magic 1 at Babbage's one day.Alright. When I voted yesterday, I was one of only two to be in the 30's category. Everyone else was older. Now that more of us have voted, I can see that a lot of us are in our thirties. That seems more like what I was expecting.
For you older guys, I'm wondering how you got into RPGs, and specifically cRPGs. Those of us currently in our mid-late thirties were kids and tweens during the heyday of the Gold Box RPGs. Did you guys get into those during college, and then stick with it? Or did you as teenagers start with Zork before we were even born?

I will be 53 in June. That makes 3 of us who are 52. Weird.
Even have a t-shirt
