Average age of ED player ?

Well, never played any of the originals, and this has been the first game I've played with a full HOTAS (Saitek X52 Pro) set-up, not to mention Edtracker with the magnetometer (works every time, no probs with drift at all).

August (presuming I make it!), I'll turn 60 years old..
 
Hmmm. I don't want to call the age discriminatory card, but truth be told I don't see many kids being drawn to this game. I never played old Elite as I didnt know about it plus I was around 8yrs old.

Even then, I don't see this geek-nerd-oriented game calling for the blood-sex-quick-now masses.

Dont expect age average coming down even at the imminent launch in Xbox. Video games in general and much less like this, are not for kids anymore.

I'm 36.
 
And with over 4000 entries, it's one of the few polls that could be considered "representative".

Unlike the majority of 'polls' here. :D

Mentally, or physically?

Mentally = Old enough to know better, too young to care.
Physically = The spirit is willing, the flesh is like "Dude, WTH! You aren't 20 any more!"

For me anyway. :D
 
Even the polls are getting old... At least we have some new people here with us. Makes you forget how old you really are! :)


( Not really, but it was worth the try. )
 
It is nice to see the more mature gamer here... 53 myself, playing games since an original Space Invaders machine is a local Recreation Centre (1977, I think)

I'm 37 which i'd assume is about average or in the younger 50%. I played the original on the BBC but not in 1984 as I was only 6 but I think I started in around '87 or '88, I was certainly still in primary school :D
