Well that's either 77 or born 1977.
Anyway, I'm 50+ (Just - I arrived at Sag A on my 50th)
That would be born on 1977.
Not turned 39 yet though..
A very good year
SW was released that year.

Well I won't be getting either record at only 44
Wow, kudos to you sir!
Nice to see that gaming isnt just for us who grew up at the golden era of gaming, the 80's.
I was class of '84 too. Played original Elite on a C64.

51 and another of the class of 84 Elite players. I had a BBC Model A which I upgraded the memory to the model B standards - none of these new fangled memory units, it involved pushing the legs of individual ICs into empty sockets! I won a small scholarship in my first year at Uni which had to be spent on something educational: I bought a 12" B&W portable telly to play Elite and Revs on
Just like with Cmdr Og there, my hat is off to you too sir!

I am 36 soon (so I'm in the least interesting age group), and the original Elite was too slow and complex to bother with at the time - although I really wanted to enjoy it.
But the C64 laid the foundation of my English skills, mainly with Zak McKraken and the Alien Mindbenders (i.e. weak grammar with fairly good vocabulary).
Respect to the senior players!

Ah, the memories... BBC B (boy was that was expensive - and hard to get - bought from Boots the Chemist - Cambridge) - Got a set of analogue joysticks which made docking a breeze (well relatively) - had to replace the fire button as I wore it out! (and still never made it to elite!)
