Well we had this discussion a while back, oh well. I just turn 57 on the 28 of March and been playing computer games since 1984 when I bough a Com-64. In the other thread about age, I was the oldest listing his age. There may be older player but they will not state their age. Also on the tread about who has played most of Sid games I was either at the top or very close to the top of number of games played that where made by Sid. I still have Civ 1 in DOS and Win., CivNet, Civ 2, 2 ea., Civ MGE, 2 ea., TOT, 2 ea. I keep 1 MGE & TOT at my daughter house, so I can play there if I feel like it. For real I have to many games, there are about 100 games behind me and I gave away around 50 or more to the school that I now work at and 20 to the boy & girl club and than I gave 18 games to a friend last summer. I kind of wish now that I did not give them away. Most of those games were DOS games.

I would have to believe that the age group that is posting on this forum and is going to purchase Civ III is a great deal older than those playing most games on average. Civ takes a lot of thought and strategy and while I'm only 18, I know a lot of my friends cannot match me in MP games. They just don't plan out their moves with as much thought. They can however, kill me in click fests.
So to all you 'old' people out there. I hope when I get to be your age I am still playing computer games like Civ.

Heck, I'm 33 and still find the Civ games to be as fun as I did almost 10 years ago when I started playing them. As far as female players, when my wife (fiance at the time) moved in with me, she became as addicted to Civ games as I am. Actually, I think she may be worse about it! At first, she was somewhat averse to going on conquering sprees, but she warmed up to the Alexander the Great role eventually, and now she's pretty bloodthirsty! 
The only drawback to getting older and still being a Civ fan is that the responsibilities of life leave less time to play Civ. I've had to learn to play in smaller time increments, since staying up all night can definitely affect one's job performance. Playing Civ2 rather than CTP helps, since Civ2 moves along much faster (as well as having a decent AI). Hopefully Civ3 will move along as briskly as Civ2.

Hey Ilkuul welcome to the 50th club, we had another gentleman who was a year younger than me; I guess he is sitting this one out. Wow a 56K machine, were there many games for it? A lot of games that were made for C-64 are still around today (Gunship, Railroad Tycoon, Airborne Ranger is still around in the first person shooter games, SimCity) for some. Guess who made a lot of those games for the 64? Sid and Micro Prose did.
Some of you are talking about raising a family, for me it was easy, there was no personal computer back then. My oldest 36 and youngest 30 this year. I was President of both the Girls Softball and Boy Baseball league at the same time but in 84 when I bough my first computer the 2 oldest where in High School. So guy and ladies give it time and you will be where I’m at now, time to play and play and play. Of course you will be playing Civ 7 or so if they make a new one every 4 years. I just hope I'm around to play Civ 7.

C-64 , now those were computer games... Raid over moscow, beachhead I & II, that sweet karate game from EA.. I was like 8 yrs old when my dad brought that home. I was hooked that very day. Now I am 23 still love to play computer games in my spare time (which is almost nonexistant these days). Civ 2 still resides on my Harddrive after all the others have come and gone.

C-64, Bubble bobble, archon and wonderboy.
Well, I`m 19 and played Civ I at Amiga when I was 9 or 10. It took some time to figure it out, but when I after a coupple of years found out that revolution from despotism to another government actually was a good thing, I realized that Sid was God.
Been playing civ, civII and CTP ever since. But after a coupple of years with CTP I look forward to play another of Sids glorious civ games.
Right now I`m in the navy, so there is little time for playing, but it looks like I have at least 30 years left with Civ.

I am thirty years old and never got tired from playing Civilization. I played it from the beginning on. The only thing I have to admit is that I don't like all the Civ games though. I founf the CtP series extremely boring and never succeeded to end one single game. But with the original series I still play through the nights right into the next morning. My girlfriend accepts that, perhaps "older" women are more understandable than the young, hyperactive ones. Oh, by the way, us older Civers could have a "Cridge Message Icon".
