I'm kinda doing a poll. Don't tell me exact age. Just tell me if you're either: under 10, 10-25, 26-40, or over 40. Thnx!

I'm 23. And 3 years ago there have been such resarches made on large scale. AFAIR the largest group of PCgamers(about 38% AFAIR) was 30-38 years old

Same here, but 23. Been playing since I was 4. I had a Commodore64, NES and neighbor had Atari. Dunno what it was, but I loved playing Silent Service, Wheel of Fortune and Ninja on my old Commodore 64 when I was a kid. Didnt even need the parents to start up the PC.

Man, don't even complain. At least you don't have to be 21 to drink. If you really want a job that bad then do some odd jobs around your neighborhood.

Well, I'm 20. I'd have to say that most PC gamers are probably in their 20s. For GS though, I'd have to say 13-16.

I remember being away for hockey and Duke3D came out. I was all about that game. It was just amazing and thats what made me think about how wicked FPS really were and how they were to stay forever. Just thats the genre that makes gaming now. This is why nVidia and ATI make rediculous cards for us to buy. Casue the engines for FPS are so demanding and they have the most realism.

Oh man...don't even get me started on the bosses.About the hardest FPS bosses i've ever encountered.BloodMist

I noticed that now-a-days the bosses are easier. But then again, my gaming skills from when Duke came out are vastly improved. But still I always had trouble with the boss' and I may have to agree with you on this being the last time I encountered really hard bosses. Besides when I play Zelda, for some reason the bosses always take a mindtrial. They require certain things to kill them. But for FPS, yes Duke 3D boss' always gave me trouble.

But the end boss in Wolf3D when I was a kid probalby took me the longest. I mean come on dual gatling guns?

Hahahahahaha, I loved that concept of hitler. But it seems Duke 3d's bosses took skill to beat, unlike most bosses that come out of today's generation. You are right, they are basically mind trials. Figuring out how to beat the boss in that is 100% of the concept.

Ya Hitler with dualies...lol, but there was a boss before him that looked like aregular soldier in blue that had dual guns, infact you face a few of them if I remember correctly. Been so damn long sinc eI played that game. I think last time I played it was on my friends Atari Jaguar. Showing him how to beat it.

Dukes boss' were skill for sure and Zelda is a puzzle game overall, just it takes a while to learn the bosses more in that series then say where to hit the boss on the body with any gun.
