26, grew up with a bunch of old games, an NES, kept liking the ones I had, got an N64, though only very few games, eventually got into SNES emulation, which was great for a kid who loved computer games in the late 90's/early 00's, because it was not just like the NES games I remember, but much cooler, it was also free.
Keyboarding Super Metroid wasn't the most pleasant, but I pulled through because it was such a cool game. I remember thinking 16bit sprites looked nicer than a lot of 32bit/64bit 3D graphics around the same era.
I kept looking into newer games, but I always kept going back to old favorites, and occasionally I'd look around at some older stuff to see if there was anything cool I missed. Still do. Just recently I checked out Rise Of The Triad for the first time, and I was not disappointed, very fun game.
