You can NEVER get too old for FreeSpace. To say such things is heresy punishable by immediate spacing. Alternatively we could just drown wrongdoers in Bosch Beer......

21st = massive party here - pretty much the biggest birthday you're going to have til at least 40 or 50. I assumed it was universal, but apparently not.

21 Is the last 'Upwards' Birthday in the UK, the next one is 30, which is sort of like a Goodbye party for your youth ;)

40+ Parties really just mean 'Yay! I'm still alive!' ;)

I remember starting gaming in the early 90s. I was about 7 or 8. Seems like a lifetime ago.  I personally miss those days. :(

And what's worse, life tends to speed up the older you get. Ugh I hate that.

20 and 21 in July. Interesting correlation between the highest ranking age groups here and the time at which the FreeSpace games were released.. that puts most of us quite squarely in our teenage years.

Conclusion? Teenagers are geeks ;)

I just entered my teenage years when I played FS1 for the first time. I was even younger when I played with Descent.
Can you imagine a 9 year-old child with a Joystick in his hands playing the predecessor of FreeSpace?
