Dear JGO Community,
I read two very disturbing posts today in the what’s your favorite game thread and while I initially decided to hold my tongue, I decided I could no longer keep quiet. The two comments in question are:

Yes, just pause and let that sink in.
When I played Zork, Infocom was still a company and when DOOM came out (just Doom, not Doom 2 or Doom 3), I was in college. So this leads me to my question: Just how old are you people?
Sincerely,
Actual (aged 38)
Huh? I’m 20. Don’t worry, there are people of all ages here. 
20 aswell. And deep inside… I really hate you… for being the same age as me but possessing so much more programming knowledge. But dont worry, I wont hurt you 8)
Well, I’m 14…but look at all the awesome retro games I missed out on!
Happy Birthday sproingie!
Congrats, old man!
I grew up with an Atari 2600, played just about everything on that to death, then went on to a C64. I was playing Ultima IV while all the kids thought Zelda was the most awesomest “RPG” ever. Never did get into NES til I started playing my stepbrother’s console while home from college.
21 here ;D
Its obvious knowledge is not bound to age here.
Maybe its also fun to mention how long were into programming.
I really started programming (Actionscript (Flash) and php) when i was around 14-15
I’m 27 years. (Been programming since I was 13.)
This forum has people from all over the place in the Java programming world. I’ve learned a lot about Java and OpenGL that is valuable and could not be learned anywhere else. Not bad for a gaming forum. 
Oh and…
Happy birthday sproingie!
I didn’t imagine you were so old
13
Age is just a number, but like most numbers, more is better.
It’s a pity. The lower the number, the less you are taken serious…
15 here.

誕生日おめでとう
Oh damn, I’ve got competition!
Cheers! 
I am 17 years old.
EDIT: I started programming a year ago. People like Agro, ctommni231, Jimmt, and Sickan all make me hate myself for not programming at an earlier age :emo:.
I’m a grand total of 26 summers old.
I’m 23 and i feel old already :emo:
Well, i guess it doesn’t matter how old you are, but how you adapt to new stuff.
I sure wanna get to 60 programming in Z++ and playing some Call of Duty 278 - Zombies inside your average Zombie. (Just a metaphor, though: I hate COD)
I started Java when i was nearly turning 10
Programming web since 11. (Gave up because HTML/PHP is useless for games. Did not know about Javascript)
Programming Java since late last year (modding Minecraft)
Programming my own games since the start of this year.
Programming a networked game (without Kryonet) since two months before I turned 14. (but I gave up)
Programming with LWJGL since 1 month before I turned 14.
Programming a voxel engine since two weeks before I turned 14.
Agree
