I'm 29. I started with the original GC game, played WW... I skipped City Folk though, mainly due to the fact that the Wii didn't have many of the kinds of games I like, so ended up selling it. Really, really looking forward to New Leaf though.
You're never too old for gaming (which you'll realise when you get past 30 and that happens sooner than you think)
I started playing AC in my 20's and have just turned 35 and I love it more now than ever. Cannot wait for New Leaf to come out in Europe.
there was a lady a few pages back who was 64 so she has you licked i'm afraid
Besides that we should be proud of who we are and loving the fun things in life no matter how old we are. Everybody gets older but that doesn't mean you have to grow up
Sorry for a bit of a bump. I'm 15 now and started playing it shortly after it came out, in 2002. I was at my friend's house and he had rented it, and we all loved it. I was 4 then, I believe.
I think a lot of people who play the games stick with the series. I've seen just as much adults play the game as kids. Most adults start the game when they were kids.
That's just my take on all of it though.
I never plan on quitting :> I said this before but i think i started at 10 or 9? -> 16
I got the game when I was around 6 or 7 years old. Now I'm nearly 15 and I'm as love with the series as I was when I first got it! I think the reason that most players stick with the series is for the nostalgia. Subconsciously, the game brings back happy childhood memories--for me, at least--that I just don't get with other games. Another possibility is that the game is just that awesome it keeps you hooked, haha.
You're right. A poll would be really nice and it'd give us a good visual for what the largest age range population is without looking through all 18 pages.
I'd make a guess it's somewhere between the late teens and early twenties that play it the most.
