Skyrabbit Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) I have always assumed I am one of the older players of Skyrim who use the Nexus. I am 55, but recently I read a post from someone in their 70's. I would be interested to know if there are many older players. I bought my first computer in 1982, a Commodore VIC 20, and still remember the excitement of expanding the RAM by 16k! The first RPG I had was a text only Lord of the Rings game.Sometimes I just wander around Skyrim marvelling at how far we have come! :thumbsup: Edit. 19:57 15th Jan. Thanks for all the responses. It's been really interesting hearing about your first encounters with computers. Before I bought the Commodore I used to use my mates' BBC computer, remember those? What a joy it was to get a 5.25" floppy drive and not have to listen for hours to the interminable screeching of the cassette player failing to load a game! Oldest poster so far (who has given age) is 66. Do I hear any advance on 66 Ladies and Gentlemen? Edited January 15, 2014 by Skyrabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurielius Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I'll be 62 in February and my first computer was a Commodore 64, first pc game was Elite. I have two other older close friends here that are older than I... but I'll let them out themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shubal Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 61, my first computer had a wood fired OS. First Elderscrolls was Daggerfall. Its full install was something like 400MB. I had a 250MB hard drive. Awkward. You could take a 14 hour walk in Daggerfalls hinterland and finally run into a cabin with a static figure inside that said "hello".The priestesses in the Temple of Diabella knew nothing of Dream Girl or UNP.

Trassel Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I'm 19, my first computer that was my own was my dad's old custom-built PC with Windows 2000 on it (otherwise I'd borrow my dad's or mom's computer). The first game I played was SimAnt when I was in preschool (3 or 4 years old), I was scared of the close-ups of the spider eating the ant. I also remember using Windows 95 at some point, and I remember when Google was a new search engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
