What is the average age on here??

[+3code]

Wow, I see now I'm really young here, "only" 43 (my machine was an heretic +2A).

Same

43 and a +2a kiddo.

I'm more New Zealand than Manic Miner.

Big chunky sprites and monochrome games.

[pavero]

43 in August ... for the fourth or fifth time

[manicminerfan001]

57. Dunno what the average age must be? But with all the 40 somethings? I had my first sinclair zx81 at the age of 17.

Agree, but play Turrican 1, Teenage Mutant Turtles 1, Extreme or Dan Dare 3, full color, it was like playing with a NES. Old times, good times.

Made it to 50, with my first Spectrum in 1984. Woo!

[flatduckrecords]

I’ll be 39 next week. I got my first Spectrum when I was about 7, so it must have been the Christmas of ‘89 or ‘90. Just a 48K model, second hand. But I loved it!

Believe it or not, so far, the current average age is (drum roll please….)

Exactly 50 (oh, okay, I rounded the decimals a bit). That’s with 29 ‘ages’ so far.

Note that where a stated age has been approximate or not completely clear, I have used the higher figure.

Right, back to it, any more to add?

Four years above average, not bad...
btw, nice to see a lot of youngsters here.
Some were apparently lucky enough, to get their first Spectrum in kindergarten.

[+3code]

And now I have...

A "gummy" with Saga Keyboard
a 48+ model (and an Interface 2), that two were tested with the same power suply
a +3 Spanish
a +2A English (that two were tested with the same power suply, a +3 power suply)
two A500 machines (not working)
sadly, a MSX1 machine (full working) ended in the bin. I must think what I make with all that things.

Wow, I see now I'm really young here, "only" 43 (my machine was an heretic +2A).

Nothing wrong with that! Started with a 48K then got a +2A which I absolutely loved.
I'm 44.

[Mousey]

47. The Speccy has been a part of my life for almost 40 years…

[Ralf]

46 but mentally much younger

Code: Select all

10 FOR n=10 TO 70 STEP 40
20 IF n>10 THEN PRINT n
30 NEXT n

[andydansby]

53 here. And I am feeling exactly that age. On some days, even more.

[cmal]

50

[cha05e90]

To counter all this 40ish kids: 54 here!

[Cosmium]

55.

My first Sinclair was the 1K ZX81 in 1981, followed by the 16K Spectrum in 1982, both via mail order. Incredible machines!

[Vampyre]

Hitting the big half-century at the arse-end of this year.

[Metalbrain]

45 here

[WhatHoSnorkers]

45 here. First Sinclair was a secondhand ZX81, then we got a lovely grey +2!

[Swainy]

47 and feeling every year of it physically. Got my first Speccy in 1987 although my best mate had a 48k machine since they were released so I had played it an awful lot despite being quite late to the party myself.

[jpnz]

It was my 50th earlier this year and celebrated with an eye test.
Now sporting glasses for close up work and smashing out hex listings!
Still 25 in my own mind though

[RST#08]

53 here
