Never too old!!! I've been playing videogames since 1977 with the Atari 2600. And I still continue to play today with PC games, Xbox Series X, PS5, Switch, and other oddities such as the re-release of the C64, Atari 400, Amiga 500, and others... And yes, I'm 60 years young and will forever play videogames!!! Love you channel and game on!!!

I turned 51 last week and I have just STARTED my KZread gamer journey. I will be at SoCal with bells on and full of excitement to enjoy every aspect of the gaming community. Maybe I'll be looking for stuff a console generation or two earlier than most, but I still have now and will have a blast. Age is just a number.

my dad who's 65 still plays COD multiplayer

Born in 1970 and still gaming.A stroke can't stop me.Playing video games was part of my physical therapy for my left hand.Colecovision and intellvision were my first game systems I played on played on.

Salute

I expect all of the crew to be old in wheelchairs and at the swap meet 😂😂

Mid 50's here and I have just started a KZread Channel myself. I have loved gaming since the Atari 2600 days and grew up riding my BMX bike all over town hitting up arcades as well. Will I stop playing games when I am older? Heck no and I hope you guys carry the gaming passion or bug with you your entire lives as well. I tend to think gaming is in our blood but understand the time factor of gameplay will change from time to time for each and every one of us. I intend to be hitting up my HUGE backlog my entire life. I look forward to retirement one day and gaming with anyone that wants to game with an old codger whether it be grandkids or other old farts. GAME ON!

Never..I’ve just turned 50 and I’m busy trying to collect all my childhood favourites..primarily GameCube titles and I’m absolutely loving it

37 years old and have found I have way less time to game but when I do it’s retro over new age. I love retro so much more the older I get.

Definitely a bigger fan of the 8-16 bit generations and arcades, compared to what's mostly coming out these days, especially when it's something i missed out on growing up, which still technically translates to a first time experience. StarTropics totally rings a bell! I had a better time with that one than even the original LOZ. I'm almost 40, and I feel like my modern gaming days are waning. Looking forward to the Switch 2 and the next big main line Resident Evil game, but that's about it really. My PS5 is collecting some serious dust bunnies, and my Switch as of late has beasically transformed into a retro Schmup machine. :P

I'm subbed to an older woman named Britta FoodforDogs, and she's a British grandma who still loves gaming. And I mean hardcore gaming, huge editions and complete collections of super obscure JRPGs, figures, modern, retro, handheld, platformers, beat em ups, whatever. It's fun to see someone of that generation understand our hobby and crazy gaming lingo. I do think the generations surrounding NES-PS2 are going to have a lot more elderly gamers than we have now. I'd say it has something to do with the games and quality, but also the physical aspect of renting as a kid and collecting as an adult, the nostalgia and timeframe when all those consoles came out. It kind of all stops being that important towards the end of the PS3 era, at least for the ones that were "kids" during that time. They don't have the nostalgia of renting a different cart or disc every weekend, or the actual console wars and all the fanfair surrounding Nintendo vs Sega and the others. I just think that the heavy digital reliance will affect how ppl see games of today in the future. You'll probably have to emulate 75% of them to get it running correctly with downloading deleted updates and patches. We don't have to worry about that all the way up to the PS2 era, which is our prime nostalgia era, '85-2003ish

Instead of train sets and model cars, we’ll be the old dudes tinkering in the basement with old consoles and CRT tvs lol

Should invite grandpa gamer onto the show.

I think I want We Love Katamari (PS2) to be my last game. Not only is it my favorite of all time, it is also such a warm, vibrant and joyful game. The music, the colors, the sillyness... Just one last shot of life before I go. :)

Ive noticed since ive gotten older I find myself watching people play video games on youtube almost more than I play them myself. Which is weird but if you think about it when we were kids and in groups of friends playing Nintendo, It only had 2 controllers so even as a kid i did spend alot of time watching people play video games.

Bell bottom Ben lmfao😂😂 that had me rollin

Can't wait for your future channel "Pixel Game Gramps"

I will be 51 years old in October and still gaming strong. My first console was a PONG console, which I still have and play to this day. I usually play 6 to 12 hours a day, no worries. Got to love retirement.

Had to drop a comment, I am 44 and still gaming and even my Dad at 76 still games, he loves old school point and click adventures like Monkey Island and then old FMV games like 7 Guest and 11th Hour.

I will be playing one of my retro handhelds in my coffin 🙏🏽

In my 40s and I play just as much 10 years ago as I do now. I play games with both of my kids. A lot of coop. I also game with friends once a week. I knew when I held that nes controller in my hands for the first time I was destined to play video games forever.

Never I remember loving being on Facebook groups for years of the kingdom and literally 60-70-80 year old people that where part of the group that were having tons of fun with the game! Not to mention adults “game” in different forms including golf or fishing.

I'm 48, now that my kids moved out of my house, I find myself with more time, so I can game more. My dad was a gamer, he loved going to the arcades. We grew up with Atari 2600 and NES. As long as my thumbs and vision works, I don't see myself quitting anytime soon.

I'm 48 and still game pretty heavily. If I'm not building my truck I'm playing video games! I'll never stop!!!

I'm 44 now disabled and raised twins on my own they are now 21 so I've done my bit and now have infinite time on my hands and I'm loving it. I've got a little collection of 1200 games and 17 systems it's my hobby even got back into SIM racing recently as someone I know 3d printed a hand controlled brake handle for me as I can only use one leg.

I’m in mid 50s now and started on pong, grew up playing so much Atari 2600. I find sacrificing movies over anything else, I’d much rather game

12:00 I was just playing Spiritual Warfare yesterday on PC! Great flashback to the NES cartridge along with Exodus my parents would rent for me as a kid 💙

I hit the point where listening to old video game soundtracks fills that void of actual gaming lol

Never too old. Im nearly 47 and still play. Definately less time though these day and my backlog grows

Mid 50’s and I play like crazy. I have more time now to just enjoy new and old games. 😉 built an arcade for the grandkids. I’ll play when I’m in a retirement home on a Genesis.

I'm 58 I still play not as much but still and always on the hunt

I just turned 51. I am definitely still gaming. Started with the 2600 and I will still buy games but it’s been turning from wanting to play than, to a nostalgic buy to remember the boxes, adds and so forth. My main gaming is done on the 360 and newer consoles. I casually play my snes and nes but never connected with n64 and GameCube as I never had them when they were the “new” consoles.

I hope I'm still playing Contra III on hard mode when I'm in my 80's.

At 31 years old with a wife, daughter, and job my gaming time is less. I play once everyone is asleep at night but regret it the next day. I’ve shifted towards pokemon collecting a lot recently because I still get that collecting enjoyment but it’s focused on pieces instead of gaming.

I am 54 and I game as much as possible .. and i have all the systems from NES to Current Gen ! Dont count out the Buying Power of the 50 plus Crowd we can buy back our childhood !!

We have other priorities, but we also find a way to get it in for a few. Point is, don't stop playing

I'm an Atari guy in my 50s and I still play when I can find a few minutes, definitely not as much as I'd like. I also vend at 2 cons per year, just for fun. There's a huge Atari homebrew scene as well, and Activision legends David Crane, Daniel Kitchen, Garry Kitchen, and John Van Ryzin are still making killer Atari games through their company, Audacity Games.

My favorite conversation yet. I can’t wait to be retired and able to really dig into some of the games I have been collecting. I’m going to play sooo many RPG’s from start to finish! 🎉🎉🎉 Gaming till the end!!

In my 40s playing till I physically can't

Chris is so real.

51 here, still gaming, mostly a PC gamer but also play my Atari 2600 and NES. I try to make time at least 1 night a week to game and I feel like I'll be gaming the rest of my life, from my cold dead hands. 😄 But you definitely gotta do what works for you. I find that I work hard and I don't want to save it all up till I retire, so I make time again at least once a week to get some game time in.

Never my grandpa played till he died and he was 93

Man, so many emotions with this video. I'm 52 and I still play video games..... occasionally. I go in spurts. I have picked up every retro device possible to play games, including the NES carts with 500+ games on them, raspberry pi's, you name it. In defense of the 50 somethings like me or anyone that grew up with the Atari 2600 first. The Atari was HUGE when it came out. We were blown away on Christmas when we finally got ours. For 1977 and on through the early 80's, that was all we really had, unless you had a friend that had ColecoVision or Intellivision. The reason I don't play very much Atari, which is probably why a lot of folks don't, is the games are just "meh". Barring a lot of the great Activision games like Pitfall, they just don't hold up. Many of the Atari games were ports of Arcade games and most of us would rather play the original arcade games on M.A.M.E. I do agree with ya'll that given one system to play if I had to take one to the nursing home, it would, without question, be the NES. I about jumped out the chair when the Ricky said he built a chicken coop, I just finished building one for my wife as well. Getting older, I like to tinker with stuff, so there are other hobbies that take up a lot of my time. And if I was there, I would totally buy Ben a beer, because I think NES Golf is outstanding! And I don't even play real golf, but that game is incredible, I just played it this weekend. No matter how good you think you are, it always manages to remind you of how difficult it can be.

It’s a 40s thing but I wanted to mention I’ve come across a veteran who’s a streamer and post on tiktok and he’s a bad ass specially on call of duty

NEVER too old!

48 and not playing as much but still gaming

My problem is , when I was using “5 or so years Sober now” I would only play video games when I was using , so now it’s hard for me to enjoy it.. sucks

Gaming till my journey is over no matter how old Gaming = Happiness

I'm 52 and I still play new and old games. Black Ops 6 I'm all in in October. New World , Fallout. I still bust out my atari 2600.

I’ll be 50 this year. Just started streaming

I’ve seen all of 1980-Now it never ends

I’m going to be gaming till I’m 100.

born in the 70's, playing Atari 2600, 5200, 7800 series then playstations

I was born 09/06/1978 and I’m going to be 46 this year , I think Chris is a little off with his math? Lmao 😂

One more time Link to the Past!!!

When are you too old to play video games? When you start reselling.

You are never too old to game but you definitely get less time as you get older. I played games like crazy in my teens and twenties. Now in my mid 30s I rarely play. I've got other commitments, work and other interests that have taken chunks of my time. I play exclusively retro games that I know I like so I'm not wasting time on games I end up not liking. Lots of older PC games as well as I'm sitting at the computer a lot anyhow so getting the console set up seems like a hassle at times.

Never too old I will be doing this till I can’t. My dad is 70 and still jamming…isn’t that what retirement is for…. gaming

You’re never too old to play games. I believe they just become less of a priority the older you get

I’m with Ben, most played game on my modded psp in NES Golf hahah

I always got a handheld on me. I'm going out playing gba 😅

Im 52 and will be 53 in the next couple months, and I’ve known for years now, the fine balance of time….. i love games but can only play sports games (cant wait College Football 25) and fighters and shmups, some platformers but RPGS forget iit, i usually work 70 to 90 hours a week but I really hope to attend SOCAL gaming expo…… take care youngsters….lol

i'll be 46 in dec, i play games every day. I dont see myself ever stopping. It sounds like for most people why they arent playing as much isnt about age its about the time, or lack there of. I have time.

I’m 48 and finding time is harder, so i’m having one 2+ hour session a week. It’s always retro and using a Retron 5. The game and console taking me out… SNES Super Mario World.

I'm 43 I still play atair 2600 and Odyssey 2

Honestly I'm 45 I work 50 hours a week as far as Hobbies. I golf, Fish, Hunt, Disc Golf, I'm into Shooting and with any Hobby it gets expensive and find myself less and less interested with video games. Currently my Favorite console is Xbox360 and there are so many good games I need to try so that is the state of gaming I am at. Other than that I do have a ps5 to play fortnite with the kids.

I'm 50 and still game, I have a small collection as well. But yes, I do not game as much as before.

Never too old to game as a life long gamer I will awlays find whatever little time I have to play but my dad and my mom used to play games and now haven't in many years I agree the boomers and early Gen Xers don't game when they hit their 50s but the generation after more serious about gaming have a deeper passion then just something to pass time but I will say when I get to my old age I will still be gaming 100% that is if I have time right now I don't game like I used to as a kid to my early 20s but try my best to make time but I feel once I entered my 30s(31 in 1 week) the way I look at life changed and my outlook is diffrent but still have my passion for gaming and I love that final question I would go out with either PS2 Silent Hill 2 or Switch Smash Bros Ultimate being my favourite game or MVC 2 arcade cab if I ever have space for a cab

I think it’s more of a time problem as you get older. I also can’t justify sitting for hours with an rpg anymore.

44 just this week and i find myself enjoying youtube more than gaming. Lol. But when i do game it's mostly multi-player warzone or halo. I grew up with the nes and a hint of master system. Long story short. Sega everything was my core memory of my childhood. specifically virtua fighter, Daytona USA. And of course Nights into dreams. N64, I'd have to pick Zelda OCOT, beatle adventure racing and wetrix. Xbox fan. Grew up with it into my 20's and still a fan. Cutrently collecting xbox OG. Wish i could collect sega stuff. But it's out of my price range ATM.

There is a lady in Japan in her 90s....who plays video games...she also has her own channel. We are in our 40s...we are still young. Sure its not like when we we're kids...but am I stopping? Nope. I'm 46. I'm married. I work. I take care of my mother. Am I stopping? Nope.

I'm 40-year-old I'm still playing my xbox 360 video games

Never. It's like saying someone is too old for chess or checkers. That said, it is less interesting to me now. It takes a lot to get me interested because it feels like everything has been there, done that. Plus, time is way more of a luxury and it's hard to invest hours in games.

the funny thing is, it's all just entertainment. that's like saying you're too old to watch sports. at least with video games, you're activating your brain responses, sports is mindless

Wait are we to old? I’ve gotten to the point with modern games I’m not having fun anymore. Which is why I am enjoying everything again from my childhood

50 in a few years and no. I will always game unless the industry ruins it.

If Ben is 46, the question is - how? Dude looks 30+

Gaming forever, idk about being able to play multiplayer FPS shooters forever lol.

In all honesty I've gotten tired of playing game. Everytime I decided to put aside time to play I can't enjoy it as I feel I could be using my time more efficiently.

I get what Curtis is saying, but people have accidents or get sick at all ages. I hope he's not going all in on "setting himself up" and forgets to relax every now and then

uh hey guys if only you know someone in there 50s that plays games oh wait lol

Dreamcast…….. marvel vs capcom 2 with a fighter stick!!!!!!!

Ricky is 40??!

You guys are complaining about being 40? I'm soon to be 59. I don't have any consoles or games. I do miss playing games but it's not in my budget at this point in time.

i turned 66 you game more

Its the only art form or whatever, where you really have to justify. Nobody asks if you gonna grow out of movies, music, painting, even boardgames. But videogames, the most profitable out of the bunch... for some reason you have to justify. It makes zero sense to me.

How does chafa Ricky think ?

I'm too old for most 3d games. I think they're boring.

They’re not gamers, simply resellers.

Your ever to old to play fortnight

Work / life balance is very important. You don't want to wake up one day in your 60s with all the money but now too old to enjoy life.

NEVER
