As an old SIS RPG gamer. How old, I started on a Tandy HX100 with two floppies and 64kb ram. Secrets of the Silver Blades was the big thing for me then before I graduated to Diablo. Hellfire made Diablo better till D2 came out. Then the Expansion disk came with all the different mods for it. D2 LOD is still going strong with it's mods. One of the best is Chaos Empire which helped wear out several computers. This mod keeps this old man YOUNG and gaming.

I dispute that there are few old hard core gamers.
Since I'm an old gray gamer, with children and Grandchildren that are gamers. I'm glad to say I started them onto this mild form of addiction. PC's started to be house hold items in the late 80's and continued to be popular till present times.
Now if you do a little math, considering in the 80's, a gamer would be 12 or above years old.
Now I fall in the well above 12 year age in the 80's, mid forties, which now puts me in the gray haired crowd. My friends found out that a good whack and stack RPG was a great stress reliever. We continue to play to this present day.
Put that in your mix and now figure who has the money to buy the games or has the time to really play an unlimited time, single play or on-line. The gray haired set continue to play or resume their playing games as they age.
