With any luck I'll die at nice ripe old age while playing Civilization 17! Been gaming (board, paper and pencil, computer) for 45+ years and have not intention of stopping. Great mental exercise and stress relief. My kids are both >21 and play various games. We all like different stuff and we've all liked different stuff at various times.
Gaming is one of those timeless and ageless kind of things that at least seems to keep the brain young while the rest of me sure isn't!
20+ years ago my wife interrupted me while I was playing an Atari2600 game asked me if I was ever going to "grow up". My answer's the same today--"I hope not!"
