This isn't meant as a dig at anyone here, but its just something that I have wondered about in recent years after listening to friends and work colleagues.
When did playing computer games become acceptable for grown adults (mostly men)?
I was a child of the late 70s/80s and was a bit of a computer geek myself (, Atari VCS, Spectrum, C64, Atari ST, Amiga) and spent a lot of time playing games, but the interest faded when I hit about 17 or 18.
Now I know many many people in their 30s and 40s who play computer games every day/night and I just can't understand it. Maybe its just me?
