I am very happy that she was able to play all the games she did, but I am sad she never got a chance to play DQ6. Where ever she is now, she is playing DQ6 and busting up some slimes.

Just goes to show that you're never too old to enjoy the things that you do.

I wish one of my grandmas would play games with me.

In her memory:

It's good to know she enjoyed playing videogames for such a long time, and judging by the rest of the description on her obituary, she had a good life.

We might all be in this position when virtual reality is around.

This is going to be a common thing soon 80 year olds playing like Modern Warfare 12!

Soon? People of all ages are playing all kinds of games and have been for a while. Kinda the point here... :sly:

Yes, but it's not common in older folks, that's what he meant.

Though I do know more then a few old couples who like to groove on their wii together.

How do you know? Define Older? I mean you are just perpetuating the stereotype. I mean just because YOU don't see older gamers, doesn't mean they are not there.
