Addendum: Today's gamers use "paleogamer" to refer to players who've been gaming since the early eighties. When I started gaming (in the late seventies), the term referred to gamers who started in the early seventies, and is still sometimes used that way. Should I be depressed that now I'm a paleogamer? (I'm only 34!) [EDE]
