They're all my class talks about! (And so far there's only one thing we agree on... X-Box sux!) Even if that is only seven people (Hey, it's a private school, what do you expect?), they're all 13-14 years old and play video games. Let the records show that VIDEO GAMES HAVE NO AGE LIMIT!
Ok, ok....I didn´t say I´m too old, only asked when I should stop playing games...but as you all said there´s no limit...so I´ll play as long as it is fun for me

13 is not too old. i mean, come on! at 13, yoiu cannot even play the good games yet! (well, i have been playing a mature rated game since i was like, 8 or 9.. but htat is beside the point...) umm.. you can never get too old for hm. it has all sorts of htings to make younger AND older crowds like it. i guess where you would fall in there depends on your maturity at 13, huh?

Who do you think design these video games and makes a living from them? Who are the ones who buy consoles and PC games the most? Adults do that's who. I don't know about the States, but here the main target group for video games are 20+ adults. My friends (ages 25+) all play video games. Some of them work at daytime and play all the free time they have (they're single men, impossible otherwise).
You're never too old to play video games, but you can be too old to play
some games that are designed for a younger target audience. But in no way are HM games too childish, I say you can't get everything out of them before reaching a certain level of maturity. When you're older and more mature you'll love the more mature elements and tones in HM.
I got my GBA when I was 23, and my gamecube when I was 24. We also have the Xbox, Ps1 and two PC's full of games. My daughter doesn't appreciate these gadgets yet (she's two) but my I have alot of things in common with my nephews (12 and 8 years old)

It's nice to be the cool aunt who gives them advice on Super Mario Bros

My dad says the same thing, too... (about being too old) But you can never be too old to play Harvest Moon! No one is ever old to play video games! Just don't let it be the center of your life.

For myself, I play cause when you've got to go (and I mean really really got to GO!), you can pick it up and it'll keep you company for awhile. Books are good too, but I think most ppl prefer newspapers or magazines

$70?!? Wow! I don't think I've ever paid that much for a single game. The most I pay for anything is about $32.
Nooo.....not even for the Lunar 2 collectors edition. Then again, that was paid for by that idiot my mom married. That was $68. I hate him.
