The oldest FPS player

The search is on for the oldest FPS player in the world.
(It's not me! At only 62, I am but a nestling).

The only “rules” are they must play regularly, say at least twice a week and they must have been playing for at least the last 3 months (so you still need to be alive to enter).

Any FPS game counts, SP or MP, it doesn’t matter.

Ask around, post on your favourite forums, tweet it, FaceBook, podcasts, ask friends, colleagues, ANYTHING, but let’s start looking.

Phillip Marlowe (PlanetPhillip) will interview the person, assuming they agree, and see if we can get a story going, maybe even something in some national newspaper and some of the bigger sites.

Please post your nominations here:

The Cat's Whiskers at Crunching Combine

Oldest. Not relevant to age specific since FPS been around since 1995ish.

It would seem more prudent to credit this since if a 70 year old is found, but only been fragging for a month that would suck ass.

Find the oldest, whos been fragging longest. IE Doom 1 or Wolfenstein.

The best things in life, aren't things.

The majority of people who are stuck in the FPS baby step years didn't graduate up to modern FPS' though ... so you'd have to log when they stopped playing too

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Well I'm 56 and have been playing since Atari and colecovision was the big thing. Also played Battletec online using a 2600bd modem. Now that sucked. Played all the old text games before graphics were even thought of.

Light is faster than sound:That is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Your riches in life are family and friends, everything else is just a distraction.

You have crash landed on an alien world. You have blah,blah supplies and little air. What do you do first?????

Loved those old games for my Commodore 16.
