@ilcontepier - I upgraded my decent graphics card, bought an X-Box One controller, and joined Reddit, Discord, and ETARC all because of No Man’s Sky. I hope to play it “forever.”

I had a ‘suitcase’ 64.  
Had a tiny screen and the top cover was the keyboard. Probably be worth a collector’s left foot these days.

37 here, so technically in the “flower of my years” still. In all honesty, I felt like I almost wasn’t aging from 20 to 32. Then I got twins, and since then I feel like I’m aging so rapidly that I sometimes wonder if I’ll manage to survive until the buggers are 20…

Yes those will be difficult to find I guess. When I search the Internet I get lots of pictures of it but none somewhere in store. I don’t have any contact anymore with the 3D Kit people but I will have a look around and see if I can find some… But don’t get your hopes up too high 🙂

Great thread! Nice hearing how many other ‘older kids’ are playing. I’m in my mid 50s and I feel like I’ll be @heartphone in about 15-20 years. That is still playing! Just something about NMS. My friend and I talked about inventing a game about 25 years ago like this. We were thinking about calling it ‘Bum Around’. Well, we never got around to it, but Sean and Hello Games did thankfully!

I always say there’s nothing wrong with being young at heart and still doing fun and youthful things. You can still be responsible, work hard, do all the adult ‘things’ but you don’t have to give up some of the same things you did when you were younger!

(Oh wow that video thumbnail looks very odd not knowing the context 😂)

I’m 20 and surprised at the age distribution among this forum! Certainly this community has a surplus of experience and wisdom. I think what it is is that NMS caters to the space dreamers in all of us regardless of age or background.
