"A lot of people like us started gaming 20, 30 years ago, and we just stay with it," says 68-year-old Liam Murray. Murray and his wife have been gaming together since Pong, which they played on their first PC: a Pentium 286 with 256K of memory and a 300-baud modem, a system that cost $4,000. They once played so much electronic Mah-Jong that a ghost image of the tiles was burned into their monitor. Liam now plays about 50 hours a week with family and online friends, sometimes until 3 a.m. "Old people don't sleep much," he adds.

Typo, they said "pentium 286" unless they mixed 2 processor in one."A lot of people like us started gaming 20, 30 years ago, and we just stay with it," says 68-year-old Liam Murray.
