Over the past few months I've shown you how to help keep your computer happy and healthy. Now that all that work is done—and your computer thanks you for it— it's time to have some fun!
Not Just for Kids
There are 82.5 million people who frequently enjoy online gaming, and 17 percent of these people are over the age of 55. Many older Americans are finding their way into online gaming, and they are meeting new people and having lots of fun. Roger of Connecticut says, “I find that gaming can be for people of all ages and that it’s really cool to show the younger players that gaming doesn't practice age discrimination.”
I often play a game online with Roger called “Unreal Tournament.” His zany antics and funny screen name first led me to believe that he was a teenager. Roger handed me many defeats and I admit that I felt much better knowing I wasn’t getting beaten by a teenager. The two of us have become great online gaming buddies and that is one of the reasons many people begin playing online in the first place.
Types of Games
Some of the most popular games on the Internet are your old favorites adapted to the Web. Gin, poker, spades and bridge are just a few of the thousands of games on the Internet that you can play with friends, family, or with complete strangers sitting in front of their computers in Tangiers.
