I still have the original discs of Gothic, Arx Fatalis, and some of the discs for the original Sacred.
I have been gaming since I had a Commodore 64 with the tape drive and the DOS style commands. So yeah I'm old .....

Commodore 64 was my first computer. I had the 1541 5¼ inch floppy drive, 1530 Datasette, 1670 Hayes Compatible Modem, and a Commodore Ram Expansion Unit (REU) for peripherals.

Ha! - ZX Spectrum for me - lets start up that age old argument again, which one was the best...;o)

If I could have afforded it at the time I would've had a ZX Spectrum and an Apple IIe in addtion to the C64. I was plagued in life with an unquenchable thirst for hardware that borders on the line of a fetish :)

Not sure how it indicates age; some people may have played consoles more the PC games.
I know that's a shock to some here ;)
I"ve owned alot of these games at one time or another, but due to things like enviormental conditions or rampaging nieces, nephews alot of them just don't exist or are way to scratched to play.
As for my age, I'm not ashamed: 33. W00t.

I'm not ashamed either. I'm 41 and been PC gaming for ~25 years.
I already had about 14 of the games available here. Bought 3 from here so far, planning to buy a few more - and waiting for a truckload of other titles to start appearing so I can pick up some games I missed, and repurchase others because the floppies died ages ago.

I'll be honest: there have been some surprises here that I didn't expect. The oddworld games come to mind; I'll have to pick those up. I do own the PS1 originals, but I'd rather just keep those in the cases. I can't wait to see what GOG has in store for us.
It's funny, I've seen people complain about 10 bucks for games (on here and other sites) but..come on...10 dollars is a meal. That is why this place is so awesome, if they keep the quality of the games up (Which game is quality often depends on the one playing the game, of course) and the prices between 6 and 10 bucks...plus the extras. It's awesome.
Anyway... Yeah I earned my 33 years so I'll never be ashamed of it :D

I'm 26 years old and was playing games since a very young age, Even through I got my first PC only in 1996. I already own the original Descent 1 As well as Freespace 1, F/A 18 (Got it via a magazine subscription and barely played it - don't care much for flightsims), as well as the entire Jagged Alliance and Operation Flashpoint series. Oh and Shogo too.
I also played many of the other games on the list through either lending or piracy.

^^ piracy is wrong. filth like you doesnt deserve anything but scorn.

ive had all the games on gog before. i still have a lot of them lying on dusty shelves.
but i buy some that are difficult to get working on xp or vista, either because of technical difficulties or through the sheer time needed for it.
i also buy games in the hope that games i actually didnt have at release will eventually appear.

Hey, custard, kindly get your corporation fellating head out of your rear end. I'm sure you feel all high and mighty for your participation in the capitalist system, but you're clearly not someone who participates in it by working in a sweatshop to have just barely enough food to survive.
I have bought plenty of games for years and will probably keep buying them for as long as I have the hobby. That doesn't changes the fact that I occasionally download a game or copy it from a friend. Some games are simply not worthy of a purchase, others just weren't released here (with a normal price or at all). I am the one in control of my computer, until the big buisness finally manages to defeat democracy like they do in the 3rd world.
Go shove your scorn where the sun don't shine! Who are you to call me filth?!

Wow! Your cheapo pong knockoff was so much fancier than the one I had. Mine was literally a black metal brick bigger than the PS1 with a coax out, power cable, 2 sliders and an on button. It didn't even keep score for you! Wish I still had it though, it could be used to kill burglars, the bastard was that damned heavy. Ahh late 70s engineering...
As for the original question, I'm 33 and I've got 10 originals of the games currently in the catalogue (I'm sort of cheating though, Patrician 3 isn't out yet and I only owned 1 of the battlechess games in that pack). It'd be a lot more if GOG had the back catalogue of Origin, Bullfrog, Microprose (I'm currently looking at my PC 5.25 floppy copy of Red Storm Rising), Lucasarts/Lucasfilm Games & EA before they started to suck.
As for the piracy argument, I have no problem with what I call "Day Piracy" to get a feel for the game (when demos aren't available which is becoming more common) before you drop way too much money on a cheap, short & unsatisfying experience. If I play it for more than a day, I buy it. I'm also a major supporter of DRM circumvention and noCDs FOR THINGS I LEGALLY OWN. I'm really tempted to buy Prince Of Persia (2008) on PC just because Ubi have released that without destructive DRM but the cynic in me can't help but be suspicious that they're only doing it to try and say "we tried to give it to you DRM free and people still pirated it so you're all thieves. Our games are now $20 more expensive and will require written permission before each session".

I've tried several of them through out the years, some I've only played demos of before I bought them here. I only had two or three of them from before. As for my age, I'm 19, and I've been gaming since I was 4, but it didn't really explode until I played DooM when I was 5.

I've played atari 2600 games and even zaxon from a tape drive on a vic20.

I guess I'll be the young one here, 14 years old ^_^ I've been gaming for about 10 good years now. I started off with PC games and my good old gameboy, Age of Empires (I'd loooooooooooove that to be on GOG) and Pokemon. Then I got a PS1 and was introduced to the majocal world of RPGs with Final Fantasy IX, which still remains my favourite games ever.

Oh man I had a hand me down vic 20 from my grandparents. I remember the tape drive games "Press start now." See the vic 20 was cool cause you didn't need a computer monitor..you could play it on ANY TV!
Heh. Man those were the days....
