Peter Svensson Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I used to play Combat Mission quite a bit, but haven't had time the last six months or so, in part of because of a greater load at work. I'm a business reporter for the Associated Press, and now I need some help with a trend story on older gamers. If you're born between 1946 and 1964, play computer games regularly, and are willing to talk about it, could you send me an e-mail? I'd like to talk about why you play, how your friends and family view it, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoop88 Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Peter: Good luck with your story. I worked for a daily in St. Louis for 8 years and did a lot of stringing for AP, so I can appreciate your job! I fit the age group you are looking for ... started playing Avalon Hill board war games back in 1965, and computer wargames since the mid-1990s. But I see you have enough responses from others. Maybe you could post the story or provide a link to it after it's on the wires? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
