Fellow Netters,
With all of this discussion about the typical age of video game players
going on these days, I think it's time that we attempted to settle this
question along with a few others. Yes, I'm proposing a survey. Any kind
of video game related information that any of us find interesting can be
accumulated this way.
All survey topic suggestions are welcome. I myself would like to suggest
that we accumulate information on the following:
player age
most popular games
highest scores on these games
$$ spent on games (yearly, weekly, whatever)
playing frequency
These are things that I'm interested in and I'm probably not alone. This
list is not written in stone of course. I think this survey should stick
to arcade type games since home video games are a whole different thing
(perhaps we could have a seperate survey for them). I'm willing to volunteer
my services as surveyor and data collecter. I will summarize all response
to me and later post it to the net.
First let's come up with a questioner (which I will post). Once we come
up with a standard set of questions I'll start collecting info.
Tell me what you think.
