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. John V. Smith
