Nice exercise. Similarly I learned most about basic computer architecture by programing 8050 in ASM as well as C.
And I'm 32. Am I old yet? I'm not right? Right?

I remember playing Halo in my early 20's, and chatting with a guy from LA who was 34. Wow, he's so old, why was he still playing video games.
Here I sit in my late 30's...still playing games when I have time, denying that I'm old, despite the noises I make getting up and random aches and pains.
- I have mostly no joy playing video games anymore these days.
- I found myself refusing some contemporary stuff in favour of stuff "I am used to".
Damn! I was always looking at my dad, not understanding that very same things :) Now I am a dad myself...
Re: video games, I had a similar experience but play for different reasons. I used to have fun blasting people and chatting on xbox live... don't enjoy any of that anymore. All single player for me, and no FPS. A cool physics game like Rocket League(admittedly, not single player), or a puzzle game like The Turing Test, or a mystery game like Kona are way more interesting to me than say, Call of Duty.
Yes, but being old isn't bad. I, for one, long for the day when I'll be unable to produce and contribute to society.
