Arcade Games-Who's Playing Them?
When you think of Arcade Games, a picture of young childrenaround the ages of 8 and up comes to my mind. Does it yours?Well, you're in for a surprise. How about a 35 year old woman?A 60 year old woman?
According to RealArcade, who is a leader in the Online Internet Arcade games, the demographic for their website are women from the age of 35 to the age of 60. They claim that 70% of their onlineplayers are in this group age category. It is difficult to bring the imageto my mind of a 60 year old woman blasting away at a lineup of army tanks, and shooting down as many of them as she can within a certain limit of time.
Out of curiosity, I went into their site and they have a lot more thanjust "shoot 'em up" games. As a Senior Citizen myself, I soon foundmyself playing some of the games and enjoying them immensely. Maybeit isn't so outrageous after all. I actually enjoyed some of the "shoot-'em-upgames, as well. They have all kinds of puzzling puzzler games and awesomeaction games. You also get a free present of a choice of two games in return for joining their 30 day-free trial. I think I'm going to sign up. Have I justbecome a statistic in the demographic of arcade games?
Talk about puzzling; I'm still agog over the demographic of womanbetween the ages of 35 and 60 being the dominant factor in the worldof Arcade games. You'll find a RealArcade website athttp://brandnameshoppingmall.com
