    Eighty-Year-Old Woman Trains to Win Title of '' Oldest Video Game Champion''

    FAIRFIELD, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 25, 2005--She used to play poker and bridge with her 80-year-old girlfriends almost every night. Sometimes until four o'clock in the morning. And, her passion was shooting "craps" while on casino junkets.

    That is, until Billy Mitchell delivered a Q*bert arcade video game to her house.

    Now, Doris Self, of Fort Lauderdale, eats, drinks and sleeps Q*Bert, the classic video game from the early 1980s, practicing day and night. And, if she breaks the Q*bert record, she'll be history's oldest video game world champion.

    Me also. I cannot imagine throwing away the thrill of video games at any age. Only when my hands and eyes deteriate will it then be ok. I may have to go and freeze myself so I can play the PS15.
