So what does playing Bomberman every day for 26 years get you? Other than the ability to beat it with your eyes closed and the undying respect of anyone who's every picked up a gamepad, it gets you a few nifty health benefits. Narisawa credits her daily Bomberman sessions with helping keep her mind sharp and her fingers strong enough to still thread needles.


Gotta say, that's pretty awesome. :touched:

That is pretty awesome. I've always wondered if playing games to and through old age would keep your mind a bit more alive and alert, I guess so.

The link to that 85-year-old Wii champion was awesome too.

Old people playing games is just pure win.

Wow, that's so cool! I wish my granny was like that! :P

I guess it just proves once again that age is just a number.

I don't know what's more impressive, her or the apparent 85 year old with 2,850 perfect games of Wii bowling. :o

My grandmother plays Fallout 3, and recently went on my cousins GTAIV account and proved that tractor trailers rule!
