> If I had access to a computer at 9 I'm not sure I'd be making games so much as playing them.

I was 10 or 11 when I wrote my first (and only?) game, but A: it was dead simple, and B: I didn't have YouTube, Netflix, and an infinite variety of games a click away to distract me.

I'm impressed with any kids today that can withstand the siren call of distractions on the Internet. I doubt I'd even survive high school today.
