I was about 24-25. Had never played Xbox, but game magazines were raving that the wait was finally over for PC players to experience Halo. I picked up the game thanks to the hype, and wasn't disappointed. I think "enchanted" might be a good word. It took me several PC's to be able to run it smoothly, but I was hooked.... now if only Halo 2 for PC had been as magical.
