27 (in March)
PS2 (GTA3, Devil May Cry, SSX Tricky)
XB (DOA3, Halo)
Dreamcast (So many cheap games...cannot resist. Plus, I used to work for Sega, so it's got a soft spot in my heart)
GameCube (Super Smash Bros)
I'll never be to old to play games, I hope! I've owned virtually every system from the Atari 2600 on (yes, even Colecovision), with the exception of the Jaguar, Turbo-Grafx, and N64, and still have most of them, even though they never get played anymore.
Edited to add my new GameCube to the list.

28 (as of today)
My primary gaming happens on a PC.
I have a Dreamcast an Xbox and an Atari 2600
My roommate has a PS2 which I play with too.
I think you're too old when your kids tell you that you're too old... when that happens, you sell your kids to the highest bidder on the black market and go buy a few games with the money.

Almost 32.
The PS2 is the only next-gen system I own right now, and it's been keeping me plenty busy. GTAIII kept me busy for several months. Surprisingly, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance has almost kept me just as busy (I just finished the game in Extreme mode, and I feel like it's one of my better vg-related accomplishments Ace Combat 4 is just about complete, and I've got to get back to Splashdown as well.

PC and PS2 gaming:
PS2: GTAIII, Tony Hawk, Twisted Metal: Black, and I'll pick up State of Emergency and FFX as soon as I get some free time
PC: No One Lives Forever and Medal of Honor right now, I'll get Soldier of Fortune II and Unreal II when they come out.
You are NEVER too old to game. Just accept it

I'll be 30 come 2/23.
My PC keeps me extremely busy (wolfenstein and MOH:AA specifically)
And my X-Box has been vying for my time as well (Halo and SH2:RD)

Wow! Who would have thought that I was the youngest gamer here! I'm 19, but I'm no newbie. I've been playing since the golden days of the NES. I still have it actually. NES, SNES, PSX, N64, Dreamcast, Gamecube. Let's keep the good times rolling

28 with all four systems and a GBA. I heard a report on CNBC about the game battle for Chritmas sales and they said the average age for gamers was 28 so that made me smile.
