Dragon age is…. Old?

Origins was released in ‘09. So was windows 7.

2009 was almost 15 years ago

It is closer to the release of the first Doom than it is to today.

Uhm. Doom was originally released in 1993. 30 years ago. Dragon age Origins was released in 2009. 14 years ago.

So...
Not quite. got a couple years before that's true.

FWIW, the first game I beat was the OG legend of zelda. I was 7, it was my dad's game and i wasn't supposed to be playing it for some reason. I got caught when my dad was strugling on the puzzles in the water temple and I gave some helpful advice.... ("We won't tell mom about this. now where did you say I go?")

the first PC game I got heavily into was Age of Empires, though, a lot of my friends played starcraft, and insisted it was better than AoE; so I played one game with them. (They were all so very patronizing.... so I let them be patronizing and then turned my ally to hostile and carpet-nuked the entire map.) (yeah. I went back to AoE after that, lol.)

my bad. I had 1996 in my memory, but that was the first Quake.

incidentally, I noticed that the doom comics were issued in '96 when I was double checking my facts. It's maybe annoying that I'm old enough to remember sneaking a copy of it
