This 72-year old grandmother plays more games than you do

28 September 2016

72-year-old retired debt recovery officer Bridget Odlin plays way more games than you do, reports Metro.

The grandmother of 9, who has been playing games for most of her life even recently underwent a corrective eye surgery so that she could continue playing later in life.

“Ever since Super Mario came out, I’ve just loved playing them,” says Bridget. “We bought my son one for his birthday one March and by Christmas, my husband had to buy another for me because I wouldn’t get off it.”

“My friend plays. She’s my age and I’ll go round to hers and have a game.”

“There’s a lot of older people who like to play, but some can’t do it all.”
