72-year-old retired debt recovery officer Bridget Odlin plays way more games than you do, reports Metro<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“Ever since Super Mario came out, I\u2019ve 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\u2019t get off it.”<\/p>\n

“My friend plays. She\u2019s my age and I\u2019ll go round to hers and have a game.”<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s a lot of older people who like to play, but some can\u2019t do it all.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
