I wonder if you would still feel that way today.
One of the realities that plague video game designers is the fact that as we age one of the first skills that is lost is what is known as "fine motor control," especially in the hands. FMC does not refer to reaction time; it has to do with the ability to make small, discrete movements as opposed to large sweeping ones. People who suffer from poor FMC often appear to be "overreacting" physically to the stimulus but it's not a reaction problem.
I think I would. Landing on a carrier, which was my most demanding task, demands small precise control movements, not sweeping ones. At my age, 74, I clearly do not have the same ability to do fine work such as drawing with a pencil but I believe that I still have the same ability to sense pressure. I don't play computer games nor do I even have a "joy stick" on any of my computers but the very few times I tried one, I found it difficult because the stick moved and I had no tactile feedback. For the same reason, I have always disliked a mouse.
