There is a saying about science fiction: The golden age of science fiction is twelve.
I think the same applies to role-playing games. Right around the age of twelve or thirteen is when I enjoyed rpgs the most and the time I look back on most fondly. As much as I enjoy them now, it doesn't seem to hold a candle to then.
I agree, fantasy rpgs are a real spark for the imagination of a thirteen year old. I began playing D&D around 12 or 13 years old and it's a bit of that spark that keeps us returning to the game table.
