Nah, I was way older than eight when the game came out, but it was the first 3D Sonic game I played, the first time I got to see any real personality from the game characters. A lot of his mannerisms and the way he acts are how I would consider an eight year old to act; he's optimistic, enthusiastic, very dependant on Sonic, his "big brother", and his voice seems more consistent with an eight year old, than, say and twelve year old.

With that said, I still considered Tails to be a lot younger than Sonic in the 2D games, due to his size and they way he was animated, of course I was very young then so I had no proper concept of age, but I thought he was younger than Sonic.

Also, I feel as though I should point out that Tails' age was listed as eight way before Sonic Heroes came out.
