    I'm big into gaming, but I haven't got around to those yet. Do you play any others?

      Tom:

      I believe we're the same age. I used to game (of course, we didn't have a name for it back then...), but I'm just not into it like I used to be other than an occasional game of Madden.

      What keeps your interest these days?

        I can understand that (about you not being into it as much). I was hooked right from my first console (forget its name) and my Acorn Electron computer. I remember being disappointed that the Acorn wouldn't play the games for some reason, so I stayed up all night coding a tennis game from the back of the Basic manual. In the back of the manual, you had a bunch of code to make different games. Didn't understand a word of it (and never learned) but I diligently tapped it out and was thrilled that it worked. It was that game where you have two thick lines on either side of the screen - your tennis rackets - and a big boxy ball of a thing you'd whack in between them. Well, long and boring story not remotely short, I think I was hooked from that point, and it was adventure games (like Sphinx Adventure, a text-based treasure hunting game) that really sealed the deal. I liked the escape. It was like a book, of course, but an interactive escape, and at the time I was really into that in book form, too (reading things like the Lone Wolf choose your own adventure series).

        As of the age of about 10 to 12, I don't think games have held the same magic, which is why I can see (perhaps in your own case) how they can lose appeal. With me, I think it's probably down to the magic of something being brand new. Before the console and that Acorn, the closest thing I'd ever played were things like board games. Well, fast forward to 2018, and I've never stopped being a gamer (you're right; we didn't have that term!), so I'm a bit desensitised and the magic isn't quite there. Still, though, I'm totally hooked. I'm mostly into open world games (I'll whack down my current playing list down below) and I think it's because of that old sense of escape. I don't really like to be too badly challenged by a game (real life is challenging enough lol); I just like the same escape I get from books; to disappear into different worlds that I either can't get to from here or where I wouldn't be brave enough to get to even if I could. The other part of the appeal for me is work. I work in gaming quite a bit of the time.

        Here's what I'm playing this month:

        Xbox One X:

        - Rise of the Tomb Raider
        - Forza
        - Call of Duty WW2
        - Cuphead
        - Wolfenstein II
        - Far Cry 4

        PS 4 Pro:

        - Uncharted 4

        PC:

        - PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds
        - Fallout 4 (modded)
        - Skyrim Special Edition (modded)
        - Minecraft
        - Survival Craft
        - GTA 5: Online

        The only one I don't recommend playing (unless you want to lose marbles or turn to drink) is Cuphead. Beautiful art design but infuriating as hell. If you like, let me know what you might be into (genre) and platform, and I'd be happy to hurl out some suggestions. Oh, and if yourself or anyone wants to save a buck: G2A.com.

        Cheers,

        Tom

          I used to code Basic games, too. I had a subscription to a magazine (K-Byte or something like that) that had code for various things. I started with simply transcribing the code to eventually modding it. Then my dad, in his infinite computing wisdom, bought me a ColecoVision Adam, rather than the Apple IIe that I'd asked for, and my computing fascination ground to a halt until I traded the rims on my bike for an 8 bit Nintendo.

          I can certainly appreciate this.

          I've always played more sports games than anything else. In fact, I don't think I've purchased a non-sports game in 25 years.

          I'd probably be more interested in strategy/puzzle-based games than shooters. My life is stressful enough without spending my free time trying not to get virtual-murdered.

            That 8-bit NES was the Cadillac! I didn't have it in the early '80s so I treated myself about 15 years ago. I still pull it out from time to time.

            Oh, I remember the joy of parental computing wisdom. In my case it was a Sega Master System that I sold and upgraded to a Mega Drive. (I think it might have been called a Sega Genesis in the States.)

            Check out EA Access.

            That's the UK link but there's probably something you can click for U.S, if it doesn't take you there already. It's a decent deal and it has your Madden. Might be a few other sporty games there you like. Outside of sports, you might like this for a different type of strategy: Civilisation VI.

            See what you started, DURABLEOILCOM!!

          Just as you never say, "I believe we're the same weight" (unless you're at the zoo).

    If anyone is looking for a fun strategy game on your mobile, there is a board game called Summoner Wars (Not Summoners War - that is a different game), by Plaid Hat games. They made a fantastic port to mobile app for it.

    It is kind of hard to explain, but it is sort of like chess, but with fantasy armies. Maybe a little bit like that 3-D holographic chess game in the first Star Wars movie.

    I like it as a distraction that is not a huge time vampire because you can play against other people in a you go, they go format. You do your turn, then when they have a chance they do their turn. It goes back and forth like that. You don't have to sit down and complete a whole game all at once.

    I've also played a lot of military strategy games over the years. American Civil War and Napoleonic games are probably my favorite.

    Super Mario is the game of choice for me, and always has been after drooling at the first one aens ago.

    The latest one for Gameboy is beautiful and certainly still has the magic.

    Zelda too for that matter, but Zelda has bugs and excessively hard levels half way through, Windwaker was the last one, l got all of the way through.

    Twilight Princess, because of a bug, l got half way through and that was it.
