With Fondness: My Fave Video Games
I was watching a film the other day and, during a chase scene, I was reminded of some old PC games that I used to play. Nostalgia kicked in and I started to reminisce of my childhood and youth. I came to realize how much of a gamer I was and just how popular video games were in the 80s. I certainly didn’t master any games but I played a pretty wide variety of games on several platforms. Strollin’ down memory lane…
Game Systems I Have Owned:
- SEGA Master System
- SEGA Game Gear
- SEGA Genesis
- Super Nintendo
- Sony Playstation
- Sony PSOne
- Sony Playstation 3
+ several custom-built PCs (386-i7)
