Retro Video Games

[Candy O]

How old were you when you first played video games? What retro games did you play?

I was 4 years old in may of 1993 when I first played Pac-Man. I liked eating up the ghosts. I also played Super Mario Bros. And Tetris on my original grey GameBoy!

Cool, Candy O!!   :-)

I used to play Space Invaders and Pac Man in the clubs and bars I went to in the 70's when I was in my twenties! LOL! I didn't play any video games at home until 1991 age 39, when I bought a game player for the TV that had Super Mario Bro's, and some other games. ;-) I don't remember the names of them though? LOL!

Back in the days when I was young and no video games were invented yet, I played games like Monopoly and Checkers and such. LOL! ;-)

This is a cool discussion idea, Candy O!
You were only FOUR when you first played a video game? I don't think I even knew what video games were at that age! LOL!!!
Back in the 90s, I used to play Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, and GameBoy (That's cool you had the original one in gray, mine was green)

And in the 2000s as technology advanced and I got older,
I started playing Playstation 2 (which also plays Playstation 1 games),
Nintendo Wii games and Computer CD-Rom games.

I'm so old fashioned that I still think card games, board games, and retro electronic games (like Pinball) are still the best! They have been around way before video games even existed! :-)
