By my rather lengthy post, you'd think I had the game bug, but not really. I had to take care of cows, build fence, haul hay, mow 5 acres, cut, haul, split, and stack firewood, stayed busy with sports throughout the school year, and was a commercial roofer in the summers. In my day, video games were just something to do after work/chores were done and bedtime, which was not very long at my house, but it was fun. We only got about 5 TV channels on the antenna out in the boonies, so games were an alternative while the folks watched the boring news. We had the big TV in the living room and a about a 12-14 inch black and white Montgomery Ward TV for the Nintendo until I bought a color TV with my roofing money when I was about 16 yo. Good times indeed.

Not knocking gaming, it's just that particular hobby never really grabbed me. That's all!

God I love your avatar. I don't even need games when that thing is on the screen. It's mesmerizing. LOL.

Does it animate for you or anyone else anymore? I miss those days and a surprising number of people miss my avatar too

For me it only animates if I click on it, otherwise static.

Animated just fine in Tapatalk now that they do that. I guess folks use the nasty web interface?

Put me in that camp. No animation and I miss it.
Cool. Thanks for the tip.

My favorite was Defender. The one that always sticks in my head was Adventure, although it's not really a video game since it was text based. My father worked for Comshare, a computer time vendor in the 70's and would bring home a terminal that the phone headset plugged into to work from home and my brothers and I hogged it as much as possible.
