Introducing people to something wonderful.
Been a fan since Speccy/NES days.

Met my wife about 15 years ago.
Last year she got her first smart phone at 57. Introduced her to Candy Crush, Bubblewich etc.
Watched her progress and amazed how her addiction has played out – exactly how mine did at 11.
🙂

She’s now discovered my DS, with Super Mario World, Mario Kart etc.
Blown away with the gameplay and utterly addicted.

No massive point to this, other than gameplay is king.
Brilliant games remain brilliant.
A 58 year old and her 4 year old granddaughter are currently as obsessed by A Link To The Past as I was.

Good stuff! The missus got me a 360 the other Christmas, I have to say it left me cold.

I went back to my old Nintendo stuff, it’s just more fun. Currently binging on N64 as I got an Everdrive for it, sorted.

Yeah I’m too left cold by modern games. Too much story and not enough gameplay. Every game is a shooter like every game was a platformer in the early 90s.
My PS4 doesn’t get used but my desire to play up to PS2 era games persists.
