    I’ve been playing video games since they existed and I’m in my 50s. There are plenty of people older than me who can say the same.

      The reason kids have the games they have is because we were playing games in the 80s on Atari 800s that you had to type into basic from Compute magazine

        I wrote a choose your own adventure game in basic in the '80s. Had to save it on audio cassette and play the audio back to load it. You can’t do much with 2k memory but I still wrote like six endings.

      I had a friend online who was a gamer grandma until she passed. She was the sweetest person and such fun to play with, may she rest in peace.
