I still enjoy the games and I'm 77. Seems to keep my hand eye co-ordination working well especially when I'm driving.

I don't blame you! To be honest, that whole video game scene has always bored me! A friend of mine once gave me a game, and I installed it on my computer. It simulated WWI aerial combat, with reasonably good graphics, showing the planes of that era. Okay, it was fun for a day or two, but then I 'shot down' the whole thing, LOL...

The newer video games suck! And this is from someone who also grew up on Asteroids ( one of the games I mastered! 
) Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Defender, Galaga, Centipede, Dig Dug, Tempest . . . these games were far superior, and a lot more fun. They weren't just people running around with guns arbitrarily shooting, killing and blowing up things! Don't worry if you had trouble playing or getting the hang of today's so-called video games. I doubt very much if that youngster could handle any of the games from our generation either, which require a lot more thinking and eye-to-hand coordination! I still play Tetris-II on my Ninento system! It's very relaxing while also mentally stimulating . . .
