It’s hard to imagine a world without video games. For some, they’re a simple diversion — a way to pass time. For others, they’re a portal to strange and wonderful alternate universes. For everyone, whether you’re into video games or not, they’re an integrally important part of our culture.

When my sons were growing up, video games were the way to entertain ourselves.   We ran the gamut from Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64 before we bought a computer capable of playing games online.

I don't know about anyone else, but I found some of the hardest games ever were the ones made for the original Nintendo.

The hardest game I have ever played and could never win unless I had cheat-cheats was "Snake, Rattle, and Roll".
