I know a lot that are in their 20's and 30's (even late 30's), I suppose because that is the generation that started to grow up with those.

Excellent taste! Nothing like endless problem solving and some solid humor. 8-)
If you like games that make you think, this online freebie is great!

(Looking forward to the creator of Wing Commander's new game Star Citizen).
Star Citizen - so much promise but that's gonna be Vaporware forever.

Agreed. We had a group a few years back that would get on and we would play black ops together. Group consisted of a couple bishops a couple of high counselors, young men's president etc. it's a generation thing. Waste of time , yup, but I kind of look at it as a brotherhood. We don't really play any more but often get together and discuss gospel subjects over lunch.

Well, I probably had way more games than I needed as a kid (though most of them were hand-me-downs from relatives, or bought used or at a discount). My uncle gave me his SNES when I was 7, so the first games I played were Super Mario World and the DKC games, which hold a very special place in my heart. I had the manual for A Link to the Past, though no cartridge, so I was stuck with just the manual (which is beautifully drawn) until I eventually got the game and went on to play most of the Zelda games. I've also had the 16-bit Sonic games, Chrono Trigger and some Final Fantasy games.

When I was even younger (starting around 4) I also had some of the Humongous adventure games (Putt-putt, Freddi Fish, Spy Fox, etc) after we got our first computer. These were fantastic (especially the Pajama Sam games, which are still probably some of the most imaginative kid's games you can buy).

I've played video games since I was very little. My older brother bought an NES when I was 4 or 5 and from there I have played every Nintendo console.

There are too many games to name that I love. My favorite franchise is Zelda, with Mario being a very close second. I've played every Zelda game aside of the original Zelda for the NES and Majoras Mask. A couple years ago I went to the Zelda: Symphony of the Godesses concert at Abravanel Hall. That was by far my favorite concert I've been too. Such good music. I also just recently beat Breath of the Wild, which was an amazing game.

I've played nearly every Mario (including all Mario Karts) from the NES to now. I am really excited for Odyssey to come out next month.

When it comes to nostalgia though, aside of Mario and Zelda (since there are too many to name), here are some of my favorites:

Dragon Warrior, Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country (1,2,3), Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Little Nemo, Golden Eye, Perfect Dark, Street Fighter 2, Halo 2, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, Warcraft 2, Luigis Mansion.... etc. This is definitely not all, but a few that I could think of off the top of my head..

The only time I play them is when I have a bunch of friends over.
We get pizza, yammer about all sorts of things and (sometimes) play video games, though board games work too.
By myself it's not too fun, I liked them as a kid, mostly sports games since I was terrible at actual sports lol.
