The first game I played was Space Invaders in my dad’s local pub, he took me specifically to see and experience it.
The first to play at home was a variant of the grandstand 5000.
Then I played an atari 2600 at a cousin’s house, and I fell in love with centipede.
Notice how almost all social media sites are now offering, or considering offering, paid ‘blue checkmark’ options? Yeah, seems that us plebians didn’t factor into the ‘OMG, that’s awesome’ reaction from the CEOs.

The constant thirst is one of the handful of cardinal sins of reddit, porn subreddits encourage it.
I enjoyed ‘Creatures’ back in the day, I saw a few weeks ago that some mega pack of it came out on one of the platforms - I can’t remember if it was Steam or GoG, or perhaps both - but I can’t really justify it enough with simple nostalgia when it’s still really a 20+ year old game.
