I have been called out by the dastardly Dirk Galaxy @sequentialvibe to contribute the Steemit Gaming Challenge: Why Games Are Good challenge, where we talk about 4 games that defined our lives. I have been looking to post more about gaming and here is an immediate opportunity!

Back at the dawn of digital gaming...

  1. Pac-Man: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-Man This strange cabinet kept popping up and started everything.
  2. Space Invaders: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Invaders It showed up at home and changed everything....if you could manage to get dad off the controller.
  3. Oregon Trail: The school was the only group rich enough for a mobile computer. Old-school adventure.
  4. Ultima Online https://uo.com/ Single player turned to multiplayer turned to co-op turned to PVP turned MASSIVE.

It is quite a jump from 3-4 but I can list any games without bringing up the best of them all.

Wow I need some retro time! Ok now who should I challenge?
@whatageek
@parabyte
@kleric-lod

PLEASE DON'T FEEL YOU HAVE TO DO THIS!

Revenge will be sweet for @sequentialvibe for calling me out!

Happy Friday all and STAY RETRO!

Sort:  

Pong?

Pong in the arcade really started it all. Wasn't Wasniak involved in that one?

Googled it. Yes he was, along with Steve Jobs and others.

Very cool! Those guys were involved before the beginning!

Yes, you might even say they were the beginning. I see so many people who want to be the known innovators. These guys have been in their own lifetime, very rare. At the pace technology is going, I guess that will become more commonplace.

There is that. Had one of those garage sale special consoles that were monochrome. Solid!

Thinking about those days makes me smile...

Awesome selections. Tough to keep it at four isn't it! Thanks for responding :)
