As a more mature gamer,or not as the case may be,I can remember back to the days when gameing was really only in it's infancy.And to say the least in comparison with todays powerful consoles they were were very much just dinosaurs.And to be able to get to play them you had to goto the local youth club or the greasy spoon on near by dual carridgeway.There were still the greats of the time like Defender,Astro wars and the one and only Space invaders{even if it was a bit basic}.But the bad thing about all these games was the fact you couldn't lay you're hands on them until the weekends or one evening a week.
Now since the advent of the modern console you can get to play you're favorite games any time you like where you like.Don't get me wrong there was the odd console around,though state of the art at the time the games were very basic,games such as that tennis game with two oblongs and a square ball "SERIOUSLY"!!!.Well to be honest I couldn't be bothered with that tripe and I saved my money up for the weekends.
So today we gamers are so lucky to be able to play our favourite games just where and we like,and what a great leveler it is to bringing young and older gaamers together,theres nothing I like more than being able to thrash my nephews at Tekken or Gran Turismo while visiting my sister and as I've got alot of the latest games they can't wait for me to show up.
So Im not really worried about the console war that is going on around me and what format is the most powerful,if you'd seen the tosh that was about when I was a youngster you'd feel much the same way!.
Cheers ARTY.
