That's one thing I love about my son - he's just a gamer at heart, he loves everything. He'll still play 'Pole Position,' or just old things at an arcade. He just loves games. He's not a graphics snob at all. I love him.
When I was little, we used to have Atari.
Dude, I've been a gamer ever since Intellivision.
When I was a kid, I had an Atari 2600, and I would play Pac Man, Frogger, all that kind of stuff. And I did enjoy going to the arcade.
I do really well in the traditional board games: Backgammon, Checkers.
Tecmo Bowl' was the best game ever.
I grew up on classic Nintendo, which was amazing. My best friends were hardcore into it.
Years and years ago, I did a game based on 'Hitchhiker's Guide' with a company called Infocom, which was a great company. They were doing witty, intelligent, literate games based on text.
I really like arcade games and like the '80s and early '90s kind of games, just because there's a real kind of naivete to them, but there's like a real inventiveness to it as well.
As for my favorite games growing up, if I were to mention a game other than 'Gradius', it would have to be 'Xevious'.
For young players, classic games are brand new. For others, they are a way to feel young again.
I think, pretty much like everyone around my age, I grew up playing those classic video games. I wouldn't say I was addicted to them, but I definitely liked them.
My knowledge of video games ends with Nintendo 'Mario Bros.'
When I was young, I was on a real hot streak with 'Crazy Climber.' There was a good three-week span where I couldn't get that game out of my head. I could not get back to the arcade fast enough to try and climb up there and not get kicked by a potted plant this time. That one got under my skin.
When I was a kid, we never had a videogame in my house. But my cousin did, and each time I went to her house I was able to play 'Tetris' and 'Mario.' Those were the only two games I played as a child.
The last time I played video games was 'Space Invaders.'
My favourite game is 'The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past.'
For young players, classic games are brand new. For older players, they bring back memories and make you feel good.
I watch old 'Truth or Consequences' on Hulu. 'Concentration.' And 'The Match Game' with Gene Rayburn.
As a kid, when the neighbors were out playing street hockey or tackle football, my friends and I were in my basement with the NES/SNES.
I have a Wii at home that I mainly play 'Punch-Out!' on.
Games like 'Call of Duty' and 'NBA Baller Beats' have so much to them. I was more of the 'Pac-Man' generation where we were excited to play table tennis on the TV.
As a kid growing up, I was a huge gamer - The NES, SuperNES, N64, GameCube - and I had a GameBoy, which went everywhere with me.
I've been a fan of video games since the old school, I even have a lot of the old school arcade games at my house.
I've watched with a kind of wary eye how gaming has progressed. I was there at the beginning with Pong in the arcade, and a lot of my great childhood memories were around a 'Tempest' machine.
