I can remember when my grandmother got her first nintendo now she has the wii and the wii sports disk I think she is going to have to replace due to over use.

I hate it when I can't play games on my pc. I just built my girlfriends son one out of parts I had laying around. now I have to build his sister one. Its a good thing friends like me to rip the goods out of there old dead pcs for my parts pile. hehehe I even got a working ps2 which is number 3 in the house thats made out o 3 junk ps2s. I like ddr because it makes all them kids get up and dance

back when they had the problem with ps2 dvd drives dieing my freinds got one that had been drop in a pool off e-bay and we popped in the dvd drive and it worked untill two days after he got his ps3. so that gave me the idea of going throught the juch ones I had (the one that went swiming was one of them. the thing works great. I love modding pcs right now much to my girlfriends sadness I am looking at upgrading my laptop from 2gb to 4gb and getting a second hd for it.

Hi lil, I was "gaming" when the only game in town was pinball machines as Video games hadn't come along yet. I remember they introduced this new table game called air hockey and that was the thing. It wasn't long before Pong came on the scene and the quarters were leaving my pocket. In about 1979 or 80 the quarters were being dumped into Space Invaders. It was in 1983 when I bought a Commodore 64 and thought that was the greatest thing since sliced bread. In 1985 I "moved up" to a Commodore 128. Those old 8 bit games were something else. I was only playing from time to time after a while as I was involved in other things. My Nephew got a new Gameboy Color with a bunch of Pokemon games and one Zelda game. It was Oracle of the Seasons and within a month he had the companion game Oracle of the Ages. I was hooked. He got a Gameboy Advance and the an Advance SP. Another game came along called Golden Sun and got addicted to that. Waiting 5 months for part 2 of the game was terrible. Anyway I have been hooked since the first Zelda game and haven't looked back. As for the age thing, don't tell my barber, she thinks I'm 40. coastie65

I'm a little late to the discussion but here's my vote for the Wii. I purchased one at WalMart last month and there's hardly been a day my wife & I haven't been on it. My eight- & nine-year-old great nephews love their Wii.

I'm hooked on the golf game, my wife kills in bowling. And when we feel a bit sedentary (we're both retired) we play a trivia game. I find the ease of play, game options and physical excercise appealing features of the game.
