Good stuff.

We didn't have FPS either. We had rock fights.
We had bottle rocket wars! Yes, real bottle rockets. And we would shoot them at each other.

Hell, we still do that!

Inflicting pain on your friends is still hilarious where I'm from.

We had those crazy CD-ROMs when I was a kid!

Remember those?

We didn't have any fancy PlayStation or Xbox video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like "Space Invaders" and "Asteroids." Your screen guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen -- forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like lfe!

That didn't come around for quite a few years. Computers were the size of a small house. We actually had to go outside and play, some of our playgrounds resembled the scenery in your games. I for one played in bombed out buildings from WWII in 1950's Germany.
