Electronic Games

As some of you have probably realised, I was born before electronic games really took off in the world.  The games were (to me anyway) painfully slow and annoying.  I mean, why do something slow and frustrating and noisy when you could get a book and read it without stopping or making a racket that everybody in the household could hear?

I will admit a little of my friends really didn’t mind as much as I did, I think they just became more content with technology before I did.  With books available, I simply wasn’t interested.

When I went to University, of course most things were meant to be done on a computer and my friend persuaded my father to get me a desktop that I would find easy to use.  I was SO grateful she had done so.  I must admit, I used to turn up to her house and tell her I couldn’t do….whatever it was and she would ask me why and suddenly I found the answer!

I must admit, I played quite a lot of Solitaire on the computer but that was really the only game I tried for years.  Oh, I nearly forgot, the one with the bricks falling down in different patterns and you had to get them in the right place to make rows that would be deleted.

So when I came up to Scotland and met Kevin (who plays all sorts of games), I was persuaded to be a “little” adventurous and I realised that for me, the games needed to be single player, simple games.  In fact, the one I have played most successively is Family Island.

TREASURE

Electronic games can be a bit of nightmare to navigate, but once I found one that I don’t get tired of playing is Family Island.
