The kids left Nancy Drew games on our computer. That makes me hard core!
I used to love to play pinball when I was a kid although I could not afford to play a lot.
I wonder if there is a reasonably priced digital version.
I still play Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior on my PC.
I only try some crossword puzzles and kenken.
I have Wolfenstein Collossus on my XBOX ONE X..dang that game, the scene with the killing of the dog is BRUTAL!! Bought the game on sale at Best Buy on Black Friday..Wasnt going to buy it since Bethesda went anti Trump with their “There is only one side” slogan but still the game is fun
EVE Online since 2013. Mind boggling complexity. Amazing beauty. No endgame. No scripts. No one “wins” EVE. You can only participate.
Extreme level sudoku puzzles, building a room in the basement, purchasing repairing and re selling various household items off the web, writing (in long hand cursive) letters to various folks.
Cooking dinner, canning various fruits and veggies, designing and manufacturing a catalytic woodstove, cutting and stacking firewood for same, keeping house.
Oh yeah, I work full-time, too.
Who has time for video games?
Civilization V
Aces High WW2 combat vs a couple hundred players in one big arena. Fly planes, drive tanks, PT boats, carriers, cruisers. Keeps the brain firing.
As far as a workout for my mind, it's mostly just an exercise in humility.
Chess. Face to face with a real human probably is the best game to play to keep the mind working well.
When I was a kid, my grades would go way up in those periods where my father would play a few games of chess with me during the week. Decades later, after he came down with Alzheimer’s he seemed to do much better overall, when we started playing chess again, although it was sometimes difficult to get him to keep his mind on the game.
Any of you guys play World of Tanks or Blitz??
Tetris!!
Around 1984 I bought a hand held “space invaders” at Best Products. It was on clearance and I think maybe a quarter of original price. It too 2 C batteries and they lasted a long time.
I got really hooked on it and found myself playing it long enough to start seeing things and then I would quit. It was around 12 inches by 10 inches and maybe and inch and 3/4 thick. The buttons were well placed and it was easy to use.
Around 25 years ago I found it in storage and gave it to my Daughter. She in turn stored it until recently when her Son found it, added batteries and started playing it.
She told me he got so hooked on it that she had to make him
quit. He is 13.
I got my 70-year-old dad hooked on Battlefield One. My mom may disown me.
Blueberries are brain food.
Been playing Elder Scrolls 4, Oblivion on my XBox. Kind of fun but had to have my teen daughter help me on a level. lol
I’m going to play Skyrim when I finish.
