When researching a timeline of video gaming, I learned that video gaming has come a long way since I was little. I rememberd Pong, from around 1975 and certainly remembered Space Invaders from 1978. I spent alot of money in that machine at the arcade. Other than places like Dave and Buster’s, there really aren’t any arcades like there used to be. My wife’s first memory of video games was Asteroids. She wasn’t as much into games as I was. After about Sega and Nintendo from the early 90’s, I lost touch with video games. Now, while doing things in Second Life, the gaming world here seems confusing and impersonal. I miss the days of Donkey Kong, Tetris, and my beloved sports games. Just think how computers have taken over gaming. Back in 1983 Home Computers were introduced to society. Also in ‘83 (6/24/83) the Space Shuttle Challenger would return safetly from space and land at Edwards Airforce Base.
