I'm old. Last game I played was Super Mario when it came out. I never won a game and quit playing. All these other games you guys are talking about is way over my head.

Funny enough i have yet to try Fortnite. Last multiplayer game i was playing on console was PUBG. As for PC that would be Warframe and Crossout. We have a Halo 5 edition Xbox one, Xbox One X, Xbox 360, PS3 an PS4 pro in our place. Currently the 360 and PS3 are packed away till i can set up a dedicated tv for them.

Started with an Atari, then a commodore 64 with a 14.4 baud modem and BBS sites. From there I remember my older brother coming home with a Sega CD, and following that a Super NES. I have my original PS1 packed away somewhere, and currently have the PS3 set up for DVD's and such. Don't play much in the way of video games. I've never been into the MMP scene, not since I learned how to hold a wrench (or, more often than not, a hammer) and how to work on things with moving parts. As far as I'm concerned, everything that happens inside that little computer box is black magic and witchcraft.

Quarter machines when I was playing them in the early 80's.

They had a few "Nickle machines" at the arcade near my cousins house when he lived in a small town in Nebraska... but all I had growing up was quarter machines also (late 80's early 90's)

I said I was old. Back in the sixties, I used to scour ditches for returnable pop bottles to get enough money for a couple of games.

I did the same thing in the late 70's and 80's except I traded 20 bottles for a hot dog and Dr. Pepper. I'll never forget Mr. and Mrs. Harris and their little grocery store with the hotdog and hamburger stand inside. They were really great people and cared about our little community. They would drop a few extra pieces of candy in our bags. I miss the old days.
