To me a good game is an experience to immerse myself in, and for some reason I have never managed to do so on portable devices such as mobile phones.<p>I played my first videogames on an Atari 2600. I remember Defender, Space Invaders, Night Driver, Pac Man, Adventure and River Raid. Then Super Mario Bros, Zelda, Battle City, and a multitude of titles on those &#x27;1000 games&#x27; Japanese cartridges with physical switches on NES and later SNES, many of these in [black and white][1]!<p>The SNES was my last console. My parents gave me a 386 PC-XT where I played a [version of Space War][2], Sopwith, Rogue, Falcon 1.0, Double Dragon 2, Sim City 2000 and Doom. On later computers I played Daggerfall, XCOM, TIE Fighter, System Shock, Thief, Subspace, Grand Theft Auto, Jagged Alliance, Far Cry 2.<p>Presently I&#x27;m enjoying Elite: Dangerous and Metal Gear Solid V on a Macbook Pro.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;PAL-M" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;PAL-M</a><p>[2]: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;hypertexthero.com&#x2F;logbook&#x2F;2006&#x2F;06&#x2F;spacewar&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;hypertexthero.com&#x2F;logbook&#x2F;2006&#x2F;06&#x2F;spacewar&#x2F;</a><p>(Edited for formatting.)
