Did you know September 12 is National Video Games Day

Whether you're an arcade nostalgic, an open-world explorer, a FPS gamer (like myself) or someone who hasn't picked up a controller in decades, video games have a unique way of bringing people together, creating fond memories, and teaching players how to problem-solve!

 

To celebrate this day, we want to know all about your favorite video game or gaming memory.
 

Task: Share one (or more!) of the following:

  • 🕹️ Your all-time favorite video game, preferred gaming console, or current gaming obsession
  • 🖼️ A photo of your current gaming setup or favorite video game character
  • 🧠 Your favorite lesson, strategy, or memory you’ve made from playing games


Comment on a few other posts to keep the conversation going!

Also, if you’re not much of a gamer, don’t worry, feel free to share what you prefer to do instead that is purely for fun like puzzles or board games.

 


During the first week of each month, we post a new question, topic, or activity for you to connect with the community and earn a badge. All community members who join us and contribute a thoughtful comment between September 1 and September 30 will receive this badge worth 50 points by the end of the month.

Great Challenge ​@JoseS ! I firmly sit in the arcade nostalgic corner with fond memories of playing the game in 'Presto', our neighbourhood minimart 🤖 I soon moved on to playing games on my brother's PC like Castle Wolfenstein and later games like Doom and Quake on my own PC. But the one that takes the nostalgic crown is BattleZone. A first person shooter game developed by Atari that some consider the first truly 3D game. I could stretch a quarter for a very, very long time 😁 Lesson learnt? Practice makes Perfect!

@SteveBelgraver Thank you for sharing this! I had to look up some Battlezone gameplay and I can definitely see my younger self spending hours playing this game. The first Atari game I ever remember playing was Space Invaders, but at home since our first console was the NES, I have fond memories of my older brother and I battling to see who could beat the level first on Super Mario Bros. 🎮

I miss playing games in the arcade while killing time before a movie.

Shooting games: Time Crisis 2, 3 & 4, “Elevator action” and some “hunting dinosaur” game.

Physical games: basketball

Arcade stick games: three kingdom, Tekken, Metal Slug 4, etc.

Racing games: Initial D, Midnight Club, some “fighting jet” game

Rhythm games: DDR, DJ Max, Project Diva, Jubeat, Reflec Beat, Taiko drum and Percussion Master

There were so much fun and cheap games back then.

Nowadays, most of the arcade games feels so boring and expensive to play.
