What are some of your favorite games, growing up, if you got play any of them?

This can be from old school games growing up, or home games you played at home, or board games you use to play with your friends, or card games with your friends, maybe some video games, or maybe even marbles, or jacks, or kick the can with the neighbor hood friends.

Nintendo64 was always my thing. :) I gave mine to a child about 5-6 years back. I miss it, but it is good, because I lived on it. LOL. I thought if I could find one Id get one again. Harvest moon and Zelda ocarina of time were my two favorites

Actually, if you are including from ages 10+ and up, I liked playing simulated war games with my father, and later with my uncle.

I still play strategy games on PS4, but things are easier now because the number crunching and attack resolutions are done for you. Much more fun.

I also liked Monopoly and several others, but the strategy games are the ones that came immediately to mind.

As far as board games, monopoly and Yahtzee. Can't wait till my kids get older to play with me. LOL

Hope they will grow big and strong, and stay close to God friend, always fun to play some family time board game with others. That is also very interesting how you use to play the Nintendo 64: You use to play it all the time haha. Playing games like Legend of Zelda, and Harvest moon. Zelda was fun going on quest, and having an adventure. While Harvest moon was taking more care of the farming side of life, how nice of you to give it so some child several years back. Wonder how much that child may have enjoyed ending up playing it. Thank you for sharing! :)

Yes, of course any game at all will do just fine, HIH. Simulated war games, with your Father, and later your uncle? Was this picture Panzer Leader something you and your Father, and your Uncle would play? Have never seen anything like it myself.

You also play strategy games on the ps4, ~ What do you mean number crunching and attack resolutions are done for you ? What game is that? am Glad you like it.

Monopoly and several others, and the strategy games.

There use to be a game that was played called Arma 2 a long time ago by me and a friend, one of the most interesting army simulation games did ever play, we got to play simulated (Cops and robbers - with others from around the world), all too fun just enjoying being together really.

Thank you for sharing.

You had to add up attack strengths vs. defense strengths, minus terrain bonuses, minus range, and all sorts of other stuff to calculate if you destroyed units or not. It dragged too much. On computer it does all that for you.

I play Civilization VI, and I also bought Fantasy General for PS4, which is the exact same concept as Panzer General only it's in a Fantasy Heroes and Monsters type setting instead of WWII.

I heard of Arma 2. Never got into it, but I heard it was decent.

Same game. They still sell it I think. Didn't like playing it with my uncle, though. He was merciless. He's a psychiatrist, and I think he liked taking advantage of quirks in the rules just to see how I'd react or something, LoL.

I remember something like this! It wasn't this particular one, but very similar!

Very complicated! I think I played it once.

I forgotten all about that!

Much love!

Avalon Hill produced a bunch of war games along those same lines, including the sister game Panzer Blitz, which recreated the Eastern Front.

One game I would have liked to have gotten into but never had friends for was Dungeons & Dragons. But then maybe it's just as well. Too much occult influence IMO for a young kid to be playing around with.

I remember when that was going around. I think God just held me back. I had friends who were into it, but for whatever reason it just didn't draw me.

Hello HIH,

One game would probably play with others is Dungeons and Dragons, have gotten to play it one time in life with a fellow trailerparkian, who lived here for a moment in time. Me and Patrick played for an hour and it was really neat, very interesting especially if you know and have a good general grasp on how everything works in the game.

It was fun coming up upon a huge Golden Dragon, then having the choice to keep pushing forward, or turn back, or turn left to go to wherever.

Was that kind of the same experience when it came to those strategy games?

Thank you for sharing, that about your uncle. You seemed and probably learned a very valuable lesson about how humans work at a very early stage of life. Hope there was good times spent with Him though not knowing.

Childhood: Mousetrap, Snakes and Ladders, Candyland

Teens: Chess, Risk, Othello, Go

Hello Marks,

Mousetrap, Snakes and Ladders, and Candyland - very interesting, Do you remember playing these games with others a lot when you were growing up say going to elementary school?

Chess, and Risk, what did you like about those games?

What is Othello, Millie Borne, and Parchesi?

Rummy have played before it is a card game.

Much love :)

Well,I like video games but mostly I play games on my phone. I like different arcades. Also, I like playing casinos I’m a gambler. I can say that’s my hobby. I started playing it four years ago. Very cool thing, you can have fun and earn money at the same time. I tried a lot different casinos but my favorite is mr bet login. I play only on proven gaming platforms.

I like fast and dynamic games on the phone, possibly competitive modes.Lately I've been going through the top of multiline slots online https://usacasinosanalyzer.com/slots-online/multiline Just the same, I've been looking for similar offers and gameplay speed lately. The main thing is to postpone a certain amount and not replenish it, so often it turns out even to win.

PUBG. It's certainly not as relevant now as it used to be. But from time to time I go to it to remember the old days. But Apex Legends came to replace PUBG. Quite similar games between them. But still have differences. My favorite character is Octane. I like to use trampoline on this character. Recently got the badges on this character which I wanted for a long time here. And now purposefully engaged in order to pump the rank beyond recognition.

Ah the Strategy game I got into recently is an oldie but a goodie, it's called Front Mission 3 a Turn based strategy mech game, there are some pretty funny moments in that game, the Barilar Family Farm mission is a laugh, you fight methane powered mechs powered from their cows, and their reactions are hilarious as you take down their mechs lolz.
