    Crud. You really make a guy feel lousy for not playing video games all his life. I played, Tomb Raider, and Rainbow 6 for about a year, I think it was the 8th grade and my parent’s were savvy enough to disconnect the Cable TV but not enough to wholly monitor computer usage. My orthodontist had a Sega console with Ecco and Sonic.

I can’t say any of this was enormously life-changing, although Tomb Raider probably helped nourish my love of exploring large forbidden spaces, which I now like to do out in the world.
