Video Games

This post is written as SPGR has invited me to blog on it..


I was introduced to video games in Trichy Super Bazaar by my dad. The place which will be covered by most of the men and boys. I had not seen girls in that shop when ever i visited.  The shop appearance was well described by SPGR already. I think the shop charged one rupee for an hour. A long wait for the turn and my dad used to play in it. I was given chance to play towards the end of one hour duration.  I had played the shooting game there.After few such visits, I got bored in long waiting and not interested to be among crowd of boys, stopped going with my dad.

Then my father got us a brick video game as shown in the above picture. We have played in this for hours. 

When we got the computer at home, we installed many games and played in it. Mario, Prince, Aladdin Dave , Wolf , that's all I remember now. Out of these games, I had completed Aladdin and Wolf.

Out of above listed games, Aladdin is my favorite. The game is colorful and enjoyable one. 

Later, I have got chances to play games online. My favorite is book worm. 

After a while, I was introduced to Zynga's FarmVille,  which I lost interest in playing as it required co-players. 

I forgot to mention that I have played many games in the mobiles I had so far. Below are some of them which I liked.

 snake game     

galaxy balls (a type of brick game)

      ninja's fruit cut game

Now , I have option to download and play games in mobile, but for sake of Dhanesh and Deepak, I am forced to uninstall them after few attempt of playing.

These games are addicting, that it eats hours of our time. 

Now, the gaming zone at the big shopping mall suck thousand rupees in just one hour, as each game work only for few minutes and they charge 25 to 50 rupees for each game. They call it as gaming zone. Actually they should rename it as Casino, as most of them are lottery based and issue tickets based on numbers. The tickets cannot be redeemed as cash, but for toys or added to account for playing the games again.
