When I wrote the post
Video Games I did not expect that , I would land up writing part 2 for it.
The need for part 2 came , when I came across some of the games in play store in my android phone. Some of the games which I have played in child hood as board and real games have come today as mobile app.
Before the arrival of mobile games , I had come across only chess game in computer
I used to play the chess board game with my dad, sister and some neighbors
When I started playing Dos and Windows game in my home PC, I got chess game. I used to compete against the computer in chess game. I had enjoyed playing when there is no one to play chess with me.

Snake and Ladder game. There were several version of the game. But my favourite version is this. Having a Lengthy snake in box number 99 and which comes down to box number 5. If we hit on the box 99 , we have to make our journey again from box number 5. Some of the player withdrew from the game if they see that they land up on this box number 99.

The only benefit with the mobile games is that, it does not require additional player. The mobile takes care of it. Since I have played these games in real, I do not like to play them in the app.
There could be other games in mobile which we played in childhood too but the above listed are the ones which I remember right now.
