I didn't play or like a lot of board games as a child. I liked playing with my G.I. Joes and making up adventures for them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I didn't play with other children.
When the board games came out of the cupboard when I was a kid, I had to beat my two brothers every time.
One day, I was playing 'The Game of Life,' the board game, with a mess of kids, and I wasn't quite sure how, but it seemed different than the game I remembered playing as a kid. So I bought an old game, from 1960, and it was different.
I have been playing games since I was about 6, and they've always been a big hobby of mine.
When I was a kid, we never had a videogame in my house. But my cousin did, and each time I went to her house I was able to play 'Tetris' and 'Mario.' Those were the only two games I played as a child.
I mean we all played as kids. You play games, you take on different characters, you imitate; the fun and the love of play has never left me.
I didn't grow up playing video games. I grew up catching crawdads in the creek and minnows and lizards and snakes.
I think that as I had children, I have five sons, and they got into video games and were the prime ages through the development of video games. It was so much fun seeing them play the games and seeing it through their eyes.
When I was a kid, I really liked playing chess, which is pretty geeky; I just enjoyed it - thinking, exercising my mind. And I found computers to be like an eight-hour day chess game.
All my life I've been that way - ever since I was a kid. It doesn't matter whether we played video games or even before that when we had board games when you played with your sister and mom and dad - I didn't like losing then and didn't want to do anything but win when we played.
