| The Evolution of Virtual Games: Early 90's to Late 90's |
I grew up to Battle City, PacMan and Super Mario and based on that statement I think you can roughly estimate how old I am. YES, I'M THAT OLD!
My Mother bought me a Family Computer in the early 90's and since then I've never looked back. Those were the days before Dance Revolution, Counter Strike, SIMS, Diner Dash, Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja were invented.
I am a living witness to the advancement and evolution of virtual games through the years and therefore you have permission to call me a geek. Thank you very much!

Facebook revolutionized the Online Gaming experience with Real Time Strategy games which are really addicting! Some people I know sets alarm and reminders to harvest virtual crops before they wither or serve food they've been virtually cooking!
I must confess. I used to be one of them!
It all started with Yoville. After 2 years I have moved on to Cafe World, Fashion World, Farmville and other FB games and soon tired of them. Yoville however is a different story. Can you blame me with its super cute graphics? It's like SIM City, only a million times better! I will remain forever a Yovillian. *ahem*
As much as I have enjoyed playing with the Family Computer or Brick Game when I was younger, I am one of the fortunate few who was able to play with fellow kids outdoors.
Nowadays, you will seldom hear shrieking kids playing outside in the streets as most of them are busy on the internet or playing online games. It's very saddening for me to see children now as young as 2 years old with their own laptops and iPads when they can be enjoying the great outdoors instead.
Kids games and past times changed just as generations changed, some arguably for better or worse. The biggest change is moving from a generation where games could be played outside with real friends or games played in groups to a whole new virtual world of games interacting with people from all over the globe.
