Hive Gaming Community Contest - Worst games or gaming experiences /by @marinmex

(Edited)

I was reviewing the different communities looking for an initiative that will motivate me to write and I found in the Hive Gaming Community a call "Worst games or game experiences" when reading the rules I told myself this is not for me, because I am saying it, because I will tell you how I spent part of my childhood, My age has passed half a century and in my childhood there was hardly any AM and FM radio and in my town there was only one station that transmitted in AM, called Radio Guanipa 1350 am, then came the black and white TV, which was so new that we spent hours sitting watching all the programming.

They asked me how you enjoyed yourself, because I could play metras, dance spinning tops, raise the comets to the clouds that I sometimes did with the help of my father. When I was about 6 years old, they gave me a used bicycle, in the afternoons we would gather more than 15 neighbors and we would play hide-and-seek and touch, games that only required our presence and that we could run and the best was free. When I was a little older, like 10 years ago, we used to organize ball games and foosball games in empty fields or in the street when no vehicles passed by.

There were also board games such as dominoes, chess, ludo and the famous bingo that sometimes to make it exciting we charged pennies for the cardboard, the stage some patio or the front of some house and there we gathered adults and teenagers to play, I think this is where the bad experiences began when I lost all the pennies I had in my pocket.

When I played metras we could also go out sad because to put emotion in it we would bet our metras in each play and I could lose or win, they were teachings to learn to assume the defeats and to get up to play the following day looking for the revenge that in several opportunities I recovered what I had lost the previous day.

There were so many games, but I had to do my homework before going out to play with my friends, but that was not a problem, I always made the effort to do my homework in the classroom while the teacher copied it on the blackboard, so I had the afternoon completely free to share with my contemporary neighbors with me.

So I arrived at 15 years old and while I was in Ciudad Bolivar visiting my grandmother and uncles, we passed by my aunt Josefina's house, who lived with her son Osvaldo. I was able to see for the first time a game called Atari, which was something new and I was even afraid to touch it. We stayed there for about an hour and left happily for a nearby park to play touch and hide, how much I remember those moments when we all shared our cousins. That was my closest experience with electronic games in my childhood.

While I was in school and I was studying for my bachelor's degree, I used to work by hand or with typewriters that were a great novelty. Tell me the electrical ones that were in the television, when I graduated from high school and I managed to enter university, I could see a computer for the first time, it was one of those to which we used to put the disks to start the operating system, Then came the ones that brought hard drives and had pre-installed the games of Solitaire and Minesweeper that were the best and that what I did was to see others play, until in the house where I lived while I was studying they bought a PC and I was able to have access to play I felt super happy, there were some soccer games, but the truth is I am not very skilled in games, I like to see how others play.

When I was about to graduate a teacher got me to do an internship in a company where I had access to the computer 24 hours, because it was my job and in the few free minutes those who had more time showed me the game Duke Nukem, we played it each one in his pc, until one of the bosses brought some cards and cables and connected the computers in network and showed us how to enter several to the game, it was wonderful, when I had to try, guess what I did, hajjajaj, I killed the one who was teaching me, they took me out of the game, but I was happy to live that experience.

They are moments that fill our memory with situations that today are funny, they did not mark any trauma, because my thing was sports, but they filled me with happy moments when I saw the novelty of the technology of the moment, I tell you that I did not need the electronic games although I enjoyed and applauded those who played well.

Thanks to the promoters of this initiative that took me to fly through the universe of memories until my years as a child happy with traditional games, I thank God because we have been able to buy some electronic games for my children, but we continue to instill in them the experience of traditional games.

Maybe it is not an experience of multiple experienced games, but I wanted to show my little experience in games, but I had fun living it, I didn't have the opportunity to have my parents buy me games, but they gave me with a lot of effort the education that is one of my most precious treasures, grateful to the brave ones who dared to reach the end.

Te quedó genial tu participación para este reto, me reí un mundo con tus ocurrencias. La verdad mi historia con los video juegos no está tan lejos de la tuya, pero en mi caso no me interesaban. Seguramente me una también a esta iniciativa, está muy divertida.
