'''''Video games''''' are [[games]] played on a video screen. I have been playing them since around 1985 when my family got a used [[Atari 2600]] with a bunch of games. Around 1988, my brother and I pooled our money to buy an [[NES]]. Around 1992, I got an [[SNES]] for Christmas. That was the last dedicated video game system I bought while they were still on the market, although I got a couple other used systems over time. Nearly all of my gaming is currently done on PCs, not just playing PC games, but through emulating consoles.

My personal video game favorites.

Video games are games played on a video screen. I have been playing them since around 1985 when my family got a used Atari 2600 with a bunch of games. Around 1988, my brother and I pooled our money to buy an NES. Around 1992, I got an SNES for Christmas. That was the last dedicated video game system I bought while they were still on the market, although I got a couple other used systems over time. Nearly all of my gaming is currently done on PCs, not just playing PC games, but through emulating consoles.
