80s kid here. Intellivision. Loved pinball. Played all the
  classics in the arcade [I forget the wave - there's officially
  waves, which blows my mind a bit]. Got my Tandy color computer 2
  in '83 at 11 and video game interest started going away and
  learning BASIC took its place. By 16, i declared that "video
  games are for kids 'cause that's what they tell me" and I
  abandoned them. Had NO IDEA people would continue playing as
  adults. I was mighty wrong there!! No regrets. I *did* get to do
  some beta testing beyond that, but I played-for-a-purpose then
  other than score. After testing for DOOM, lost interest totally
  in all forms 'til Minecraft. That changed things for me. == Yup
  smile emoticon I could probably slice my life-so-far into
  stages. Never a regret with any of it so far. As I like to say
  when ppl ask meaning-of-life stuff, "Happy to be here" smile
  emoticon ==
