“I’ve read a bunch of<br />
articles over the years<br />
on how gaming is good<br />
for you and I really<br />
believe it to be so....<br />
Working on this article really gave<br />
me a nostalgia rush (if only they<br />
could bottle that!) and it took me<br />
back to late nights with the family<br />
all in bed and me sitting behind<br />
my monitor with headphones on,<br />
engaged in some war in another<br />
country and often another time.<br />
I’ve read a bunch of articles over<br />
the years on how gaming is good<br />
for you and I really believe it to be<br />
so. Sitting down and just playing<br />
something you love can make you<br />

that short time, you’re focused<br />
”<br />

other thing this article did was<br />
remind me how many games on<br />

search for Amiga games - dozens<br />
of them… They really were good<br />
times.
