Games you played as kids

But are there any more than before?

Exactly! Are there anymore nutters, or are we just better at finding out about them? The media certainly delight in telling us all about it. The thing is, your kid has a very very low chance of being *insert heinous act here* by some sick pervert, or run over or whatever- we all know that.... but who wants to be the one who must live with the consequences if it happens to your kid?

Nice work - When I was a kid! - I grew up, had a family and changed careers twice before computers were in the workplace - let alone homes.

Most common game for me as a kid was motorcycles. Had them since I was a toddler. Flat out on Minibikes or a push bike with cardpoard pegged in the spokes so it sounded like one.
Hours and hours and hours of backyard cricket. Some Basketball and Soccer goalie which I can still do OK today.

First computer game was Space Invaders - by the bucket of 20c loads.
The submarine one was next fave.

Mac cricket was my first on the 'puter and I still play it.
