The games we used to play

Okay, I admit, I’ve been slacking off a little. I’m still trying to get into the groove of the new year. (Hello 2015!)

As always, my mind climbed aboard its own train (of thoughts) today, and I found myself looking at…. retro electronics handheld games! (What a geek!) Anyway, I actually started out looking at the old Tetris handheld console because I love Tetris and I used to play it every time I could get my hands on it at my cousin’s place (no, I didn’t have one). I just wondered whether it was possible to still get one…

… and then one thing led to another and I was looking up all the old games kids from the 80s and 90s were playing. As I looked, I stumbled upon this website that hosts a digitalised collection of handheld electronic games! I’ve never seen anything like it before! You can actually play these old games on your computer (without downloading anything too!). Plus its design – how the games are presented – is so slick and simple.

I hope at least some of you out there (fellow-geeks, I’m talking to you!) will be as excited and pleased as I was to find this.

For those who aren’t as excited (or maybe not at all), another website with games come to mind. I used to play the games on this site frequently when I was in university because it is superb for people who procrastinate studying and such. The games are simple and straightforward, nothing fancy. But what I love about them are the adorable graphics! Which, I guess, is why I say that perhaps more people will be able to appreciate this collection of simple games.

So now you know some of the things I do when I procrastinate. Happy procrastinating, you guys!
