I played Zak Mackraken on my C64 for 18 hours in a row until it crashed and I could not restore my save... I started over. I was 10 back then. Both my parents were in academia and wouldn't just let me play all the time, but at some point they gave up. Later, I played Civilization for so many hours and through the night that once I fell asleep my dreams were filled with hexagons. Then there was Tetris. Oh, and, Wolfenstein, and the all legendary Age of Empires! And, here I am, 25 years later, and I am doing just fine. I am healthy, mentally stable and don't care about any computer game no more (ok, I am addicted to HN but that's a different story...).
