I was massively into computer gaming from age about 6, starting with game and watch, then vic20, spectrum and commodore amiga. The last games I remember playing regularly were in the mid-late 90s, stuff like Doom, Goldeneye etc. One thing that really put me off was when everything became 3d-like which I always found way less intuitive (difference between super mario bros and mario64. The other was that games became essentially never ending for the most part. I started doing more physical activities, sports, travelling and music. I'm now thinking about gaming as I've introduced my kids through the snes (mini) and original N64. At some point they will want something more modern like the Switch or a PS5 etc.
Incidentally I recently went to the Retro computer museum in Leicester UK and was so impressed. So much to see and play on. I feel like my nostalgia craving was satisfied and could go back to retro arcades or places like this a couple of times a year and have my fill!
