Thread: Best Book Evar

So, not sure what the average age of TPG is, but if you like to read and you like video games from the 80's and 90's you must read "Ready Player One."

Now, I was born in the late 80's, so most of the references in the book kind of flew past me, but I was still obsessed with this book. My wife hated me for a few days because I would read until 4 AM....

Just wondered if anyone else out there had read this book and had the same thoughts I did.

Video games in the 80s? Preposterous. They didn't even have AOL or Juno back then.

No I haven't heard of it.

Atari 2600 console system was released in '77... I had one ... And a TI99a, an Atari 800, and eventually got a Intel 386dx 33; the power was massive... 33Mhz!

I was playing a lot of games in the 80's and on; maybe even '79, but I would have been a bit young, definitely by '82.




EDIT: You'd think I would be better at shooters, right?

Now, Deputy's gonna come and talk about how the heyday of gaming was when pong was introduced when he was only 40 years old.

My first game was early 90's. I knew they excited, but I grew up a po' kid.

Still the best game ever.
