        I think they’re ok. My boyfriend used to be number one in the world on call of duty on one of the games (impressive or sad? you decide) so I watch him play that a lot, but I’m not allowed to play incase I ruin his score (boooo!).

        I love playing FIFA though and I’ve even beaten him a couple of times! I never let him forget it!

        I wish I had time to get more into them
        I had a ZX spectrum, Amiga 500 PS1, PS2 then grew too busy.

        I play trivial games on my phone from time to time – I am level >500 on Galaxy on Fire Alliances…..

        Best game ever was Elite (by Firebird), closely followed by Civilisation (Sid Myers) and GTA 3 (RockStar)

        I am very interested in the Elite Reboot but need time to get started I think.

        My kids get a few mins of screen time a day and they love Mine Craft – which I can see has merits

        I got my first computer (Amiga 500+ since you asked) at the age of 4, and have rarely been far from playing games ever since.

        My current favourites:

        XCOM 2
        Europa Universalis IV
        SMITE

        Have heard great things about Stellaris though, so I shall be heading that way once I find some time.

        Yes but mostly Nintendo and mostly multiplayer games! I get very competative when I play Mariokart and still love my gamecube (and felt sooo old when I saw a Super Nintendo on display in the science museum).
